Though they grew up worlds apart – Pablo from el campo in Argentina and Allison from Rhode Island – the feeling of home was what this couple wanted to express through their nuptials. Allison has always summered in Narragansett, so when it came time to plan her American wedding to Pablo, her thoughts immediately led to the shoreline. With “light-filled, natural, breezy, and full of love,” as personal directives from the couple’s roots, Allison took her color cues from the ocean. “Greens and blues from the seafoam, and golden hues from the sand dunes were pulled in as the source of inspiration for the wedding stationery suite, florals, and decor,” says the newlywed. “Supporting local artisans and creatives was important to us and a large majority used for the wedding were women-run businesses that added unparalleled creativity to the sentiments of a warm Rhode Island summer night,” she adds. DWRI Letterpress created menus in both English and Spanish, and the couple shared vows in both languages. The day ended up being a perfect blend of their two lives, and they followed up with a second celebration in Argentina.
