Ari and Tyler’s Whimsical Seaview Wedding
Reflecting on Ari and Tyler’s wedding this past June, I can’t help but smile at how beautifully everything came together. Hosted at the stunning Seaview Meadow, their celebration was a harmonious blend of nature-inspired elegance and playful whimsy.
From the start, their vision was clear: they wanted a day deeply rooted in nature, reflecting their love for organic textures, light neutrals, and clean Scandinavian-inspired lines. But they also craved moments of fun and vibrancy, brought to life with whimsical accents and pops of color that felt joyful and unexpected.
A Design That Harmonized with Nature
Ari and Tyler’s wedding design embraced soft whites, light woods, and natural textures, complemented by accents of sage, lavender, and blush pink. To add playfulness, we incorporated vibrant bursts of color in the florals—wildflowers, dahlias, peonies, ranunculus, and lilies—creating a lively, meadow-inspired aesthetic.
These thoughtful touches extended to the earthy materials we used, like linen tablecloths, woven details, and modern Scandinavian-inspired elements. Every design choice was intentional, ensuring it felt grounded in the natural beauty of Seaview Meadow.
Personal Style Meets Playful Details
Ari’s bouquet was a true reflection of her style: natural and organic with just the right touch of funk. It blended artistic textures with effortless beauty, capturing her appreciation for the artistry of floral design. Her wedding dress, a mix of timeless, fun, and flirty elements, paired perfectly with Tyler’s bold green suit, which added a playful yet sophisticated touch to the day.
Their guests embraced the couple’s love of fashion, arriving in stunning outfits that added to the vibrant atmosphere.
The Bear and the Mermaid: A Whimsical Theme
One of the most charming elements of the day was the couple’s playful theme, “The Bear and the Mermaid.” This whimsical touch appeared throughout the wedding, starting with custom save-the-dates and invitations designed by a talented friend. The theme carried through to the bar menu, dinner menu, and welcome sign, tying the entire event together with a sense of fun and personality.
We partnered with Rose and Wrench to bring these designs to life. The signage was playful yet sophisticated, reflecting Ari and Tyler’s lighthearted spirit while adding an inviting warmth to the event.
A Heartfelt Polish Blessing
A standout moment of the evening was the Polish blessing offered by Ari’s mother and grandmother at the dinner reception. With bread, salt, and vodka in hand, they shared heartfelt wishes for the couple:
Bread to ensure they never know hunger.
Salt to symbolize the strength to overcome life’s challenges.
Vodka to toast a life filled with joy and celebration.
This beautiful tradition added a deeply personal and meaningful touch to the evening.
A Celebration Rooted in Love and Playfulness
From the thoughtful design details to the energy of their closest family and friends, Ari and Tyler’s wedding was a true celebration of their love for nature, each other, and life itself. It was earthy, fun, and heartfelt—a perfect reflection of who they are as a couple.
Being part of their day and helping bring their vision to life was an honor I’ll always treasure. Ari and Tyler’s wedding reminded me of the beauty of intentional design, playful personalities, and the power of love to create unforgettable memories.
Here’s to “The Bear and the Mermaid”—may their story continue to unfold with joy and adventure.
