Romantic Spring Wedding at Mallard Island Yacht Club | Ashley & Anthony

Ashley and Anthony are married!!!! This spring, they hosted a super romantic wedding day at Mallard Island – and I loved every moment of it! Ashley and Anthony leaned into the soft pastel color palette of the season for their wedding day – and while it was all elegant and romantic, their wedding was also just so much fun! Those are the best kind of weddings, if you ask me! 

Romantic Wedding at Mallard Island Yacht Club

When I arrived, I was so happy to see Ashley enjoying the morning with her bridesmaids in the beautiful suite at Mallard Island. I couldn’t wait to unpack her details – and they were all so gorgeous! I loved the blush pink everywhere and their invitation suite was perfect, with watercolor flowers around the edges. Just the right look for a Spring wedding day! Ashley finished getting ready in her incredible Nicole Milano gown, which was actually two pieces! It had a bodysuit with sleeves and then the skirt went over it. It was so unique, and she looked amazing in it!! When she was ready, she met Anthony for a first look at Mallard Island’s chapel. He was definitely in awe of his beautiful bride – and it was the sweetest thing to watch!!! 

Before their ceremony, we were able to knock out some of their wedding day portraits – including those with their fun wedding party. Everyone was amazing and we even had a “soul train” moment with them, which made photos SO fun! It was hilarious and I loved that they were all up for it.  

Ashley and Anthony held their ceremony in the chapel, too – with gorgeous spring flowers all around the stone fireplace. The combination of pale yellow, peach, pink, and white was stunning against all of the white and gray in the space! Speaking of fun moments, Ashley’s brother was their “flower guy”! He was hilarious and totally showed up for them – tossing petals and airplane shots to the guests. It was FANTASTIC! The rest of the night was spent partying out on the dance floor during their reception. More spring flowers filled the tables, along with some really cool mirrored signs to welcome everyone to the party. 

Congratulations again, Ashley and Anthony! Your Spring wedding was like a fairytale and I am so happy you had the chance to celebrate with those you love. It was a great party – and a beautiful day. I’m so happy for you both!!
