July 14, 2025

The excitement is starting early for Marissa and Cole’s waterfront wedding celebration! Get a sneak peak at the festivities with a glance into their beautiful welcome dinner. As if the view of the Miles River isn’t gorgeous enough, Marissa, in a gorgeous white reception dress, and Cole, styling a very handsome blue-gray suit, welcomed their guests a day early with an intimate dinner on the lawn, with delicious food from Peachblossoms Events, and sunset views to die for. We are obsessed with this family style dinner table, bringing everyone together in a moment of appreciation and gratitude for the excitement to come, and it’s just the icing on the cake that the entire table is all dolled up with beautiful blooms from J Starrs Flower Barn! If the night before is already this good, we can’t even imagine how lovely the ceremony and reception will be! Keep dreaming until then, and enjoy these snippets in the meantime!
