Something White Bridal Boutique: REAL BRIDE: Erica

Andy & Erica Logan

8.20.2016

A Sally Eagle wedding gown, a gorgeous August day, the Boston Harbor, & a stunning couple, what else could you ask for? Andy & Erica's romantic & sophisticated Tea Town wedding day was one to remember. Complete with greenery & navy bridesmaids dresses, the Logan's wedding day will leave you craving your very own Boston wedding.

What made you decide to get married on August 20, 2016?

"I grew up in Massachusetts so it was very important to me & my family that I got married back on the East Coast. Knowing that the vast majority of our wedding guests would be traveling for the wedding, we decided it would be easiest for everyone if the wedding was in Boston as opposed to outside the city. Convenience is key! Once we started our search, I absolutely fell in love with the venue, Boston Harbor Hotel, & knew it would be the perfect place for our big day. Honestly, we chose the date because it was the only Saturday evening available for the summer of 2016. As it turns out, Andy & his family had visited Boston many years before & stayed at the Boston Harbor Hotel- it seemed like fate. The date also worked out perfectly as both my dad & Andy's mom had their birthday's earlier in the week."

What advice would you give to other brides?

"One of my bridesmaids gave me this advice & I am so glad she did... find a time in the days leading up to your wedding to do something with just your fiancé. You won't have any time just the two of you on your wedding day. On the Friday before our wedding, we woke up early & went for a long walk & got coffee & breakfast, just the two of us. It was a perfect way to kick off the weekend & prepare for the whirlwind of the next few days. Also, drink lots of water!"

Did you have a specific theme in mind while planning?

"My favorite color is navy blue so the bridesmaids wore that & we went with navy tablecloths for the cocktail hour. For the theme & feeling of the room, we wanted it to be very soft & romantic so the space was filled with creams, whites, & golds. Our florist, Orly Kohn, absolutely transformed the room. It was an absolute dream & exactly what I had hoped for & envisioned."

What was one of your favorite moments from your wedding day?

"Too many to count! In no particular order, getting ready with my mom, sister, & best friends, our first look, my first look with my dad, saying our vows, our first dance, my dance with my dad, dancing with my nephew, and dancing the night away with our friends & family. Our band, K2, is absolutely amazing & they honestly made it the best night ever. Our absolutely incredible coordinator at Boston Harbor Hotel, Michael Boivin, also arranged for late night food to be delivered to our room so after enjoying the rest of the night at the hotel bar, we had macaroni & cheese & chicken fingers (our guilty pleasures) waiting for us in our room. Absolute perfection."
