A Lovely Location

Eighty guests joined Nicole and Chris on that brisk sunny day to witness their nuptials. The location? The Cambridge Mill in the bride's hometown in which the bride grew up. The mill-turned-restaurant's warm woods and old stones provided beautiful textures to set an understated ambiance with woodland and whimsical touches.

Inspired by the anemones in Nicole's bouquet, giant paper flowers were crafted for a special arch to anchor the ceremony spot. The bride entered the room as The Cure's "Friday, I'm In Love" played—a subtle nod to the day of the week.
