Married in Osterville ✨
Cape Cod has always been home to Justin. It didn’t take long for Eleanor to fall in love with it, too.
Their wedding celebrated everything they love about the Cape, but with a twist. Rather than leaning into the expected, we infused the design with personality, thoughtful details, and a fresh perspective that felt uniquely theirs. The result was a celebration that honored the place that brought them together while telling their story in a way that was timeless, elevated, and completely unforgettable.
Proof that coastal design can be anything but ordinary. 🤍

Some places become part of your story long before they become the backdrop to your wedding day.
For Jaime, New Hampshire has always been that place. Growing up, it was where her family escaped the pace of everyday life to slow down, disconnect from the world, and reconnect with one another. It only felt fitting that she and Dalton would begin this next chapter surrounded by those same values at The Lake Estate on Winnesquam.
What made this weekend so memorable wasn’t just the breathtaking setting. It was the Greenwood family. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine joy were felt by every single person there. They welcomed our team and each creative partner as if we’d been part of the family all along, and that kind of hospitality is something that never goes unnoticed.
The design reflected that same spirit. Colorful, joyful, whimsical, and inspired by the feeling of wildflowers growing naturally across a New Hampshire summer landscape. Every detail felt vibrant, organic, and full of life—just like Jaime and Dalton.
Weekends like these are why we love what we do. Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Greenwood.
