Real Weddings: Tory + Alex

While planning their destination wedding, Tory and Alex were graduating college and in the process of relocating… talk about a lot going on! The couple chose Newport, Rhode Island as their wedding destination because as a young girl Tory, who is from Boston, would visit Newport with her parents and always imagined herself married there, by the ocean.  Enlisting the help of Stephanie Frazier-Grimm of Couture Parties, they planned a whirlwind weekend of activities including a wine and beer tasting, bridal luncheon, welcome party, rehearsal dinner, and a post-wedding brunch!  The wedding at Belle Mer was all about organic chic – calla lilies, birch, and a gorgeous gray and white color palette to complement the elegant ballroom.  I love the simple elegance of the event and all of the beautiful images from Armor & Martel!
