Emily the bride knew just what she wanted – something sophisticated and contemporary while still being inviting and warm. Under the dining tent we created pink and green table arrangements running the length of the three long family style dining tables with creations of varying heights and scale with key lime and green apple accents and floating, pillar and votive candles. After dinner guests were led to the classic barn with the large entry framed by tulle draping lit by twinkle lights and  the inside filled with pink and white paper lanterns. We added a few pink spot lights to the barn to get some more of the pink glow going. The results were stunning and a perfect place for cupcakes for dessert and dancing away the rest of the night.

Hosted by Laudholm Farm (one of favorite venues!),  Emily and Matt’s celebration was beautifully captured by David Murray of David Murray Weddings and a fantastic feast was served by Kitchen Chicks Catering. All the details and day of coordination were handled with ease by the lovely Brooke Sheldon of Lilybrooke Events. Many thanks to David for providing the gorgeous photos!

Stefanie wanted a magical midsummers night dream feel which we created with lush flowers, a canopy of birch trees lit with golden twinkle lights and lots of candles. It helped that the celebration site was at Laudholm Farm in Wells, Maine which is one of the best venues in the southern Maine seacoast. The ceremony was in the wonderful barn with Stefanie arriving in style in an antique Bently. Cocktails followed on the lawn off the main house with Jeff Clayton of PanNeubean Steel creating a fun island vibe on the steel drum. At dusk guests walked to the tented reception in the field overlooking the gorgeous view of meadows and the far away ocean. A fantastic three course dinner was served by Kitchen Chicks Catering, which included a sorbet course whimsically served in half a lemon peel. The early evening was gorgeous and Stef and Tom snuck away for a few minutes for some stunning photos in the fields. The whole day was captured beautifully by the wonderful and incredibly talented Emilie Sommer and her husband J.

Stef and Tom embraced every moment of their celebration and smiled all night long ….from the teary ceremony, to dancing under the dreamy birch canopy and sharing cheers and alot of love with all their family and friends and finally finishing off the night with a festive sparkler farewell.
