Wentworth by the SeaCountry Club Summer Wedding
The culmination of a weekend filled with love, laughter, connection, and a lifetime of memories in the making.
Stephanie and Jake’s wedding day was the epitome of classic, romantic, and timeless. The design incorporated soft linen & velvet textures, handmade paper, a cream, white and blush color palette, elegant fonts with touches of gold, and romantic draping and ribbon detail.
"From the start of the planning process to their execution on our wedding day, Lia went above and beyond to ensure our tented, seacoast wedding was exactly what we envisioned! Lia listened to what was important to us and incorporated personal details that did not go unnoticed. My husband’s love for golf, my love for guest hospitality, and design elements like frosted glass signage and heirloom matte china that looked and felt like it was graced by the salt of the sea."

Coastal bliss at Wentworth by the Sea, where Rebecca and Jack thoughtfully layered personal traditions throughout their celebration.
A custom illustration of their family sailboat appeared on their stationery and served as the location for their first look, making the moment even more meaningful. A separate nod to Bermuda, where they’ve shared so many special memories together, came through their signature cocktail.
Rebecca’s favorite color, pink, subtly carried throughout the design. While candlelight across the tables remained classic white, we intentionally placed a single pink taper at the head table in honor of Jack’s late mother, who also loved the color pink.
A celebration filled with heart, memory, and intention, and one we’ll remember forever.

An early October tablescape that beautifully blended the quiet tones of fall with the textures of the coast. Faded hydrangeas, rattan details, and scalloped linens layered together for a look that felt soft, natural, and timeless.
