A Nautical, Classic Wedding at Wychmere Beach Club in Harwich Port, Massachusetts

Erin Howley (27 and a senior marketing specialist) and Dante Capasso (28 and an investment wholesaler) sail around the world—and decided to use their travels as inspiration for their nautical wedding at Wychmere Beach Club in Harwich Port, Massachusetts. "We both wanted a classic, traditional look with a nautical twist," Erin says. Sarah Murray Photography followed the wedding day festivities from the traditional ceremony at Holy Trinity Church in West Harwich, Massachusetts, to the exciting reception overlooking Nantucket Sound. Erin and Dante's sailing adventures directly influenced their wedding decor. "I collect a map and an ornament from each of the places we visit," Erin says. "These mementos were the inspiration for our compass monogram, compass favors, and tables named after the places we had visited." Keeping with the theme, dining tables were dressed with navy tablecloths and white table runners with surrounding white chiavari chairs. Adding to the nautical decor, Fancy Flowers by Meredith created beautiful arrangements using ivory, blush and green ranunculus and hydrangeas. "I loved my flowers," Erin says. "Meredith understood my vision and made it come to life." Staying true to their adventurous personalities, Erin and Dante entered their reception on a sailboat! "We wanted our day to be fun, about us as a couple and all around exciting and enjoyable for everyone attending," Erin says.
