Maine Fall Island Wedding

Maine Fall Wedding 

This past October we were fortunate enough to work with a Maine Destination Bride who selected the Inn on Peaks Island to get married. 

Jelena and Pete made two trips to Maine and then the rest of details to us to plan a wedding weekend for family and friends to come and celebrate the love they shared for each other. 

I remember when talking to Jelena about the decor she said I could anything for colors and flowers except pink! We selected a great color palette of  Marsala, Merlot, creams, accent of peach and soft greens. I think this first image you see will explain how much she loved our interpretation of a New England Fall Wedding in Tent. 

We used cross back chairs to keep the rich fall tones going thru out the event. 

 

The linen was a heavy Yuma fabric in scarlet and we used reclaimed wood boxes & gold mercury glass. For the flowers I used orange amaryllis, Burgundy  orchids, peach David Austin Roses and hanging amaranthus. 

Over the head table we hung fresh flowers and foliage as well as candles. To make sure all the sparkle from the candles danced around the room, I made mirror panels to cover the poles and reflect the details of the table. 

The name tags was a fun project that we did by cutting out two leaf shapes and putting them together.  

We added a lounge in the patio area to help create an extended space of the dance area. It was the most used area other then the dance floor!

Together with their daughter Fiona, Francesca and David were married in a small chapel at SMMC and celebrated at the restaurant where they both met.

David was the Head Chef at the Old Port Sea Grill and Francesca was the Pastry Chef.

Together they both managed to prepare all the food for their guests and it was amazing!

 

 

Priceless. The Inn on Peaks Island. Portland, Maine

 

This is the reaction that makes what I do worth all the hours and sleepless nights. The look on Jelena's face was PRICELESS! Jelena and Pete were married on Peaks Island at The Inn on Peaks Island on October 10th. The only direction I was given was not to use pink. She had no idea what to expect and as you can see from her face she loved it!

Thank you to Focus Photography for capturing all of these amazing images.

This was my interpretation of  a fall theme wedding. Lots of red dahlias, orange and red orchids,
amaryllis and pincushion protea.
