Boothbay Harbor, Maine Wedding- A perfect day on the coast!

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

Boothbay Harbor, Maine is one of the quintessential coastal Maine backdrops for a perfect summer wedding. Anyone marrying along the coast dreams of blue waters, sunny skies and balmy nights. Laura and Eric’s dreams came true for their wedding celebration this past summer. A short boat ride from Boothbay Harbor is Squirrel Island where Laura’s family has been summering for generations, her mom and dad grew up next to each other in the summertime! The ceremony was on a perfect beach surrounded by Laura and Eric’s nearest and dearest with cocktails following on the Danforth’s lawn overlooking the island of Squirrel and the surrounding waters. The wedding crowd then boarded boats to Boothbay for the party to continue at the Newagen Seaside Inn. The setting was a dream…the last light of the day made the Sperry tent shine while the full moon rose over the trees. Classic seaside blues with hints of orange were the color palate with special details and decorations displayed through out the tents. Laura’s mom Janet was a crafter after my heart and her boundless energy and creativity were so inspiring! There were so many fantastic images captured by Geneve Hoffman that it was hard not to include them all!

Perfect setting!

I LOVED creating Laura’s flowers! Classic seaside with the added modern pop of tangerine orange…and the sparkly flip flops are the perfect wedding shoe for a seaside party!

It was a flip flop kind of day and the fans definitely came in handy.

Laura’s nephew (the cutest ring bearer ever!) was more interested in his truck than the ceremony – boys!

All aboard! Laura and Eric and their wedding party took the special Nellie G back to Boothbay after gathering all “Squirrels” for a group photo.

Could the day be any prettier!? The Newagen is such an amazing setting and the Sperry tents were the cherry on the top!

Details, details, details…sand dollar escort cards, more pops of tangerine in the centerpieces and table numbers, the best cake I’ve ever tasted and a gorgeous custom engagement portrait guest book by Geneve.

Did I already mention the full moon?!

The night ended with plenty of dancing, the Squirrel tradition of serenading the bride and of course bowling and late night noshing in the Pine Room at Newagen.

Congratulations Laura and Eric! It was truly an honor and pleasure to be a part of your celebration! Wishing you many more beautiful days!

Nell & Dan, Newagen Seaside Inn, Southport Island, Maine

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

I adore being part of weddings at the Newagen on Southport Island, Maine! It is such a special place and a perfect backdrop for fantastic Maine seaside celebrations. Nell and Dan were such an adorable, mellow and fun loving couple and it was my pleasure to create lovely flowers and be the day of coordinator for their wedding. And it is always a joy to work with Jason and his fantastic staff at the Newagen, the always awesome Brian Wedge & Malia, and what better tent than a Sperry! Adore the extra special star tent that was used for a hang out spot!!!

A fog settled in creating a dreamy backdrop for the ceremony which included a custom white birch arbor, lovely flowers in mason jars hanging off the chair ends and white tossing petals to celebrate Nell and Dan’s marriage. I adore this perfect photo of them as they walk down the aisle !

Nell’s classic, white bridal bouquet…even though it was the end of July I was able to get my hands on perfect white peonies!

Nell’s bridal party were alot of fun! LOVED the different style dresses, so chic…and the coral roses and green hydrangeas are fantastic pops of color against the slate blue!

Nell of course had the perfect ring bearers! Too cute! Small mason jars hanging off the chair ends were a nice ceremony detail. And what beautiful bride in a beautiful dress wouldn’t want the quintessential Maine coastline framing her photos?!

Lovely table settings complete with simple and elegant arrangements of white hydrangea, green bells of ireland and coral roses and salvia; great napkin wraps made from wrapping paper and table numbers were photos of numbers. Nell and Dan’s first dance was so sweet..and the twirl factor on that dress was a 10!

What a setting! Before you knew it the party was rocking and Nell and her girls took control of the stage..more cowbell! No celebration is complete at the Newagen without a post party of bowling, pizza and beer in the Pine Room!

Congratulations Nell & Dan!!!!

Hurricane Danny can’t keep a good wedding down!

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Every bride and groom who are planning a coastal Maine wedding need to be prepared for any kind of weather regardless of the season…it could snow in April, sleet in October, rain all day long in June but hurricane in August!? Yes Hurricane Danny was Matt and Ashley’s loud, beligerant, obnoxious, univited guest at their wedding this summer. Some couples would lose it, break into tears that rivaled the rains, call the whole thing off when faced with the fact that mother nature was going to commandeer their perfect seaside summer wedding but NOT Matt and Ashley! Such a cool, fun, fantastic couple..they stayed calm, shrugged their shoulders and knew they were going to have a great celebration no matter what. Thankfully we were at the Newagen Seaside Inn, one of coastal Maine’s most beautiful wedding locations which is staffed by an amazing crew headed by the wonderful Jason Schlosser and we were able to move the party inside instead of the being in the tent by the water. Matt and Ashley did however use the tent for the rehearsal dinner which was decorated with fantastic wasp catcher lanterns provided by the groom’s sister and friends and family were able to take in the gorgeous seaside views. Sure enough the next day the winds blew hard, the rain didn’t stop and the seas were churning. Inside we created a warm ceremony space in the lobby using all the ceremony flowers that were planned for outside and as many lanterns I could get out of the tent before I was blown into the sea. The inn’s dining room was bright and lovely with fresh white linens, white chairs and seasonal flowers from Blooms of Hope against the grey skies outside and the Lisa Love Experience ROCKED the party ! There was a lot of love in that room and the vibe had everyone smiling, dancing and singing all night long…especially Matt and Ashley who I just adore and love that they embraced the fact that despite the weather they were still surrounded by their nearest and dearest and were getting married no matter what the weather! It was truly a beautiful day and I am so honored to have been a part of it.

One very special piece was going to be missed on that day…the quintessential seaside, summer day photos. Ashley had the brilliant idea of having their phenomenal (and all around awesome person!) wedding photographer Brian Wedge come back the following Monday to capture those seaside shots. And they are gorgeous!

Congratulations to Matt and Ashley! Now I know who to party with the next time a hurricane strikes!
