I love the ocean. I’m certain I was meant to live near the water, despite growing up in land-locked South Dakota. With my husband being from Connecticut I have grown very fond of New England, so when our good friends Chris and Andrea decided to get married in Newport, RI, I jumped at the chance to help them plan their destination wedding! They celebrated with about 100 of their friends and family on a beautiful day along the water on Goat Island. The day featured soft, romantic florals, a rocking dance party and a ridiculously happy couple. Hope these two are enjoying their first anniversary today!
