Caitlyn and Mike

Nautical Spring Wedding at Inns of Aurora

A gorgeous spring wedding on the water

Caitlyn and Mike’s wedding day at the Inns of Aurora felt like the most beautiful kind of spring along Cayuga Lake. Soft blue and purple tones, fresh florals, and thoughtful details created a celebration that was both elevated and deeply personal.

One of the most meaningful touches was the sailboat filled with blooms, a subtle nod to Caitlyn’s nautical roots that tied the entire day together so effortlessly. From the bridesmaids’ palettes to the lakeside ceremony, every detail felt intentional and light-filled.

The day unfolded with the dreamiest glow, that kind of golden, reflective light off the water that makes everything feel a little more magical. And when it came time to celebrate, Caitlyn and Mike brought the energy. Espresso Martinis in hand, a packed dance floor, and so much laughter carried the night. It was joyful, vibrant, and undeniably them.

Favorite Details

One of my favorite details was the sailboat overflowing with florals, a perfect nod to Caitlyn’s nautical roots. Their dogs, Bruce, Bowie, and Bernie also made charming appearances - inspiring the cocktail stirrers, napkins, and bar menu.
