Genevieve and Scott's Bucolic Wedding Getaway

Wry Writings

The bride made the save-the-dates, aiming for "wit, sweetness, and cleverness," especially in her sly reference to the couple's nine-year-long romance.

The Invitations

Genevieve edged the entire suite in black ink, and closed the envelopes with wax-seal stickers. For a playful touch: Under the flap she printed Finally! "I get a kick out of little design elements like that," she says.

A Witty Welcome

Family members drove guests from the island's ferry landing to their cottages. The welcome sign read We are ferry excited you're here!

A Bag of Goodies

Welcome bags featured sweets and necessities for the Vineyard: flashlights labeled Don't Trip (via 4imprint), boxed water, a lobster-shaped Melville Candy Company lollipop, bug spray in a bottle labeled Don't Bug Out!, an activities booklet, and matches.

Sweet Treats

Saltwater taffy provided a sweet note (and a printed one: Yum).

All Mapped Out

The bride's brother illustrated maps of the property's paths and guest cottages.

The Venue

"The cottages and buildings on the property were so charming," says Genevieve of Beach Plum Inn.

The Locals

The couple's two-bedroom cottage overlooked fields—and curious sheep.

Getting Ready

Scott's brother helped him suit up with their grandfather's cuff links and tuxedo shirt studs.

Delicate Accessories

Genevieve gravitated toward these two Blanca Monrós Gómez gold bangles because she often goes for simpler, delicate pieces when choosing jewelry, and she didn't want to overpower the dress.

A Flower in Her Hair

Genevieve did her own hair—a loose bun on the side of her head—and finished off the look with a fresh gardenia in lieu of a veil.

The Meal Plan

Chef Chris Fischer and the farm director from Beetlebung, which adjoins the Beach Plum Inn, picked fresh produce for the salad and side dishes the morning of the wedding.

The Rings

"I wanted a beautiful box to keep my ring in since I don't wear jewelry to sleep," says Genevieve. She chose a rose-gold band designed by Steven Alan; Scott's is from Tiffany and Co.

The Fashions

Scott, in Calvin Klein with an Ermenegildo Zegna tie, and Genevieve, in a Johanna Johnson Black Label gown, shared a laugh as the sun came out.

Clutch It Close

Each of the four "brides' women" received an envelope clutch by Amy Steele.

Black Frocks

The bridal party was encouraged to pick out structured, simple black dresses and nude shoes.

Gifts for the Guys

Groomsmen received Michael Kors ties and white pocket squares with black trim from The Tie Bar, with a tag saying Thank you for being there.

The Groomsmen

The guys looked sharp in their classic ensembles.

Pretty Posies

Genevieve's bouquet included local blooms like calcynias, panda anemones, dahlias, and native field grasses.

A Moment With Dad

Genevieve and her father shared a giddy moment before walking down the aisle.

The Best Rain Plan

Guests had a view of the countryside during the ceremony, yet still were protected from the rain.

The Ceremony

The Reverend Jacalyn Kane, who officiated, helped the couple write their vows. "We wanted to express our individuality. Scott and I are very different," says Genevieve. "But we complement each other well—we're each best at things that the other is worst at."

A Culinary Cocktail Hour

Mismatched mugs made whimsical vessels for seafood soup during the cocktail hour.

Catch of the Day

A bonito, freshly caught off the island's coast, provided the raw ingredient for crudo served as hors d'oeuvres.

Cheeky Cocktails

The cocktail menu featured two signature drinks: a "Gen-n-Tonic" and a "Scottch," a spin on their names (and their favorite libations).

A Fashionable Friend

A good friend traveled from England to party with the couple. "Jo works for Jimmy Choo," says Gen, "so I always love her shoes!"

Made by a DIY Dad

The bride's father made the seating-chart frame with wood salvaged from his farm in North Carolina.

A Relaxed Scene

More local plants and flowers in narrow vases graced bare wooden tables and adorned each napkin. "Genevieve picked pieces of simple beige grass from the island's fields and said, 'This is what I love,'" recalls her florist, Krishana Collins. "So we created wild-meets-cultivated compositions."

The menu kept with the witty wording of the fête—thanking the chef and the venue's team for "working so chard and remaining calm" and exclaiming that everything looked "radishing!"

First Course

The dinner salad featured kohlrabi, mint, and mixed greens that were gently tossed before being plated.

Mother and Son

Scott and his mother shared their own warm moment during the father-daughter dance.

Sister Sister

Genevieve whispered a happy secret to her sister during the reception.

Dancing All Night

Genevieve's mother and a bridesmaid took a break from the dance floor. "I've never seen my parents dance like that before," says the bride. "Everyone got into it." Scott had hired a local band called the Sultans of Swing, and celebrants gave the music rave reviews.

A Sweet Ending

Skipping a traditional cake, the couple opted for variety: a rich chocolate tart served with whipped cream, a pear crisp, and a selection of cookies.
