Nicole and Tim’s elegant wedding at the Graduate Hotel by Hilton Providence was an absolute dream! I had the honor of getting to know this sweet couple when I photographed their Ochre Court engagement session in Newport, RI. It was so special to finally see their wedding day come to life. This stunning Rhode Island venue was so unique and a beautiful setting for their celebration. The soft pink, gold, and champagne color palette brought warmth and romance to every moment.
Elegant Graduate Hotel Wedding
The Graduate Hotel is a hidden gem for weddings in Providence, RI. Not only does it offer luxurious spaces for getting ready and capturing wedding photos, but it also features multiple ceremony and reception spaces. This makes it a convenient and versatile venue for couples looking to host their entire day in one place. One of my favorite spaces aside from the ballroom, was the outdoor terrace! We took full advantage of those rooftop views during their wedding portraits. The central location of the hotel also makes it easy for guests to enjoy the surrounding restaurants, shops, and attractions while in town.
I loved the gorgeous getting-ready spaces. The bridal suite was filled with vintage touches and colorful decor, which was perfect for capturing those getting ready moments. Nicole looked breathtaking in her off-shoulder wedding gown paired with a cathedral-length veil, which is always a timeless choice. Her bridesmaids complemented her beautifully, wearing champagne-hued dresses in different styles, creating a soft and timeless aesthetic.
Ballroom Reception
Their reception space was nothing short of stunning. The wide open ballroom features large windows for ample natural light, an intricately designed ceiling, and ornate, gold details around the room. The floral arrangements included white and soft pink blooms with pops of brighter pink and blue adding a fresh and romantic feel. One of my favorite details was the seating chart display! This attention-grabbing focal point consisted of two gorgeous glass panels set against a black backdrop. Centered in between these two panels was a white shelving display that featured photos of the couple and a sign that read, “I would find you in any lifetime.”
After everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner, flaming desserts were brought out! This was so exciting and created such a memorable moment. As the evening continued, the newlyweds and their guests shared lots of laughter out on the dance floor as they celebrated together!
Nicole and Tim, thank you for letting me be part of your incredible day. Cheers to you both!
