Kaley and Severiano cut the cake on a balcony as "Wouldn’t It Be Nice" by The Beach Boys played. "When we first fed each other, fireworks went off behind us, and it was just the perfect way to sum up the entire night," Kaley says. "All of our guests were just as surprised as we were to see the sparklers light up! It was such a special moment and the perfect way to kick off the party."

7 Ways to Embrace the Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic at Your Wedding
When it comes to this wedding trend, less really is more—after all, the coastal grandmother aesthetic, when translated in fashion or design, involves a fair amount of restraint. "Incorporate a hint of coastal décor without going too thematic," affirms Arons as shown here with a cottage tablecloth and ratten placemat with a lavender sprig. #weddingideas #wedding #marthstewartwedding #weddingplanning #weddingchecklist

7 Ways to Embrace the Coastal Grandmother Aesthetic at Your Wedding
According to Arons, antique vases—look to blue-and-white Dutch Delft or chinoiserie iterations—are the coastal grandmother-approved vessel of choice; they work better than standard glass bowls or terra-cotta compotes if you're set on implementing this design scheme at your wedding. #weddingideas #wedding #marthstewartwedding #weddingplanning #weddingchecklist

Color—on the tabletop and throughout the rest of the design landscape—is also key: Some of the "cool, coastal tones" Arons has recently employed include monochromatic palettes of white, ivory, and beige punctuated with calming pale blue tones that don't skew pastel.#weddingideas #wedding #marthstewartwedding #weddingplanning #weddingchecklist

Direct your florist to keep your flower selections classic. Look to garden roses, lavender, topiaries, delphinium, peonies, and, of course, hydrangeas; Arons is a fan of lily of the valley. Display the flowers in vessels like mismatched ceramic vases, antique urns, or mixed woven baskets.#weddingideas #wedding #marthstewartwedding #weddingplanning #weddingchecklist

Michele's bridesmaids wore light pink silk gowns, an idea that Marco put on the table. "Since my dress was so busy, they needed to wear something more simple. I also imagined how pretty the light pink would look on the beach with the sunset," she says. The dresses by Michael LoSordo, La Collection, and Marques Almeida varied in style, but were cohesive in color and fabric. #weddingideas #wedding #marthstewartwedding #weddingplanning #weddingchecklist
