Southern Meets Nantucket
Whitney, who grew up summering on Nantucket, and David, a true Southern gentleman, managed to plan a wedding that seamlessly combined her Northern sensibilities with his Southern traditions. The location — a lighthouse overlooking the ocean and a reception at the marina – was her choice, while the sweet strawberries marching down the center of the guest tables were a nod to his farm upbringing. The most clever compromise? Pairing red velvet cake with Nantucket reds, quintessential elements of the South and New England, respectively! Guests feasted upon confections from the dessert table, where Maine blueberry pie complimented red velvet cake. Both desserts were washed down with Georgia Peach and Maine blueberry beer from the DIY hops bar. The perfect ending to this celebration? A rowboat getaway, where the back of the craft was strung with a sign reading, “We’re wicked in love, y’all!”
