Some weddings have a playlist that tells you everything. Billy Joel down the aisle, the Beatles for the first dance, a jazz trio during cocktail hour, and Prince making an appearance because Julia’s from Minnesota and that’s non-negotiable.
The Wainwright House in Rye gave the day a stately waterfront backdrop; Sound-side, with a coastal energy that could pass for New England without technically crossing the border. The night before, the whole crew gathered for a welcome dinner in downtown Rye, warm and cozy in a town that suited them perfectly.
Design was a major part of the story. Bold, bright patterns and color ran through the tablecloths and florals - nothing shy about any of it, and nothing that didn’t belong. The kind of palette that earns its place on a sunny day by the water.
Daniel kept everyone laughing all day. Julia soaked in every moment of it. Together they had a bubbly, easy chemistry that made the whole day feel light. Cocktail hour on the water, surrounded by their favorite people, not a moment they weren’t fully in it.
