Madison and Tim’s wedding weekend at Rehoboth Beach Country Club combined relaxed coastal charm with a refined, classic twist that felt straight out of a Nancy Meyers film. The ceremony took place on the 19th hole’s lawn, framed by a floral half moon and rattan compotes lining the aisle, all overlooking the serene Rehoboth Bay. This quiet moment, just before saying their vows, was wrapped in soft navy and light blue tones with touches of green, colors that carried through every detail of the celebration.
The couple’s story began years earlier during a summer NCAA lacrosse program in Japan back in 2016. They met there, connected over mutual friends, and only started dating three years later at a party in Washington, D.C. Tim proposed at the Delaware beach where they spend summers, a place that holds special meaning for both. Their wedding reflected this blend of personal history and coastal ease.
The design for the weekend came together with help from A Sweet Affair Weddings & Events. Madison and Tim wanted something that felt like “Nancy Meyers meets Serena & Lily,” with a relaxed beach aesthetic softened by elegant, whimsical floral patterns. The florals leaned on white hydrangeas, garden roses, and blue delphinium. Wicker and rattan furniture and accents gave the event a tactile coastal feel, while custom watercolor stationery by Laura Adison Designs added playful, artistic touches.
The rehearsal dinner was at Sazio Rehoboth, a local spot where family and the wedding party shared toasts and open mic speeches. Before the ceremony, portraits were taken along North Surf Avenue, a quiet, scenic street by the water. Then, as the sun dipped low on the wedding day, guests moved from the ceremony lawn to the clubhouse balcony for cocktail hour. The rattan bar and a wallpapered escort card wall greeted them, alongside custom cups, napkins, and even matchboxes designed to match the coastal theme.
Inside the reception ballroom, linens from Stradley Davidson Linen Collective mixed with rattan chargers and table lamps. The long head table was set with white and green florals that echoed the ceremony’s palette. The band stage backdrop used the same Serena & Lily wallpaper as the escort wall, tying the space together with subtle repetition. The couple slipped away for golden hour portraits along the waterfront before returning for an evening full of dancing. Madison changed into a fresh bridal outfit by Staud, adding a lively twist to the celebration.
Madison’s wedding gown was from Martina Liana Bridal, found through Elegance by Roya. It featured a textured floral embossing and an A-line silhouette with a full skirt and train. The off-the-shoulder cowl neckline added a modern touch. She paired it with woven white Jimmy Choo slingback heels and a cathedral-length veil. Bridesmaids wore their own unique blue and white patterned dresses from designers like Cara Cara and Agua by Agua Bendita, keeping the look cohesive but varied. Tim and his groomsmen were in tuxedos by State & Liberty; the groom’s navy blue jacket had black accents and lapels, while the groomsmen went classic black and white.
Food and drink reflected the coastal theme too. Guests were handed two signature cocktails during the celebration: an orange and grapefruit crush, a nod to the local Rehoboth Beach flavor, and an old fashioned. These were served on Ballard Designs trays, which kept with the laid-back but polished vibe.
Carolina Sugar Fairy baked the wedding cake. It was a simple two-tier white cake, decorated with delicate white florals. The couple cut the cake quietly in a corner of the ballroom, tucked away from the main party.
The weekend felt like a carefully balanced mix of traditional and relaxed. Floral half moons and rattan compotes gave the ceremony a whimsical, natural look, while the ballroom’s textured linens and custom wallpaper kept the reception elegant. The use of familiar coastal materials, wicker, rattan, watercolor paper, made the entire event feel connected to place without feeling forced or overly styled.
Madison and Tim’s choice to blend classic sophistication with beachy comfort created a wedding that looked great in photos and felt easy for their guests. It’s the kind of day that reads as both polished and welcoming: a quiet nod to the coastal grandmother aesthetic with enough personal touches to keep it feeling fresh.
