With winter just around the corner lets take another look at fall…

Hi everyone!  We hope you had a great holiday weekend.  We know couples are in full swing planning for their 2011 nuptials.  You’re in luck because Boston Weddings Spring/Summer 2011 issue just hit the stands and there are some incredible ideas throughout the pages.

In fact, there is a real wedding done by some of Nantucket’s finest vendors!  They took the show on the road – led by Unique Nantucket Events, along with Brea McDonald Photography and Soiree Floral & Event Design.  Paul and Kerry were married on the Cape and the magazine covers all the fun details.  The couple’s beloved dog was even included in all the fun.  For all the details, be sure to pick up your copy of the magazine today!

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?

Being that Nantucket is an old school whaling town there is a ton of history in the island air. From the Nantucket baskets, wooden sailboats and all the vintage pieces you can really feel as if you are stepping back in time. We thought we would honor this history with a simple inspiration board that ties it all together. You can have that vintage island feeling at your wedding by adding in a splash here and there.

Blue sky fall day for this Nantucket wedding!

We ALL love wedding cake but more and more couples are opting for a little something extra for dessert at their weddings. Candy buffets, chocolates and cupcakes have all been seen in 2010 but what about adding in an all time favorite fall dessert … perhaps caramel apples?
