Charlene and Thomas tied the knot! This past August, the newlyweds celebrated their love with a picturesque wedding at Regatta Place in Newport, Rhode Island. Their special day featured elegant coastal blue and white accents, blending formal, classic elements with a relaxed, beach-inspired vibe. Wanting to make the most of the beautiful outdoors, Charlene and Thomas chose Regatta Place for its stunning waterfront views—and the Rhode Island weather couldn’t have been more perfect.
The couple began their day preparing separately, with Charlene getting ready in a gorgeous beach house that set the tone for her prep photos. The two shared a heartfelt first look by the water, where they exchanged private vows in Newport, RI. Adding a unique touch to their portraits, Charlene and Thomas brought along a baby blue vintage VW, perfectly complementing their color palette. Their ceremony took place on Regatta Place’s scenic deck, overlooking the breathtaking Newport Harbor.
The celebration continued with an open-air reception, where the couple’s vision of a preppy coastal wedding came to life. From the blue and white dance floor to hydrangea-filled décor, every detail reflected their theme beautifully. Guests were treated to special touches like espresso martini shots and a biscuit bar, rounding out an evening of laughter, dancing, and love for the new Mr. and Mrs. Congratulations, Charlene and Thomas!
