An Eastern Shore wedding was an obvious choice for Jackie and Ari’s wedding celebration. Since Jackie has been visiting Maryland with her family for years the shore is full of happy memories. Fast forward past a Bumble swipe and a waterfront proposal in NYC, it was time for Jackie and Ari to pick a wedding venue. Considering the couple knew they wanted a spot where their guests could all be together, relax, and enjoy a weekend away. Enter The Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay, Golf, Resort, Spa and Marina.

Ultimately this gorgeous property gave the couple everything they wanted in a wedding weekend. Taking into account it’s a quick escape for their friends and family. Also, the place included a waterfront ceremony and a gorgeous ballroom. No rain plan worries here! After a waterfront ceremony under a modern wooden chuppah the celebration moved indoors for dinner and dancing. Jackie and Ari worked with wedding planner Leslie of Elizabeth Bailey Weddings. And for florist Jeff of Blue Vanda Designs. Both teams worked to bring the outdoors in to the Hyatt’s ballroom.

The Details

All things considered, Jackie envisioned a “California chic vibe”. With decor that was “natural, lush, organic, effortless, and feminine.” The way Leslie and Jeff achieved this look is with a mix of different sized tables and centerpieces. Additionally, including a tree centerpiece made of privet and Camilla leaf branches growing out of the table. Additionally, the head table has a runner of greenery, rocks, succulents, moss, and terrariums. Also, place cards were names calligraphed on magnolia leaves.

Ultimately the celebration was the perfect day. As the ceremony was outdoors and the reception was in the ballroom. Despite rain earlier in the day. After all, this is the biggest fear one has when planning an Eastern Shore wedding.

Finally, the celebration was rounded out with a few quintessential Eastern shore wedding details. Nothing says Maryland more than a crab cake entree and Smith Island Cake wedding cake. The state cake of Maryland. Top it all off with a little confetti!
