Industrial/Chic: Sarah & Ryan's Wedding!

​Sarah and Ryan’s wedding at the historic Charles River Museum of Innovation and Industry was a celebration love, laugher and friendship – from the breathtaking first look on a rustic footbridge to the amazing dance party that had everyone on their feet, it was truly a night to remember!

​Following a morning of pampering by Kandace Cummings of Anita Kurl and Lauren Baran, the bride stepped into her gorgeous tiered-lace mermaid gown (talk about a jaw-dropping train), before making her way to the museum to greet her groom.   After sharing a private first look and, of course, a kiss, Sarah and Ryan joined their bridal party for a photo session along the banks of the Charles River.

​The ceremony, officiated by the bride’s cousin Talia, was a moving tribute to Sarah and Ryan’s deep connection, and the joy and peace they bring to each other’s lives.  Under a delicate birch branch chuppah and flanked by their bridal party, the couple pledged to stand by one another as they embark on a exciting new journey as husband and wife.  In a fitting conclusion to the ceremony, the guests offered up a resounding Mazel Tov as the happy couple recessed to The Emotions, Best of My Love!
 
Guests were then invited to explore the museum while savoring delicious treats from Dinner and Company and refreshing beverages from Cocktails.   A clever postcard guestbook station complete with a customized mailbox, encouraged guests to pen a note for the newlyweds!

​Sarah and Ryan’s incredible attention to detail was evident in the thoughtful reception décor – the rich burgundy and soft pink floral accents from Waltham’s Florist coupled with an abundance of candles and an eye-catching gold sweetheart table were the perfect complements to the historic industrial space.  The custom popcorn favors with labels designed by the groom added the perfect touch of humor to the elegant surroundings.
 
Much to the delight of their guests, Sarah and Ryan opened the reception with a romantic first dance to Leon Bridges’ Coming Home!   The newlyweds and their guests were then treated to a unique dinner experience – buffet stations featuring everything from classic Italian favorites to a make-your-own taco bar!   Following moving toasts from friends and family, DJ Tony invited the guests to the dance floor for an enthusiastic hora!  Thankfully the bride and groom had a good grip on their chairs (and Shutter and Sound Videography was on hand to capture it all)!  

​Sarah and Ryan’s big day was a testament not only to their love for each other but to the love their friends and family have for them both.  We were honored to have been a part of their celebration and hope their next adventure will be equally full of joy, laughter and hopefully, an endless supply of choco tacos!
