After we took photos at the Southeast Lighthouse, we drove over to the amazing Mohegan Bluffs. The bluff’s cliff’s are nearly 200 feet high and showcase stunning ocean views.

Melissa shares, “When Justin and I started thinking about our wedding day, we knew right away that we wanted to have a destination wedding. Picking the actual destination turned out to be harder than expected, but once we found out there was an opening at the Spring House Hotel on Block Island, everything seemed to fall into place. Block Island is one of our favorite vacation spots – we’ve been spending time there every summer since we started dating in 2007. It was a really special experience for us to have all of our friends and family together on Block Island for a whole weekend. And, as an added bonus, since we got married during the off season, it was almost as though we had the island to ourselves!”

Melissa continues, “Early on in the planning process, I decided I wanted to knit the flowers for our wedding. Despite a lot of people thinking I was crazy, the idea quickly snowballed into incorporating yarn throughout all of our décor. Together with an army made up of my mom, sister, aunts and cousins, we made knit flower bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres, bow ties and over 1,300 yarn pompoms used in our centerpieces, ceremony aisle and backdrop. After all of the hours put in making everything, seeing it all come together on the day was amazing.”
