Nantucket Weddings Unveiled

Nantucket weddings, in general, have their last dance shortly after 10pm. It’s the rules! So put some thought into not only your last dance but your get away. Many of your guests will be there till the end so work in a little something festive and fun for you and your guests to send you on your way. Sparklers are always popular and make for a wonderful photo-op.

How do you want to end the night with your guests?

We all know our ‘friend’ Earl is heading up the coast and plans to visit us here in Nantucket.  With wedding nuptials this weekend, couples are turning to their vendors for guidance, reassurance, and to put that Plan B in to action.  For all of you who have weddings coming up in the next few weeks, this serves as a good reminder that it is always better to have a plan b in place (and hopefully not have to use it) than to be scrambling around at the last minute figuring things out.  Watch this clip as one Nantucket bride talks about her weekend plans, and see how the island’s vendors are handling Earl’s arrival.

P.s. – they say stormy weather is good for a marriage.  It certainly gives you great stories to tell for years to come!  Best wishes to all island wedding couples this weekend and their vendors.  Let the spirit of Nantucket shine this weekend!

I am so excited to share with everyone that Brea McDonald Photography is now offering a Photo Fun Booth for our clients!
About two weeks ago we launched our Photo Fun Booth at a Cape Cod wedding…. and lets just say it was a BIG hit!

As you can see the Photo Fun Booth can add a little something “extra” to the after-dinner portion of your evening; with fun props and silly faces the photo booth brings all kinds of guests together! It was  surprising how creative guests got when in the booth! It was impossible for anyone to walk away without a smile on their face.

The Photo Fun Booth is fully manned by one of our photographers to get the best shots possible AND get your guests rockin and rollin with some fun props (the sailors hat was a definite favorite of the night). We can use a standard white backdrop or work in a fabric that compliments your wedding day style. The booth is set up off to the side during your reception/welcome party and open for fun after dinner! A great addition to any fun filled weekend!.

The new Wellwed magazine is rolling out now to a news stand near you.  We are pleased as punch to see so many of our island’s outstanding vendors gracing the pages of the Fall/Winter 2010 issue.  For all of you fall brides who are booking your venues and vendors for your 2011 weddings (and we know you are are out there, our phones are ringing!) be sure to check out the featured wedding of Christine and Marc.  They had their fall nuptials at Sankaty Golf Club and this wedding is chock full of inspirational ideas.
