Paige + Austin’s Wedding at Eastern Yacht Club

June 17, 2024

There’s nothing quite like a New England summer wedding by the sea—and Paige and Austin’s celebration at the Eastern Yacht Club in Marblehead, Massachusetts, was the perfect blend of coastal charm and classic elegance.

Even a surprise, 15 minute June downpour (hail included!) couldn’t dampen the beauty of the day. Set against the oceanfront backdrop of the Eastern Yacht Club, their wedding design blended timeless style with personal touches that told their story.

Elegant Welcome Signage with Floral Details

From the start, Paige had a clear vision for thoughtful, cohesive details. We began with custom welcome signage at both entrances to the Eastern Yacht Club. To bring her floral-forward vision to life, we collaborated with the incredibly talented team at Lilac and Lily to create two unique signs that coordinated with their surrounding floral installations. The varying planter sizes allowed us to design signs with different dimensions—each one tailored to its specific placement and arrangement.

Classic Ceremony Programs in Slate Letterpress

For the ceremony, simplicity met sophistication. We created elegant letterpress programs printed in slate gray ink on double-thick cotton paper. These refined pieces added a tactile, timeless element to the waterfront ceremony and served as beautiful keepsakes for guests.

A Floral Escort Card Display That Stole the Show

Following cocktail hour, guests made their way to a show-stopping escort card display nestled within a lush floral installation. Rather than opting for a traditional layout, the couple chose to make this station a true visual moment—functional, beautiful, and completely unique to their day.

A Personal Touch at the Reception Tables

Inside the reception tent, a crisp white setting became the perfect canvas for soft color and meaningful details. We designed minimalist dinner menus and coordinating table numbers that complemented the florals and tablescape without overpowering the space.

One of the most thoughtful personal touches? Sprigs of fresh sage were placed at each setting—brought in from a ranch in Wyoming that Paige’s family has visited for generations. It was a subtle but heartfelt nod to a place that holds deep meaning for the bride.
