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...

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

Real Maine Winter Weddings~ Red & Silver Glam

Amanda wanted a glamorous winter wedding, with roses, and candelabras... crystals, and garland.  Kathryn and I created Amanda an inspiration board that consisted of two designs....

The long head table would have five candelabras four lower and one large with a rose pomander in the center.  Two large arrangements on silver pedestals would also be on the table... The tables where cover with a silver detailed overlays and 30 square votive candles to draw light down, as well as up with the 24 candlesticks...

On the smaller  round tables we had three rectangular vases with one dozen roses in each vase and three silver candlesticks on the same silver scroll overlays.

We add crystal pendants on the large candelabras and added sparkle details in the rhinestone snowflake napkin rings, and snowflake ornaments with the table numbers.  The escort cards where snowflake ornaments that huge from a manzanita branches draped with crystals.... The effect was Glamorous, Elegant, Classic

We used 500 red roses in this design, Amanda' s bouquet had 50 red roses as well as 15 red callas, wrapped in satin and added silver sequin details, and a vintage brooch from Amanda's family....

The ceremony took place in the mountain chalet's  great room.  We lined the aisle with cylinder vases filled white pillar candles and white pine garland, that filled the room with smell of winter....

It was a wonderful winter evening with good food, good friends, and good cheer.... there really is something about a winter wedding in Maine.....
