Some love stories feel like they’re meant to be told on a grand, romantic stage — and Aviva and Adam’s is one of them. After getting engaged at Disney, they carried that same sense of joy, tradition, and wonder into their wedding day at The Chanler at the Cliff Walk in Newport, Rhode Island.

A Fairytale Start on the Cliff Walk Lawn

Their ceremony began outdoors overlooking the Atlantic, with the ocean stretching out behind them like a painted backdrop. The couple stood beneath a lush square floral arch overflowing with pastel hydrangea, roses, delphinium, and romantic garden blooms. It was the perfect reflection of their soft, elegant color palette.

Guests settled in facing the coastline as the sky softened with the first hint of rain. There was something truly peaceful about those opening moments — the kind that remind you why coastal Newport weddings are so timeless.

A Seamless Move Indoors When the Rain Arrived

Just as the ceremony began, a gentle drizzle turned into a true New England rain shower. The celebration moved inside the tented terrace, and the transition felt beautifully effortless.

The arch, aisle florals, and pastel blooms framed the new space with the same romantic feel, creating an intimate indoor ceremony filled with warmth and candlelight.

Watching Aviva and Adam continue their vows surrounded by family, petals, and soft color made the moment feel even more meaningful. Rain didn’t take anything away — it simply made the memory richer.

A Princess-Worthy Bouquet

Aviva carried a pastel bouquet filled with:

  • Blush and pink peonies

  • Garden roses

  • Hydrangea

  • Ranunculus

  • Delphinium

  • Orchid accents

The bouquet paired beautifully with her floral headpiece and gown, creating a soft, fairytale look that felt completely her. Standing beside her, Adam’s white military dress uniform added a traditional, heartfelt touch that honored their values as a couple.
