If you’re looking for perfect pink wedding inspiration, you have found it! Stephanie and Ben’s beautiful wedding at his grandparent’s home on the water was the perfect mix of fun, romantic, intimate, and pink! The classic blush details throughout the bouquets and ceremony decor tied straight into the romantic pops of pink at their reception.
Stephanie and Ben originally planned to have their wedding day at a larger venue. They downsized their wedding to a more intimate affair during the pandemic, and it was the perfect day. Everything worked out seamlessly and beautifully! I love that it became so personal to the couple, and that they were able to have their dream wedding day after all. They had the perfect private spaces for both their ceremony and reception.
Their ceremony was held at Ben’s grandparents’ house on the water with a private dock. It was the perfect setting for their backyard wedding. After their ceremony, we got to continue the party at his aunt’s house just a few minutes away for their reception. The backyard was decorated so beautifully with pink linens, blush florals, gold accents, and string lighting, that you couldn’t even tell it was a backyard! It looked like the perfect private garden to have their wedding celebration.
One of my favorite moments from their wedding day was Stephanie and Ben’s first look! This is always one of my favorite moments on wedding days, but this one takes the cake because the first thing Ben did was give her a big kiss! It was so adorable, and the perfect way for them to start their wedding day together.
At their reception they had delicious and unique catering! It was so fun to see something different at a wedding reception for guests to enjoy. They had sushi at cocktail hour, and even had a platter waiting for them right after bride and groom portraits. This was such a fun and unique twist on their reception, and it made it so personal to them!
Stephanie and Ben are such a sweet couple, and I have loved getting to know them and capture their beautiful wedding day!
