A romantic and timeless beachfront wedding at the Lighthouse Inn in Cape Cod. See Melanie and Matthew’s stunning details and coastal vibes for inspiration.

An Oceanfront Celebration at the Lighthouse Inn

Melanie and Matthew’s wedding at the Lighthouse Inn in Cape Cod was the perfect blend of coastal charm and timeless elegance. Set against the serene backdrop of the ocean, this celebration embraced the relaxed beach vibe while remaining polished and heartfelt.

The couple’s decor choices beautifully reflected their personalities and the Cape Cod setting. Their ceremony setup, on the lawn with the ocean as a natural backdrop, was simple yet striking. White chairs lined the aisle, leading to a floral arrangement featuring soft hydrangeas in white, blue, and lavender hues—a nod to the classic Cape Cod aesthetic.

Playful Touches with Meaningful Personalization

The reception tables were adorned with soft, romantic lighting, courtesy of candles in glass hurricanes, paired with floral centerpieces bursting with seasonal blooms like hydrangeas and roses. The neutral table linens let the coastal charm of the venue shine while keeping the decor fresh and light. Melanie and Matthew added whimsical yet deeply personal touches that made their day uniquely theirs. A standout feature was the donut wall, cheekily titled “Donut Mind If I Do”, offering guests a fun and sweet treat.

Another memorable detail? Custom cocktail napkins with an illustration of their dog, Poppy, and the phrase “Drinks on Me! Love, Poppy.” These small touches tied in their love for their pet and delighted their guests.

The signature drinks menu was equally thoughtful: “Popert’s Paloma” for him and “Cape Thyme Lemonade” for her—an ode to the location and their shared tastes.

Bride and Groom Style: Effortless Elegance

Melanie stunned in an off-the-shoulder gown with a dramatic train, paired with a classic veil and blue hydrangea bouquet. Her look felt timeless yet fresh, perfectly suited for a beach wedding. Matthew complemented her beautifully in a navy suit with a floral tie, adding a modern touch while staying true to the coastal setting.

Capturing the Lighthouse Inn’s Charm

From the images, it’s clear that the Lighthouse Inn was the ideal venue. Its charming white exteriors, paired with the ocean and the sailboat as photo props, offered countless photo-worthy moments. Melanie and Matthew’s black-and-white portraits on the rocky shore, along with their stroll near the iconic sailboat, captured the classic Cape Cod vibe effortlessly.
