Baywood Wedding

From the bride: I am from Delaware, so I wanted to have a wedding close to where I grew up. I had come to Baywood (the wedding venue) as a kid for Easter Sunday and other events and always loved the elegance of the gardens.

We played off the gardens and summertime theme to incorporate blues and Pampas Grass into the decor.

We had a nondenominational wedding ceremony. However, my husband is Jewish, so we incorporated a few of his favorite Jewish traditions such as Breaking of the Glass.

I am not a DIY girl. Thankfully I had the wonderful staff of Baywood Weddings to manage and point me in the right direction when it came to those small details.

Our big focus on the decor was the flowers. We worked with Baywood Weddings florist to design the summer garden vibe I always envisioned.

The floral design was everything for our wedding. It hung around the arbor, at the entrance to the tent, and was the main design element on the tables. We had greenery accent pieces incorporated into the place settings and on a few of the rows for the ceremony.

We had a DJ who was absolutely incredible. I love to dance so we spent a lot of time with the DJ upfront discussing the vibes and types of songs we wanted played at different points in the night. We even manufactured a timeline to maximize the time spent on the dance floor. Everyone had a blast! We got rave reviews from the guests.

I am a minimalist, so I always knew I wanted something simple as far as my dress went. I fell in love with my dress designer not only for the design but due to the silk crepe fabric she uses. Rob custom-designed his suit. He loves color so wanted a bold blue that would stand out.

My favorite moment was the first look! That intimate moment when you first see the person you are about to commit to for the rest of your life is something you will never forget. The amount of love being shared between just the two of us with no one else around was really special.
