Liz & Al’s Waterfront Eastern Shore Wedding
Featured In This Article:
A sailcloth tent, hand-painted oyster shells, and a celebration inspired by Maryland’s waterways
Blue water of the Choptank River. Boats in the distance. A sailcloth tent rising from the lawn.
Liz & Al’s wedding was filled with details that felt distinctly Eastern Shore.
Florals from J. Starr’s Designs framed the ceremony overlooking the Choptank River. Hydrangea, delphinium, roses, and layered greenery appeared throughout the property, from the ceremony lawn to the reception tent.
Some of the most personal details reflected the couple’s connection to the water. Hand-painted oyster shell ornaments created by the bride served as both escort cards and favors. Two custom watercolor maps highlighting the couple’s favorite Maryland waterways appeared throughout the reception design, a nod to their life as a boating couple and the places they love most.

Beneath the sailcloth tent, woven rattan pendants hung overhead while watercolor floral linens, pressed glass, cane-back seating, and chinoiserie accents layered the tables below. Lounge spaces framed views of the river, and the open-sided tent kept the waterfront setting visible from nearly every seat.
One lesson stayed with the bride long after the wedding:
“It’s so special to have everyone you love in one place at one time. It will likely never happen again, so enjoy every minute.”
A meaningful setting. Thoughtful personal details. And a weekend spent with the people who mattered most.
