Pink and whimsical this wedding was a summer time treat! Be inspired and enjoy the breathtaking views of Down East Maine....

Denise and Brian chose to marry at John Peter's Estate... They went with a pink wedding with gold accents, whimsical and romantic....

They were married by the shore in the woods with a touching and loving ceremony...,
then Denise and Brian treated their gift to cocktail hour with ice cream bar, sundae bar & popcorn.... signature drinks with polka dot straws...  Next guests moved up to the reception tent,  for dinner, and dancing to the Portland Based Band Time Pilots... Finally, after the dinner and dancing... guest moved to the after party tent that glowed pink for an after party.

Vintage Inspired Castine Maine Wedding.

It's a snow day here in Maine.  Cold & Windy.  Makes a girl daydream of weddings future & weddings past.  So, today we went into our vault for an adorable wedding we did over a year ago. This fun, preppy, & vintage wedding was in Castine Maine, where the bride's family grew up summering.

  What makes this wedding even sweeter, is the bride, Laura, came to Maine for a month as our intern this past summer.  We Love Her!! She is hilarious, creative & talented! We want Alan to come get a job in Maine so we can have her ALL the time.

Laura had a great vision for her wedding. Vintage, milkglass, chandeliers, greens and pops of yellow & blue.  She wanted a nontraditional, unique, preppy look, and she did it... beautifully!  We miss you Laura & your wild rice!!! xoxo

So snuggle in and be inspired by this vintage chic gem!

Laura, you are just so stunning

Laura wore a bird cage veil, it looked perfect with her dress

Alan, the adorable groom, greeted guests &

Oceanside Pink Wedding in Castine Maine.... John Peter's Estate

Denise's father is the owner of Wallace Party & Tent Rental.... He is one of my favorite vendors, his staff is top notch, he does whatever he can for me and my clients, and he values his partnerships.... He is an honorable man.  So when he asked us to do Denise's wedding Kathryn and I were touched.  Denise has been working with her dad for as long as she could remember.  She knows how to run an event.  She was incredibly organized and efficient.  A complete breeze to work with.... She wanted pink wedding with purple and gold accents.  There would be three table shapes and table designs.  On the square tables there would be large tall arrangements, on the rounds would be square low arrangements and on the rectangular tables low and long arrangements.  She wanted simple flowers in abundance.... we used pink and purple stalk, pink and purple lithianthus, white hydrangeas, and pink & white callas.  The event was held at the Gorgeous John Peter's Estate.  The cocktail hour was held on the lawn with cotton candy, ice cream sundae & popcorn bar.  Denise & Brian's wedding was touching.... Brian's mom's speech was precious and Brian (Denise's dad) was so incredibly gracious to all of us vendors.... We danced the night away and then moved to a sail tent with all pink lighting for an after party....
