With its waterfront views and easy New England elegance, Belle Haven Club was the kind of setting that does half the work for you. Sitting right on the Long Island Sound, this private club gave us classic coastal charm and a relaxed feel all at once, and it was a beautiful place to create wedding hair and makeup that could hold up outdoors from the ceremony through the last dance.
A Refined Setting for a Nautical Celebration
Overlooking the water and the club’s green lawns, Belle Haven gave this wedding a real sense of place. Guests arrived to crisp navy and white details and soft blue hydrangeas that picked up the colors of the Sound.
The ceremony took place on the lawn, where everyone gathered under open sky to watch the couple say their vows. A floral-lined aisle led to a simple arch, so the waterfront could stay the main event.
Bridal Hair and Makeup: Classic and Fresh
The bride’s look matched the day: polished and natural, nothing fussy. Soft waves framed her face, and her makeup was all about glowing skin, softly defined eyes, and a classic neutral lip.
At Elwynn + Cass, we build a bridal beauty plan around each bride so she can stop thinking about her hair and makeup and just be present. From the first look to the last dance, her look stayed put and she never had to worry about it.
An Oceanfront Reception
After the ceremony, guests moved to a tented reception overlooking the water, where the decor leaned classic with a modern edge.
Long tables held blue hydrangeas, white linens, and candlelight. The navy and white ran through everything, from the stationery to a custom escort card display that read “Dinner Bells Will Be Ringing,” which added a little wink to the evening.
As the sun went down, guests had cocktails under navy umbrellas and caught the sea breeze, and the whole thing felt both intimate and grand.
Coastal Sophistication, Start to Finish
This Belle Haven Club wedding was elegant without trying too hard. The bride’s soft glam, the nautical details, and the oceanfront setting all worked together, and every part of it felt intentional.
If you want wedding-day beauty that feels natural, put-together, and genuinely low-stress, that’s exactly what we do at Elwynn + Cass.
