Last night’s seating chart install is a forever fav 💙

With views of the harbor following guests from the ceremony to cocktail hour and into the reception, every detail was designed to feel right at home by the water. The personalized sailboat detailing, complete with their wedding date, felt especially perfect displayed against the real sailboats just beyond it.

A seating chart that didn’t just direct guests to their tables, but truly belonged in the setting. ⛵️

Okay, this one made me smile. 💗

Swipe for the kindest words and then keep swiping for the pretty details.

Because as much as I love a wedding that looks beautiful, the experience behind it matters just as much. Feeling supported. Having someone thinking about the big picture and the tiny details. And being able to actually enjoy all of the things you spent so much time dreaming up.

Also yes, I will absolutely be rereading this review whenever I’m having a day. 😂 thank you Nikola Francis 💗

One year later and this one is still so special to me. 🤍

Taylor is quite literally sunshine in human form, and from the very beginning she trusted me with every idea, every detail and every slightly crazy thing I wanted to create. Getting to weave their boys into the day through the bar signage, custom drink stirrers and all those little personal touches made it even more special.

And truthfully, this is one of those weddings where I remember thinking: I didn’t plan this wedding, but I wish I did.

Not because anything was missing, but because I loved this couple, their vision and the process so much that I wanted to be involved in more of it. I wanted to help make the decisions that came before the details. To connect the design, the logistics, the vendors and the guest experience instead of stepping in for just one piece of the puzzle.

Weddings like this were a huge part of what pushed Something Borrowed to evolve into what it is today: planning, design and branding all working together under one roof.

Forever grateful for couples who trusted me before I even fully knew where this business was headed. And forever obsessed with this sweet, coastal, blue-and-white day. 🩵

Happy one year, Taylor + Terry!

Since you all loved the Rhode Island venue post so much, it felt only fair to give Massachusetts its turn. 🤍

This list is definitely a little shorter, Rhode Island is our home base and where we spend most of our wedding weekends, but there are some Massachusetts venues I’ve really loved working at for completely different reasons.

From Cape Cod and coastal properties to gardens, private estates, and my two personal Boston favorites, each one offers a really different experience.

And that’s always what I’m looking at when I think about venues — not just whether it’s pretty, but how it feels, how guests move through it, what it gives us from a design perspective, and what kind of wedding it naturally lends itself to.

No rankings. Just places I’d happily go back to. 🤍

And if you’re still venue hunting, that can be part of planning with us too. We can help narrow the options, think through the logistics, and find the space that actually fits the wedding you want to create.

After working at so many Rhode Island venues over the years, I’ve learned that the “right” one really depends on the experience you want to create.

Some are blank canvases. Some bring all the personality. Some feel private and tucked away. Others put you right in the middle of Newport.

So instead of ranking them, I’m sharing a few I love working at and what I think each one does especially well.

Your venue impacts so much more than the backdrop, it shapes the guest count, design, flow, logistics and overall feel of the day.

And if you’re still looking, venue sourcing can be part of the planning process with us too.

Wedding math is fun…said no one ever.

This table from our branding shoot seats eight people and comes in at just over $2,300…before delivery, setup, breakdown, taxes, service fees, or design fees.

I wanted to share the actual numbers because I know one of the biggest conversations in the wedding industry right now is around wanting more transparency and how else will you know unless someone tells you?!

From the outside, it can be really hard to understand why things cost what they do when all you’re seeing is the finished result.

Most of these choices sound completely reasonable individually.

A $3.25 napkin.
A $4.50 plate.
A $10 placemat.
A $34 chair (this one was a tough pill to swallow, but look how gorgeous they are?!)

Where it adds up fast is that weddings are essentially the art of multiplying seemingly harmless numbers by an average of 150.

Then add the linen, the florals, the candlelight, the paper goods, the glassware, the flatware… suddenly one table becomes a much bigger number than most people expect.

So in the spirit of shedding a little more light on it, I wanted to break this one down.

Not because every wedding table needs to cost this much and not because good design means upgrading every single detail (which admittedly we did here).

But because understanding where the money actually goes makes it so much easier to make thoughtful decisions about where to simplify, where to splurge, and what will make the biggest impact overall.

A huge part of our job is helping clients prioritize so the budget is working hard in the places that matter most.

Because a beautiful wedding isn’t about spending the most.

It’s about spending with intention.
