Al Fresco Wellesley Island Wedding on the River

A wedding by the water? Sign. us. up!! On a beautiful September day, we headed to Wellesley Island, New York to help make magic for Maggie and Sean’s gorgeous wedding on the river. They opted for an al fresco style celebration with their closest friends and family. And judging by these photos by By Bridget Photo, it looked like such a joy! These two are such a fun-loving couple and we’re so excited we could be a part of creating their vision. We hope you enjoy these images as much as we do!

Ceremony

In New York, it’s not every day we get to set up a wedding ceremony on the river, but when we do we make it really pretty. Hard to beat a backdrop as stunning as this one!

Lounge Area

We love that Maggie and Sean chose to implement a cozy lounge set up. Sometimes sitting on outdoor furniture can be uncomfortable…and not fit in with the look of all the other cute details. With this display, guests were able to not only sit comfortable, but sit in style too — all while taking in the incredible views.

Dessert Display

How do you make a cake display a focal point in your decor when the scenery is so pretty? THIS is how you make it happen. We displayed the cupcakes and cake on an assortment of trays which stood atop a simple vintage piece with eucalyptus propped beside it. Not only did it all look so good, it made for some really pretty photos too!

Not only do we love that Maggie and Sean kept their day small and intimate, but that they invested into their details too! Small weddings can still be celebrated big — and this wedding is the proof! Thanks Maggie and Sean for letting us be a part of it.

No matter the size of your celebration, we want to help you with your details too! Email us at prettylittlevintageco@gmail.com for more information.
