Prouts Neck, Maine Rehearsal Dinner

Sunday, April 29th, 2012

It was so much fun for Beautiful Days to be a part of Lucy and Rawle’s fabulous Prouts Neck, Maine wedding (which you can see here!) and it was a special treat to be able to provide the flowers and lighting for the rehearsal dinner. The celebration at the Prouts Neck Country Club was warm, festive and full of love! On the menu? ….a classic Maine lobster bake complete with bibs and red and white checkered table clothes. Beautiful Days created lovely fresh flower arrangements of peonies, saponaria, mint and strawberries, the fun table number holders of strawberries in jelly jars and we always love an excuse to use our fantastic white enamel tray to display the escort cards. The lighting was a combination of our paper star and asian lanterns which added a festive glow to the party. The super sweet watercolor table numbers from Griffin-vites were the perfect finishing touch.

Prouts Neck, Maine Wedding

Sunday, April 1st, 2012

What better way to start gearing up for Maine wedding season than to reflect back on one of Beautiful Days’ favorite wedding celebrations?! This Prout’s Neck, Maine wedding had everything going for it…idyllic ocean side setting, a fantastic caterer, one of the biggest Sperry tents ever, custom linens and perfect table settings, a get down all night long party band, a wonderful couple with equally wonderful families and design and flowers from Beautiful Days. The overall decor and vibe was seaside, elegant, chic….and it came together marvelously!

Perfect dress with one of our favorite bouquets! A classic bridal bouquet of peonies, roses, freesia with just a touch of silver dusty miller.

A bride’s best friend? Stunning accessories of course!

What more can a bride and groom ask for?! The backdrop of Scarborough Beach, simple white chairs set up in the round and a simple white birch arbor with a romantic scattering of white petals made for ceremony setting perfection .

A few of the flowers on the arbor I actually cut from a rambling bush of wild roses that day! The bridesmaids perfect in pale pink with peony, rose, sweet pea and dusty miller bouquets. And really – how cute is the ring bearer/dog wrangler?!

GORGEOUS make up from Joya Beauty and simple yet stunning hair from Hair That Moves.

Churchill Events not only served a phenomenal feast but were true professionals right down to the ties and aprons!

It’s all in the details!: The table settings and custom linens from Be Our Guest, custom painted manzanita branches for the table numbers, a little sea holly to complete the napkin, very cool and chic coral pattern linens for service and cocktail tables, simple escort cards with beautiful calligraphy, elegant flower arrangements of hydrangea, roses, freesia and peonies with succulent accemts to add texture and depth in vases lined with mussel shells, a towering cake with blueberry accents and plenty of champagne on ice.
