Alyssa and Bob are getting married this Friday and I am totally ready for all the pretty! Bring. It. On! You all know I love the shore. I mean it. Seriously, it’s my zen. Anytime I get to help plan and manage a wedding on LBI, I am so happy to get to spend a day working surrounded by the bays and ocean. And their Bonnet Island Estate winter wedding is going to be, hands-down, a dream. The bonus: I also get to witness people making a life long commitment to love and care for one another!
Alyssa and Bob’s wedding will not disappoint! They have chosen a beautiful venue. Bonnet Island is totally gorgeous! It’s surrounded by breathtaking views of Barnegat Bay. The Estate has a charming rustic feel. With shaker siding and a soft blue-gray exterior, the Estate just makes you feel calm.
And because it’s the holiday season, but you don’t want to go red-gold-santa-crazy, they’ve chosen beautiful accents with evergreen, gold, and pine cones. Check out the gorgeous inspiration board I created for Alyssa. It’s simple, classy, and winter-elegant. In fact, winter-elegant may be one of my new favorite wedding themes.
I have no doubt that one of my favorite details is going to be the mirror hand-calligraphy seating chart created by Kelli at Wanderlove Press, Inc. Here’s a glimpse at her inspiration. I can’t wait to share the final version of lovely she has been working on for the past few weeks!
