Real Wedding: Copley and David

by Nina on January 24, 2012

I’m super excited to share this wedding with you, and not because it’s gloomy and gray in Boston, and this wedding is anything but… but that certainly helps.

My beautiful friend Copley and her handsome, charming husband, David’s married last October at a beautiful church ceremony in the perfection of Palm Beach in front of their closest family and friends.

Copley is the perfect combination of class-act and gooftastic. The girl could find herself to a good time in a paper bag. She’s just that awesome. So I had no doubt that this wedding would be a fantastically fun, and classy affair.

The couple welcomed guests to an amazing party the night before the wedding at the society of the four arts sculpture garden. Stations filled with sliders, seafood, and a decadent table of desserts including mini whoopie pies and cute little cake pops.

The next day, trolleys chauffeured guests to a beautiful church ceremony, and the amazing photographer, Richard Graulich captured the day beautifully.

Check out that beautiful bride, and her stunning bridesmaids…

From the bride: When David and I discussed our vision for the big day, we both agreed that the most important thing was to make sure all of our guests had a fabulous, unforgettable time. To that end, we added little touches like an old-fashioned photo booth, a candy buffet, and buckets of black and white flip flops for dancing.

good looking group…

And while they were taking pictures, this amazing cocktail party and ocean-side reception was waiting at The Beach Club, in Palm Beach. This was the cocktail party to end all cocktail parties. Signature cocktails, a full raw bar, and a beautiful ocean-side setting greeted guests.

From the bride: There were so many highs over the course of the day and night, but one of my favorite moments was watching all the guests arrive at sunset during cocktail hour while the tunes of a steel drum were carried over us by the ocean breeze. We were very grateful when the photographer stole us away from the fray a few times and we were able to have a private moment to take it all in.

Not only was Copley’s beautiful sister her MOH, but she also contributed beautiful details like hand-painted table markers on pieces of driftwood and seat assignments on an old weathered window.

Wouldn’t you want to be at THIS wedding? Come on.

Yes. You would.

Between the band and the photobooth, and the amazing, amazing food, and dancing.

From the bride: Though David might say his favorite part was watching me walk toward him down the aisle or not tripping on my dress during the first dance, I’m pretty sure the true highlight for him was getting hoisted into the air by his groomsmen and tossed into the pool.


From the bride: My advice to future brides is to take surprises in stride and to not sweat the small stuff. When it’s all over, you will have some great stories and you’ll be happy you didn’t let a few flubs overshadow your wonderful wedding memories.
