A Blue Beach Wedding at Crystal Point Yacht Club in Point Pleasant, New Jersey

Between the starfish centerpieces and beach-inspired table names, Catie Toto (26 and a nurse) and Brian McNamara (25 and an accountant) filled their traditional wedding with fun elements of the Jersey Shore. Bunches of hydrangeas from CH Floral Designs lined the aisle as the couple started their day with a church ceremony. Each bridesmaid walked in with a short navy dress and bright blue hydrangea bouquet as Catie made her entrance in a tiered, ivory Alvina Valenta wedding dress. After the couple exchanged vows, all ended their night with a sweet reception at Crystal Point Yacht Club. The couple’s florist designed arrangements of sea grass and blue hydrangeas topped with white starfish as each table was named after a fun spot on the beach.The couple’s sweetheart table design even had an overflowing tablescape of seashells and hydrangeas. The reception also included a twist. “Before the meal, we had my brother and maid of honor sing 'Ten Minutes Ago' from Rodgers and Hammerstein's 'Cinderella,' Catie says. A Band Of New York took the stage and kept everyone on the dance floor. All were treated to a piece of five-tier chocolate seashell-accented wedding cake baked by Pastry Chef Bakery, as Catie and Brian sent their guests home with saltwater taffy. Jaye Kogut Photography captured every blue, white and green detail below. For future couples, Catie shares a tip: “Keep it light and have fun. Your smiles are the best decoration.”
