Emma Quigley and Jeffrey Smolens' wedding in Rhode Island was a true celebration of their unique connection and love for the Eastern coastline. After meeting in New York City and discovering they had 'invisible strings' connecting them throughout their lives, they chose to tie the knot in a historic estate turned public waterfront in their town. The couple's wedding aesthetic was inspired by coastal surroundings, with shell motifs and organic wave-like design elements, but it was far from kitschy. Every element was created in collaboration with independent makers, from hand-block-printed linens to couture gowns reimagined as works of art. Emma's wedding gown, in particular, was a masterpiece, customized to look like a 'pretty marsh creature' emerging from the shoreline of their ceremony backdrop. For the final hours of the night, Emma donned a custom Clio Peppiatt mini dress, inspired by Taylor Swift's 2025 Grammy's look. The couple's wedding was a true labor of love, with Emma taking on the role of both bride and planner, and the result was a weekend filled with intimacy, serenity, and tranquility.
