A Dreamy Waterfront Wedding With Sunset Details

Michaela and Anthony wed on June 10, 2023 at the Yacht Club of Sea Isle City.

Details of the Day

Bride Michaela’s wedding vision was modern, casual seaside elegance with a touch of boho.

She was inspired by the natural environment of the Shore.

The color palette complimented the natural surroundings offered by the bayside venue, known for its gorgeous sunsets!

The girls got ready in a picture-perfect Avalon home which provided a gorgeous backdrop for portraits, before heading to the beach.

The ceremony took place bayside, at Sea Isle Yacht Club. Micheala’s uncle built the couple a beautiful arbor for their ceremony, and it was adorned with countless vibrant blooms.

The reception space was truly a dream, with over the top florals and sentimental touches. The table settings matched the colors of the sunset.

Florals

Creams, whites, pale peaches, sages, tans, champagnes, blushes, touches of light blue and orange blended together throughout the loose, organic florals.

Anthony’s mother harvested locally grown seat oats from their shore home and Michaela thoughtfully incorporated them into several floral designs throughout the wedding day.

Special Touch

A special touch, appreciated by many guests, were handwritten personal notecards placed at each guest’s place setting, welcoming them and thanking them for joining the couple on their special day.

Dessert Time

In lieu of a wedding cake, the couple chose to have a tiered cannoli display and shared a cannoli in place of a cake-cutting.

They also offered espresso martinis and homemade Orangecello made by the mother of the groom!

Favorite Detail

A watercolor artist was brought in to paint a scene from the wedding ceremony, which guests enjoyed watching come to life throughout the reception.

Later, the painting was presented to the couple at the end of the evening.
