An Ocean City Wedding Weekend

September 2, 2025

Our mermaid hearts are so happy! We just had to squeeze in one last moment of summer before we accept that it’s September, and this wedding is bringing us right back to the beach!

Family and friends surrounded Lanae and Andrew with joy and love as they came together in marriage with a truly tropical weekend. Bringing the celebration to the sand with coastal hues of blue, pops of coral and peach, and this crew seriously knows how to party. Even the stationary set the stage for the nautical nuptials with waves rolling in to give a mermaid greeting to guests as soon as they opened their invitation.

Our favorite has got to be the way that Alison to the Altar seamlessly transformed Ashore Resort and Beach Club into a wedding paradise. Visiting Ashore already feels like an island getaway, and when you add in the tropical florals beaming and colorful details, and we’re basically on vacation right now.

My journey with My Eastern Shore Wedding began back in my high school and college years as a creative intern, where I absolutely fell in love with the boundless creativity the wedding industry offers. Over the years, I moved into roles as a community manager and Media Director, and each position deepened my appreciation for the artistry and joy that weddings bring. Now, as the Owner and Editor in Chief, I feel so honored to keep celebrating the beauty of the Eastern Shore, both as my home and as a stunning wedding venue. It's a joy to inspire others as they plan their dream days. For me, the true beauty of this work lies in being part of those moments of pure happiness and helping create lasting memories for couples on their special day.
