Marielle and Matt’s Castle Hill Inn wedding in Newport, Rhode Island was a vibrant blend of coastal elegance, bold color, and whimsical design. Set against sweeping views of Narragansett Bay, their celebration was filled with thoughtful details that perfectly reflected their fun-loving personalities and love of the sea.
Marielle stunned in a lace Ines di Santo wedding gown with a removable lace jacket, while her bridesmaids turned heads in blue and white patterned dresses that echoed the ocean hues and the custom cocktail hour linens. Their Castle Hill lighthouse first look and private vows captured the romance and serenity of the Newport coastline before the festivities began.
Under a grand sailcloth tent draped in greenery and twinkling lanterns, guests partied the night away surrounded by cascading florals, soft candlelight, and a disco ball floral installation sparkling above the dance floor. The couple’s signature cocktails – including a French 75, spicy margarita, and the unforgettable “Espresso Matt-tini” – were served as sailboats glided by in the distance. Every element, from the lace-inspired cake with colorful sugar flowers to the floral-filled tablescapes, tied together beautifully for a celebration that felt both luxurious and joyfully personal.
With its panoramic ocean views and timeless coastal charm, Castle Hill Inn was the perfect backdrop for Marielle and Matt’s colorful Newport wedding – a day that was stylish, heartfelt, and truly unforgettable.
