‘Something Blue’ Everywhere at This Stunning Black-Tie Wedding at Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury

Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury

Nicolette and Michael’s chose Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury for their August 15, 2026 wedding—a black-tie celebration that was built around a mostly white palette with dusty blue woven throughout: bridesmaid dresses and flower girl gowns in soft blue shades, blue floral invitations, blue velvet ring boxes, and blue martinis at cocktail hour. Tall candlelit centerpieces of hydrangea, rose, stock, and orchid filled the reception space with warmth and gold details.

Their Story

Nicolette and Michael are the kind of couple who finish each other’s thoughts. Their favorite moments are simple: recapping the day on the couch over a good show, walks and beach days, and trying new restaurants, especially omakase. Fun, goal-oriented and always on the same page, they keep each other smiling.
