The Reception Decor

While festive Caribbean steel drum music played during cocktail hour, the tables were set with beach-themed centerpieces that were just the thing for the seaside venue. The shells, gathered by the couple during their travels, were arranged on beach sand collected on the shores of the bride’s and groom’s respective home states of New Hampshire and New Jersey.
