Beyond the wedding day. A little Rhode Island with you always.
My name is Ainslie, founder of Down Home Events and the creative behind The Rhode Island Bride. For over seven years, I’ve had the joy of working with couples as they plan and celebrate their weddings throughout Rhode Island. From oceanfront ceremonies and historic mansions to the little details that make each celebration unique, I’ve seen firsthand how special it is to get married in the Ocean State.
But my love for Rhode Island weddings goes beyond the wedding day itself. There’s something about the memories we make here — the familiar coastal towns, salty ocean air, sandy beaches, summer celebrations, and the places that will always remind us of a special time in our lives.
I created Rhode Island Bride to celebrate all of it.
Inspired by my years in the Rhode Island wedding industry and my love for this little state, the Rhode Island Bride brings together coastal style, wedding celebrations, and a some Little Rhody pride. Here, you’ll find bridal, bachelorette, and wedding party apparel designed for the moments leading up to “I do” and the memories that last long after.
Maybe you’re a bride-to-be planning a coastal bachelorette weekend. Maybe you're celebrating your engagement or gathering your favorite people for the big day. Or maybe you got married in Rhode Island years ago and still smile when you think about that time in your life — the venue, the people you celebrated with, and the memories you’ll always carry.
You don’t have to be a bride right now to be a Rhode Island Bride.
Whether you're getting married here, grew up here, came back here to celebrate, or simply hold a special Rhode Island wedding memory close to your heart, I hope you find something that brings a little of that feeling back. Because the best wedding memories don't end when the celebration does.
Thank you for being here and supporting my small business. I'm so happy to share a little piece of Rhode Island with you!
Made for the memories. Inspired by Rhode Island.
