A full weekend of classic, New England celebrations was the only way to celebrate these Labor Day nuptials, from the clam bake rehearsal dinner to the cocktail hour featuring an epic raw bar.

Taking cues from the bride’s French roots, “c’est la fête” (or “it’s a party”) was the inspiration behind this wedding nestled in a beautiful courtyard of downtown Boston. Bringing a sense of European elegance to every detail, the wedding design included a stunning glass tent, twinkling bistro lights, and fresh floral installments at every turn. The result was the perfect late summer celebration set within a garden oasis in the heart of the city.

There’s nothing more romantic than wintertime in the city, and Mike and Adria’s wedding day proves that notion beautifully. They envisioned a December celebration set between Christmas and New Year’s and set out to gather their loved ones for an evening of glamour and elegance in the heart of downtown Boston.
