Treat Yourself
“A good way to have a dessert display
stand out is to have a cohesive theme
throughout. It ’ s important for the
couple to stick to something that ’ s
a good representation of them. I
think something personal is more
meaningful than a particular color
scheme. Most couples choose a
small cutting cake and cupcakes all
displayed on one stand with the cake
on top.” – Tara Quinn of QuinnSea

What’s on the Menu?
“Recently, couples have been gravitating towards local Rhode Island
favorites, such as clam cakes with chowder, raw bars, stuffies, etc. for
the cocktail hour. Meanwhile, they generally choose plated dinners
for their reception, typically with beef and seafood options. But, if
someone’s incorporating a lot of seafood into their cocktail hour, then
we suggest our organic chicken entrées paired with beef. We always
advise our couples to select things that they love because a wedding is
meant to showcase them as a couple and as individuals. Guests love
to see those details in the food selections, as well!” – Casey Stamouli of

Under the Tent
“Some ways that couples have gotten creative with their outdoor weddings is by creating
a show-stopping tent entrance. Our Sperry Arch makes for an elegant gateway into the
tent and is the perfect blank slate for florals and drapery. Another unique detail is to apply
drapery curtains to perimeter poles, which results in a softer, more romantic tent silhouette.
I personally love — in addition to a large reception tent — using smaller tents to act as fun
destinations for kids’ crafts, cocktails, lounging and more. Successful wedding decor is all
about what makes you happy.” – Jen Sperry of Sperry Tents, sperrytents.com
