Creating the Bridal Party
Lexi and Joe’s Newport wedding was a celebration of two families, friends and tradition. Lexi included her soon to be family in the planning process, working with the mother of the groom to create the bridal party look. First came the wedding gown shopping, Lexi chose a Vera Wang bridal gown, from Musette Bridal Boutique Boston, and a custom made cathedral veil to complete her look.
Next came the bridal party, Lexi’s bridesmaids chose gowns from Amsale Bridesmaids from L’elite Bridesmaids Boutique Boston, in Dove crepe, that would complement their individual style and silhouette. The groomsmen wore custom bow ties, created by Musette Atelier, in the matching Dove color and the flower girl dresses were US Angels, from L’elite Bridesmaids Boutique, with matching custom made Dove sashes.
The Mothers dresses were found at L’elite Occasions Boutique

Grandmother of the Groom wore a custom dress made by L’elite Atelier Boston
