Intimate Elopement at Ships Of The Sea

Real Weddings

April 26, 2022

Allie and James originally planned a big wedding but chose to keep it small and intimate when the pandemic hit like so many couples did. Even though they had a smaller guest count, they kept their original design the same. The two loved Ships Of The Sea and chose the venue’s elopement package for their ceremony.

Their ceremony took place in the garden and had a beautiful floral aisle that was so unique. The garden was so beautiful, so all they needed were two pillars with floral arrangements to set it apart. Gold Chiavari chairs were placed on either side for their 15 guests. As the sun started to set, the evening glow added such an intimate feel!

A Colorful Cocktail Hour Lounge

To make their cocktail hour special, they used a few of our pieces to create a colorful lounge that brought in fall colors. The Sunnie Settee was flanked with our Katherine Chairs on either side, and we loved how they used both the gold and burgundy together. The Gemma Coffee Table added a touch of antique gold glamour, and they accented it with vintage books.

Lounges offer more than just seating on your wedding day! They make for great portraits and really let your guests relax and enjoy the area. You can also center them around important areas, like the dance floor, for additional seating. Allie and James wanted their guests to enjoy cocktail hour together, and the lounge added a pop of color and comfortable seating.

After drinks to celebrate, guests headed to Olde Pink House for their reception dinner. Guests enjoyed a delicious dinner with soft candlelight all evening. Their entry table continued the vintage theme, with a typewriter, vintage tan suitcase, and more vintage books.

While we are known for our vintage furniture, we have a large variety of decor pieces as well! From trunks and suitcases to tabletop rentals, we have it all! We love to work with our clients and their planners to mix and match our inventory to create a one-of-a-kind look. Reach out today, and let’s design your dream wedding or elopement!
