Real Wedding of Maya and Tommy Primeau

I recently had the privelage to help an amazing couple plan their wedding. Maya and Tommy first came to my office last October knowing that they wanted a summer wedding at the beach.

Maya, a horse trainer and Tommy who works as a stuntman wanted a beach wedding that would reflect their outgoing personalities and sense of adventure and fun.  

After previewing many beach front settings they decided to have their wedding at Shutters on the Beach an upscale venue with a cozy New England vibe. Even though our catering director Michael Kossart would not let the groom set himself on fire or rappel himself from the roof of the hotel into his ceremony we thoroughly enjoyed our experience working with him

Since Maya is Japanese we infused her ceremony and cocktail hour with the rich sound of a Koto Harp

Maya wanted an elegant wedding with a casual  rustic feel.  To create this we brought in wood tables and created naturally flowing table scapes using candles and white florals in  different shapes and sized containers that ran down the middle of each table.  We incorporated the beach by accenting each centerpiece with coral, seashells and sand.  We also incorporated Maya's love of horses by using old horseshoes as table numbers. In addition, Holly and Becky accented the head table and fireplace with ceramic and glass horse heads. Keeping with the rustic, casual feel we also used multi sized lanterns with florals.

Because the beach brings out the child in all of us when we happened upon these wonderful towels  wrapped like lollipops we decided to place them inside sandboxes and use them as both escort cards and party favors.

Maya's mom brought some great Japanese candy to the party which we used on the cake table to create a dessert bar.
