Jill & Nate’s Nautical New England Wedding!

This wedding is close to my heart, mainly because I am lucky enough to say I know the bride and groom! They are quite the two love birds….you know the type, making googly eyes at each other across the room, always rooting for each other whether it be at a marathon or a triathlon, they are each others biggest fans and seeing the sparks and love between the two of them is quite a joy for all those who know them. I haven’t met two people who were more meant for each other! And I really think it shows in their wedding pictures. What a beautiful and romantic wedding for two people who truly deserve it! 😉

Enjoy the fabulous wedding of Mr & Mrs Nate & Jill Brown!

What was your inspiration for your wedding?

Our venue was truly our inspiration for our wedding. I had been to a baby naming for a newborn I babysat in highschool at the Atlantica. I knew as I entered the function room that that is where I wanted to get married someday. The room has panoramic views of the harbor so we decided to go with a nautical theme, playing off the venue. We wanted our wedding to capture our love for the ocean and give guests that classic summertime party!

How did you tie that inspiration in to what you choose for your bridesmaid dresses/bridal gown?

My husband, Nate, chose the color for our wedding! He thought it was obvious that it would be “blue” since the reception was on the water. I loved that he wanted to add his advice into these often bride-only decisions, so we went with blue (which gave me a lot to work with since there are so many shades of blue) and we added in some splash of teal and hot pink for fun.

What did you choose?

Dessy Collection

What color?

Sailor blue

What were you looking for in your bridesmaid dresses?

Since our wedding was going to be in July I wanted a dress for the girls that was comfortable for that time of year. I wanted the dresses to be affordable since we all have a closet full of old bridesmaid dresses we’ve never worn again! I wanted all the girls to pick their own style dress, keeping it within the same color, in hopes they will wear it again. They all ended up chosing various styles all in chiffon which I think worked well for the 80 degree day we had and they all looked great! Flair offered a lot of choices as far as colors, style of dress and prices.

How was Stacey/Lindsay/Brooke most helpful?

Stacey was amazing! She was more than helpful, offering her honesty, experiences and expertise. She is enthusiastic, energetic and is genuinely excited for her clients upcoming weddings, which is exactly what a bride is in need of!

What did you choose for your bridal gown?

I went to the Boston’s “Running of the brides” in February. I went after the hustle and bustle of enery driven brides was over at 6pm. I met my sister and mother there, tried on about 10 gowns and found my dress. The warnings before going would be there are no changing rooms, so I just wore a bathing suit while trying on the gowns. There were still hundreds of dresses left that late at night and we were able to skip the craziness that morning!

Tips for brides when selecting their BM dresses? Bridal Gowns?

I would recommend not bringing your entire bridal party to try on bridesmaid dresses if youre chosing one for all of them. Don’t get me wrong, I know you love everyone in your bridal party, which is why you chose them, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to love everyone’s opinions. That being said I realized everyone has different taste, let them chose their own! Stick with a color or style and let them have some say in where they spend their money!

How was your experience at Flair?

Flair is the cutest little bridal boutique. Its small size makes it intimate for you and your bridesmaids, family, and friends. With having the whole store to yourself during your appointment the store really allows you to play around and have fun…and isn’t that what this is all about?!

Where did you get married??

We got married at St. Theresas Chapel in Humarock, MA, my summer church growing up. Our reception was at Atlantica Restaurant in Cohasset.

What was your favorite moment at the wedding?

We took pictures before the wedding and we met at Scituate Lighthouse. Our photographer set Nate up on one side of the lighthouse and I had to walk around til I found him. Seeing each other on our wedding day for the first time was a feeling I will never forget. I’ve know him for almost a decade, but for some reason I had butterflies in my stomach looking for him around the lighthouse. AT the wedding my favorite moment was sitting at our sweetheart table together. Listening to the speeches and LAUGHING. Looking around and seeing everyone celebrating for you is an overwhelming feeling that I’ll never forget sharing with my new husband. We couldn’t stop smiling.
