The magic of Nantucket enchants in this coastal wedding

Whimsical chapel ceremony

Three years before their stunning Nantucket nuptials, Fallon and Riley fell in love exploring the island over morning bike rides on Cliff, rainy day walks in town, and nightcap espresso martinis at Lola 41. The couple's wedding day was inspired by the indescribable magic the island exudes - featuring a warm and romantic color palette inspired by the local sights.

Visiting Nantucket was the first summer vacation Riley and Fallon spent together, where they fell in love with every aspect of the island! They knew the closest they could come to "bottling up" the magic of the town would be to begin their lives as man and wife there.

We love how these delicate florals by Flowers on Chestnut adorned the space! The bride had this to say on the dreamy colors they chose for the reception design:

“The day was painted with the colors of the island, which inspired the palette of the wedding – warm beige like the sand, grey like the fog rolling in in the morning, blush like the summer sunsets, and pearl white like the inside of an oyster. It was the perfect day, and our incredible photographer Charlotte Jenks Lewis bottled it up just beautifully.”
