16 HAMPTONSMONTHLY Written by Alexandra Hanken HAPPILYever ISLAND ICONIC LOCATION FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY

From Montauk to Middle Island, Long Island's breathtaking coastlines and rich history ofer stunning backdrops for your upcoming nuptials. Whether your wedding is an intimate party or a grand gala, we've found the perfect seaside locations for you.

Wedding with a View: With panoramic Montauk ocean views, you can’t get married much closer to the Atlantic than at 360 East at Montauk Downs. While the magnifcent beachfront is this venue’s main attraction, there are actually three diferent options for ceremony and reception locations, including on Hither Hills Beach itself, atop the infamous overlooking blufs, or at the base of Hither Hills Lighthouse, which also happens to be the oldest in New York State. This iconic location can accommodate around 200-300 people depending on which on-site or of-site location you select, and all venues are covered by their in-house party planner, caterer, and all other vendors necessary for an evening of music and celebration. The Montauk sunset, taken in from the patio overlooking the golf course, is as beautiful as the nuptials themselves, and all the beauty is easier to enjoy knowing every detail—from permits to party planning—is completely taken care by an experienced and capable team. Although they’ve done hundreds of weddings, their venues really provide a “blank canvas” for each couple to customize, with the only constant factor being the magnifcent Montauk location and character they’ve become famous for. Your wedding Wedding at Gurney's Resort party and guests alike are sure to feel the relaxing nature of life at “The End,” Photo Credit: Filip Wolak making it the perfect location to start your new beginning!

18 HAMPTONSMONTHLY Sanctuary Chic: When it comes to efortless luxury, Gurney’s Resort is the ultimate location for a wedding that everyone is sure to enjoy. With the amenities of an all-inclusive luxury resort, Gurney’s ofers such a wide variety of activities and oferings that your guests may never want to leave! A true escape from the Hamptons’ hustle and bustle, the spa alone is reason enough to make this the perfect wedding destination. After your guests and wedding party soak in the saltwater pool, or enjoy horseback riding, a group ftness class, fshing, or a sailing adventure, they can enjoy the in-house accommodations throughout the wedding, provided complimentary to the bride and groom and at a discounted rate for guests. Your big day will be held beachside, with two breezy decks available for more intimate afairs, or an indoor beachside banquet hall for up to 220. Celebrate long after the sun goes down by a beach bonfre, after a night spent worry-free thanks to a comprehensive wedding package that includes wedding cake design, white glove service, and a variety of other oferings from in-house vendors. Gold Coast Elegance In 1895, Cornelius Vanderbilt’s daughter married the Duke of Marlborough at the Bourne Mansion, a beautiful private estate located about halfway up Long Island’s Gold Coast. While the original design has been updated in the last century, the exclusive luxury and historic charm of the mansion remain, channeling a Great Gatsby- esque allure. The estate’s 205 acres overlook Great South Bay, and the Mansion itself features 40-foot gilded ceilings, and great French doors overlooking a columned courtyard. A variety of vendors are available for selection to help make your night as magical as the venue, and the Mansion will help you design a custom four-tiered cake large enough to fll up the vaulted rooms! A capacity of over 400 makes this the perfect location for large weddings, though smaller areas are customizable for more intimate parties. We promise you’ll feel right at home, which is always nice in a gorgeous seaside mansion! Historic Charm Brecknock Hall provides the ultimate historic backdrop for a Long Island wedding, located at Greenport, the very tip of the North Fork, easily accessible by ferries from Connecticut or Shelter Island. While no overnight accommodations in the house are available, the wedding package includes access to a bridal suite and groom salon, where the happy couple can ready themselves to celebrate a love as enduring as the building itself. Built in the 1850s and renovated in 2009, the building is a local icon, and most couples choose to hold the ceremony on the front lawn of the house. Several tenting options are available on the lawn for 85 people seated, and the patio can hold up to 200 standing . Since no in-house catering or vendors are available, couples are free to choose from a variety of local caterers, or even choose a BYO option. The photos you’ll take on a quiet nearby beach will be treasured forever, as will the experience your guests will have in this charming iconic location.

Hermes is pretty much synonymous with scarves around these parts, but summer scarves can also become a versatile warm layer. For cooler days, layer the scarf over a light sweater and jeans, and then at night, throw it over your shoulders on top of a soft maxi to keep you toasty without looking wintery. White +Warren’s Cashmere Travel Wrap has become iconic as a staple accessory. It is the ultimate carry-on for long fights, but serves just as well as a shawl over a dinner-party dress. Plus, it comes in a rainbow of colors, and we bet after trying it you won’t be able to stop adding a few more hues to your closet. ($298 whiteandwarren.com) vest

When it comes to summer dressing, lightweight layers are key. Unlike their snuggly winter complements, summer vests are more accent pieces than warmers, but a well-placed vest can turn jeans and a t-shirt into a fully-integrated outft. Tailored knee-length styles are on trend for summer, adding a sophisticated topper to white jeans or dark denim, and creating length when paired with a sassy wedge. For a more casual take on the trend, try a military-style vest, like Lucky Brand’s linen version, in an earthy worn-in green and accented with utility pockets for a vaguely safari inspiration.
