{Nautical New Jersey Wedding} Candyce & Tom

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

Cue the confetti!  After a year of featuring beautiful real weddings here, I am jumping with joy to feature the very first New Jersey wedding.  Not only a New Jersey wedding, a Hoboken couple's wedding AND the ceremony in Hoboken!  It's just so exciting.  But I think you'll quickly agree that no matter where you live, there is something to love about this special wedding.  Jamie Bodo Photography shows us the beauty:  

Candyce & Tom got married on the bright, sunny day of September 15, 2012 in New Jersey.  As a nod to the Groom being a sailor for Sandy Hook, the Hoboken couple infused their wedding with thoughtful nautical details, from the boutonnieres to the escort cards to the centerpieces.  

The Bride & her bridesmaids got ready at the her parent's home in Middletown.  The Bride donned a unique, elegant Lazaro wedding gown & carried a simple, striking bouquet of white calla lilies.

The wedding ceremony was held at the gorgeous, historical Our Lady of Grace Church in Hoboken.  Built in 1876, the stunning, Gothic-style church requires little to no decoration.  The Bride & Groom exchanged vows in front of their families & friends & sealed their union with a big kiss.  Then the happy new Mr. & Mrs. departed their ceremony in a shower of bubbles. 

The celebration continued at the Beacon Hill Country Club in Atlantic Highlands.  The venue provides beautiful views of Sandy Hook & New York City, as well as offering plenty of sweet spots for photos.  The newlyweds dined & danced the wedding day away with their guests during their nautical-themed reception.  All in all, a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple!      

My Favorite Moment: I like the bubble departure from the ceremony- such a light-hearted, fun moment!

My Favorite Detail: I adore the Bride's amazing wedding gown! The frothy bottom of lace & ruffles is just incredible.

Congratulations, Candyce & Tom!
