Chris & Sara's Aquarium Wedding

10/29/2017

0 Comments

 
We started working with Sara & Chris more than a year in advance of their June wedding and it was clear from the start that Sara was a planner.  She pulled everything together beautifully (including the weather!) and had so many cool, unexpected elements at their wedding (hello, penguin ice luge!).  We're so excited to relive their day, thanks to photos from Brian Pescatore.

​Sara and Chris got ready at the Long Wharf Marriott, which provided a gorgeous backdrop to their morning. The girls had hair and makeup done by the ever-fabulous Demiche.  After Sara zipped up her dress, she did a mini “first look” with her bridal party girls, including the little flower girl.  Then she headed out onto the crowded Boston docks to find her husband-to-be for their first look.  Friends and family joined them for some portraits and then the whole group headed inside the New England Aquarium to cool off in the air conditioning before ceremony time.  Sara and Chris even made a new friend on their way inside!

​The ceremony started right on time and the backdrop of the Boston Harbor was the perfect view.  The officiant, a family friend, kept it short and sweet, and you could see the emotion in the eyes of the attendees who were there to celebrate young love. A kiss sealed the marriage and the bride and groom headed off and led the way for guests into cocktail hour.
 
Cocktail hour was inside the museum, which sort of felt like a backstage pass since the museum was closed.  The penguins squawked while the in-house catering at the aquarium served up food and beverages.  The guestbook, a large canvas skyline, was out for guests to sign and they picked up their seating assignments while they mingled. Meanwhile, the bride and groom took a moment for some portraits and attracted a lot of attention on the busy Boston streets.  They joined their cocktail hour with just enough time to greet guests and grab a drink!

​Guests moved into the reception tent and they were struck by the transformation. As the sun set, the gorgeous uplighting and overhead lights from Design Light came on and wowed the crowd.  Florals from Centre Pieces Design were a perfect match for the room and a stunning multi-tiered cake from Cakes for Occasions was on display.  Of course, guests couldn’t miss the penguin ice luge set up near the bar.  Guests had ice-cold signature drinks all night, thanks to Brilliant Ice Sculptures!
 
DJ Greg Gages from Entertainment Concepts got the crowd pumped up before introducing each member of the bridal party. When it came time for the bride and groom, guests were on their feet! Sara & Chris shared a first dance before dinner was served.  As guests finished their meal, we were treated to heartfelt toasts from the bride’s mom, the maid of honor, the best man, and the couple themselves.  What was clear to everyone there was how loved Sara & Chris are.

After they cut the cake, Sara & Chris participated in parent dances before opening up the floor for the rest of the night. DJ Greg kept the dance floor full from start to finish and, in fact, had guests chanting “one more song!” as the night closed out.
​
It was a gorgeous harborside Boston wedding, and it turned out flawlessly. Congrats Sara & Chris!
