There’s something magical about a wedding by the water, and this celebration at Saybrook Point Resort & Marina was no exception. With the Connecticut shoreline as their backdrop, this fun-loving couple tied the knot in a day filled with vibrant florals, breezy seaside vibes, and unforgettable moments. The bride’s sleek satin sheath gown paired beautifully with her attendants’ fresh blue and white floral print dresses. Meanwhile, the groom and his groomsmen kept it classic yet playful in navy blue suits—a perfect match for the bright and bold floral palette that was woven into every part of the day.

bouquets + bouts

Now, let’s talk flowers! The bride’s bouquet was a true showstopper—luxurious and full of life, just like the day itself. Coral charm peonies stole the show, surrounded by dreamy peach ranunculus and cheerful yellow garden roses. To keep things fun and vibrant, we added in playful orange snapdragons and touches of Dutch blue delphinium for that perfect pop of color. The bridesmaids carried matching posies, creating the ideal complement to their floral dresses. And for the groomsmen? We kept it simple but oh-so-stylish with white spray roses tied off with white ribbon—just enough elegance without overshadowing the fun.

ceremony

Set right by the water, the ceremony was a coastal dream come true. Two oversized arrangements of peonies, delphinium, and local blooms perched on clean white pedestals framed the couple as they said their “I do’s.” Simple yet impactful, the ground arrangements added a layer of texture, bringing the beachy vibes to life. The waves lapped in the background as the couple stood surrounded by vibrant, playful florals—truly the picture-perfect setting for a ceremony by the sea.

dinner + dancing

We mixed it up with tall metal stands holding large, overflowing arrangements of peonies, hydrangeas, and more—vibrant and bold, just like the couple. Meanwhile, low ceramic compotes filled with colorful blooms graced other tables, creating a dynamic display of height and texture. Rattan lanterns scattered across the sweetheart table and cocktail spaces added that extra coastal charm, with their soft glow creating a cozy, intimate vibe as the sun went down.
