A recent feature in the popular online wedding magazine Wedding Chicks showcases an extraordinary event: Meghan and Anthony’s wedding on the picturesque island of Martha’s Vineyard, set against a big storm, Hurricane Lee. Meghan, an experienced wedding planner, envisioned her special day in this stunning location, wearing an exquisite mermaid-style gown with floral embellishments from Daalarna’s BUDAPEST collection.
Preparing for the Hurricane Threat
When Hurricane Lee approached Martha’s Vineyard, Meghan and Anthony made the brave decision not to postpone their wedding but to proceed as planned. Having guided many of Meghan’s clients through unexpected challenges in the past, Meghan now faced a similar test herself. Despite the impending storm, family and friends traveled to the island to show their support, making the wedding a testament to the couple’s resilience and the strong bonds with their loved ones. Miraculously, the storm held off until the day after the wedding, allowing the couple to say their vows on a serene day that ended with a spectacular sunset—a magical backdrop to their celebration.
The Location
The couple’s choice of venue held deep personal significance; they had one of their first dates nine years prior at the Farm Neck Golf Club on Martha’s Vineyard. This meaningful connection drew them back to the island to celebrate their marriage in a setting that felt both intimate and familiar, paying tribute to a place that was pivotal in their relationship.
Fashion Throughout
Meghan wore a distinctive floral-patterned gown (BDP 204) from Daalarna’s previous BUDAPEST collection. The dress featured intricate 3D floral appliqués on the bodice paired with a sleek, minimalist skirt.
Anthony’s suit was completed with custom cufflinks bearing the likeness of their golden retriever, who, although not present, was close to their hearts.
A Play of Colors
Bold colors were a defining feature of the wedding, reflecting the couple’s personalities and unique style. A close friend of the bride, who also served as the floral designer, created vibrant arrangements that enlivened the venue. The decorator harmonized an array of shades to form a cohesive and playful color scheme throughout the celebration.
The wedding cake was another standout element, adorned with edible pressed flowers in various hues. This elegant dessert complemented the vibrant theme and added an artistic touch to the event’s overall aesthetic.
Celebrating Sustainability
Sustainability, central to Meghan’s career, played a key role in the wedding planning. Eco-friendly solutions included minimizing single-use plastics, selecting locally sourced flowers, and collaborating with sustainable brands for environmentally conscious dresses. The menu featured seasonal, local ingredients—including the island’s seafood—to minimize the event’s environmental footprint.
Ultimately, Meghan and Anthony’s wedding on Martha’s Vineyard was more than a celebration of their love – it was a reflection of their shared values and cherished relationships. Supported by friends, family, and colleagues, they created a memorable day that seamlessly blended their love story, bold colors, and commitment to sustainability, forming cherished memories as they embarked on their new life together on a serene and perfect day.
