We went with a very neutral color palette—a beautiful mauve with whites and ivories. Pampas grass was a major key as well.Melissa and Matthew in Sea Isle

I grew up going to Sea Isle every summer. When I was little, I would take walks on the beach and wonder what my life was going to be like and who I would marry. I swore I’d get married right on that very beach. And that dream came true with the most dreamy, magical wedding day.Melissa and Matthew in Sea Isle

My Matthew Christopher gown was a dream. I put it on and instantly felt like a bride. It was just enough sparkle without over-doing it. The train on the dress is out of this world! And what really tied it all together for me was the shell-like details throughout the bodice. I wish I could wear it every day.Melissa and Matthew in Sea Isle

The moment I stopped at the beginning of the aisle and Matt turned around to see me for the first time. Chills!Melissa and Matthew in Sea Isle

Pampas grass! It made all the difference and added the perfect touch of boho beach-chic.Melissa and Matthew in Sea Isle
