A Seaside Celebration: Cathy & Matt's Newport Wedding at Belle Mer
The sky over Newport Harbor painted a perfect backdrop for Cathy and Matt's elegant celebration at Belle Mer.
With the Pell Bridge twinkling in the distance and sailboats gliding past, their wedding day unfolded with the kind of natural grace that makes Belle Mer such a sought-after venue.
Could there be a more beautiful spot for a wedding? Methinks not.
Cathy and Matt were technically married during covid, but chose Belle Mer in Newport to celebrate with a beautiful reception for all of their family and friends. I love watching guests arrive at Belle Mer... they walk through the gates and inevitably gasp at the stunning view and grounds. Every time. It’s exactly how you, as host, want your guests to feel: like they are being treated to a really special, elegant, and unique experience. Cathy and Matt are an incredibly fun couple, they love to laugh and have a great time, and they truly appreciate their people.
Cathy had two exquisit gowns, the first had a mermaid shape, long sleeves and lace detailing, and the second, loose flowing tulle. Totally different looks but equally stunning.
The reception transformed Belle Mer's Water Salon into a modern celebration of coastal elegance. Long tables draped in white linen hosted intimate conversations while Newport's golden hour streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Everyone, from 90 year-old grandparents to friends and little neices and nephews. Everyone had a blast thanks to Valentina (the absolute best!). Myself included!
Here are a few favs….!
