Anita + Carlton were married on July 7th, at Belle Mer in Newport, Rhode Island

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since this modern summer wedding in Newport and (hello COVID) so much has changed. Between assisting our spring couples with postponements and easing the minds of our 2021 weddings, we can’t help but wish we were back in Newport eating gigantic lobster rolls and sipping on Del’s Lemonade. Planning from afar always comes with challenges, but working with this DC couple came easy and a way to work out wedding jitters throughout the planning process via monthly check-ins. There we were able to expand on their luscious florals, to their awesome band we chose, and even creating a balanced indoor and outdoor guest experience with bistro lights, fire pits, and local Rhode Island flair.
