A Nancy Meyers-Inspired Coastal Wedding at Castle Hill in Newport
[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]
The color scheme for the weekend was a mix of blues, greens, and white. The colors were chosen to complement the natural coastal beauty of the venue, Castle Hill.

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]
The aesthetic for the wedding celebration was Nancy Meyers, meets coastal grandmother, meets New England traditional. The tent design was layered with banquet seating to mimic an at-home, cozy yet upscale dining experience. Other special touches throughout the design were buoys used as place card holders at the escort wall display as a nod to Ali and Ian’s love of being on the ocean, a signature cocktail for their dog Bonnie, and a vintage getaway car as a nod to Ian’s late father.
