Love on the Water: Pale Blue Details, Nautical Motifs Private Yacht Nuptials Emanating Laid-Back Luxury

On New Year’s Eve 2019, Judy decided that 2020 would be the year to be open to new experiences, so when her friend suggested setting her up on a blind date, she said yes. Judy quickly discovered that she had found love again in someone who had been just under her nose; Darrin lived only a few houses down from her. After five years of dating and in a gesture acknowledging their shared love of travel, Judy and Darrin were wed aboard their private yacht on the Pacific Ocean. A portrait of laid-back sophistication, Judy was dressed in a flattering slip-style gown with tasteful pearl straps crossing over the cowled open back, and Darrin sported a sharp black suit and crisp white button-down shirt. To have their parents present in spirit, Judy’s ivory bouquet featured two lockets holding portraits of both her parents and Darrin’s, each on their wedding day. The yacht turned garden featured romantic twinkling lights among the overhanging florals, which contained varieties of Honey Dijon roses, honeysuckle vines, white peonies and campanula. The use of pale blue and leather details throughout the décor conjured a subtle maritime motif. With smiles etched on their faces, the pair exchanged “I do’s”—or in Darrin’s case, “I do, I do, I do’s,” as he eagerly interrupted the minister in earnest excitement. As the sun set, Judy donned a cropped plushcoat and spent the evening dancing with Darrin on the bow of the boat, surrounded by their loved ones. Their advice for future married couples on their wedding day? “It will all end up being beautiful. Just enjoy the day.”
