Favorite wedding to date (of ones I have not attended:P).
Inspired by the south of France, The Great Gatsby, Miss Havisham’s mansion in Great Expectations, I simply can’t get enough. The bride’s family’s summer home in the Hamptons was perfect to set the dreamy mood.

Both the bride’s mother and father walked Rebecca down the aisle as Ray Lamontagne’s “Shelter” played in the background.
The flower girls’ dresses, fashioned of leotards, tulle skirts, and silk ribbon, were designed by Rebecca’s mother. The family cocker spaniel, Joey, even joined the in celebration… You know how I love pet/ any animals being included in the big day!

After the ceremony a nebuchadnezzar of champagne was poured and a live band played Ray Lamontagne’s “You Are the Best Thing.”
Rebecca and her mother designed the bridesmaid dresses together– one day they hope to start their own bridesmaid collection. This family is one talented bunch!
For cocktail hour, a table of artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, grapes, figs, Provencal vegetables, and baguettes. The couple wanted it to feel like their guests were strolling through the french countryside and came across a charming market.
