Many little girls dream of their wedding day and there is nothing more satisfying to us then bringing that dream to life. This past weekend we had the honor of doing so for Stefania Palladino. Stefania and Justin, high school sweethearts, were married September 26th at Nauticus Marina on a gorgeous fall day with the sun shining and a gentle breeze coming up from the water.Their tent, provided by Sperry Tents, was positioned at the edge of the lawn overlooking the gorgeous marina filled with boats, and the lighthouse provided the perfect backdrop for the cocktail hour filled with guests milling around the property.

Stefania’s dream included a gorgeous gold and white themed event where no attention to detail was spared. Her linens, a Natural Botela fabric, that is actually made from recycled bottles, set the tone for the tablescape which included gold rimmed china and crystal glassware, gold flatware, and etched gold votives. Lilacs provided flowers in a mixture of white orchids, hydrangeas, and roses all arranged in crystal glass.

The guests dined on scrumptious hors d’oeuvres that included garlic rubbed lamb chops and warmed goat cheese toasts with rosemary, walnuts & honey.They were also treated to an elaborate cheese table and raw bar.

For dinner, the bride and groom selected a four-course meal that started with a Caprese salad and moved on to a traditional risotto course to highlight the bride’s Italian heritage.For the entrée, they enjoyed a traditional Cape Cod ‘Surf and Turf’ with Beef Tenderloin and Lobster Tails.

For the Grand Finale, Stefania’s dream also included an elaborate five-tier wedding cake filled with lobster cream and decorated in gold leaf paint with her new monogram as the centerpiece of the cake.Guests were amazed by the detail of the cake and our pastry chefs did an excellent job fulfilling this part of Stefania’s dream.A candy bar and Viennese table completed the meal.

We were truly honored to have been a part of creating Stefania’s dream wedding, but the dream was truly realized when Stefania and Justin met and fell in love.Stefania, Justin and both of their families were wonderful to work with during the entire planning process and we wish them a lifetime of happiness together.
