When I arrived at the Falmouth Inn on the Square to meet Grace & her friends as they prepared for Grace’s big day, I was instantly struck by the close bond they all share and was immediately drawn to an expression they seemed to use quite a lot with each other….Bless. It was Grace’s & her friends’ way of noting when something sweet, special and pleasantly unexpected was happening.
And, “Bless” was the perfect way to sum up Grace & Silas’s incredible wedding day.
While it wasn’t exactly unexpected….Grace & Silas have been together for 10+ years…their wedding was certainly sweet, most definitely special and it was peppered with some very happy surprises.
The ceremony & reception took place in the beautiful backyard of Silas’s mom, Jessie, and her husband, Stu. Overlooking Siders Pond in Falmouth, friends & family gathered to watch these two beautiful, smart, funny, creative, lovely people say, “I do!” as the rest of the country celebrated another happy occasion…233 years of Independence.
Their reception had all the usual pomp & circumstance, with some extra special surprises, like fireworks, sparklers and one of the coolest DJs Andy & I have ever heard, DJ Jayceeoh, who spun up from the New York club scene for Silas & Grace’s special day.
Here are just a few of our favorite moments from their wonderful wedding celebration! Enjoy!
The dress! I don’t know why exactly, but I really like the way the pointed ceiling & half moon window play off the dress’s flower embellishment and the triangular ribbon holding it on the hanger. Fun symmetry!
We’ve seen many a bride toast her wedding day preparations with champagne, wine, and the occasional beer, but a fine, 17-year-old, single-malt scotch…that was a fun first!!! Grace is gorgeous, elegant, stylish and definitely unique! Just a few of the many things we find so endearing about her!
Ga-ga Gorgeous!
One of Grace’s friends made this totally adorable hair clip for her….so cute! And that little bit o’Tiffany’s magic was a wedding gift courtesy of her sweet soon-to-be hubby….nice one, Silas!!
When Grace laughs it’s hard not to laugh with her…she just lights up a room with that smile of hers!
Grace had some very cool gold necklaces made for her bridesmaids. The pendant features each girl’s star sign. Very cool!
Grace & Silas’s pooch, Shorty, was very excited about the pending festivities…
Silas & his guys chill in one of the lounge areas that dotted the reception site. The property really had a modern & chilled out, yet completely elegant feel about it….like Great Gatsby meets West Elm.
I see you…
A future wedding photographer in the making….LOVE IT!
Taking in the moment, Grace looks excited and ready to marry Silas as she’s led down the aisle by her very sweet brother, Donny.
The look of love…..
It’s official…we’re married!!! Yipppeee!!! I remember that feeling and there haven’t been many since that compare!!! Way to go you two!
Complete contentment!
So sweet…
The gang…
And just a few of the many fabulous details from Grace & Silas’s day…including some Mmmm-good red velvet cupcakes from Grace & Silas’s fabulous caterer, The Casual Gourmet.
First dance….with the warm afternoon sun providing a dramatic spotlight! So cool!
I (heart) you!
Warm, heart-felt thanks to Grace & Silas for inviting us to be a part of such a special time in your lives! You two are wonderful together, and we have no doubt that for you, the future holds many more happy years together! Big hugs & much love, Christine & Andy xo
