details that make us *swoon* - industrial edition. let’s peak around sarah + trey’s FUN colorful joyful celebration in the heart of portland, maine.

I remember fairly close to the wedding day sarah called me wanting to switch up her tablescape and embrace purple and orange with the neon yellow of the signage💥I’d go ahead and say that not only worked it was absolutely show-stopping. . . wouldn’t you agree?
. . vibrant colors, bubbly beverages, creative flower installs forever!

✨wedding #15: courtney + robert 10.19.24✨
our final wedding of 2024 was celebrating courtney and robert at the ever beautiful granite ridge estate.

the weather was absolutely perfect, the foliage was breathtaking, the wood-fired cooking scents were mouthwatering, the floral and design was a fall masterpiece - and most importantly our newlyweds were all smiles and love.

courtney + robert, your laid back and go with the flow ways and complete confidence in our planning process was a joy, and your wedding was the cherry on top of a beautiful season.

we loved helping plan your gorgeous day, one that we’d love to relive again and again.

thank you all for following along in reminiscing about our 2024 weddings as we enter into another busy year ahead 💖
such a crew!

jordana and ian embody the perfect match.

you can almost see the butterflies in their stomachs when they are around one another - the giddiness is real.

that kind of a connection is really amazing to work with because the excitement of their forever was palpable. they could not *wait* to get married.

and their wedding was epic- from an emotional and happy-teared ceremony to an amazing dance party and so many light, happy colors every-which-way, this was just a gorgeous day.

we cheers to you, dear jordana + ian, we love watching soulmates get married, and you two could not be more made for each other.

✨wedding #10: katherine + sam - 8.24.24✨
autumn lane estate is one of our favorite venues (and teams!) to work with and katherine + sam took their own special twist on the venue, calling their wedding “camp klem” and bringing some beautiful and unique design elements to the celebration. enter, the lattice backdrops for the ceremony which we were totally obsessed with, that acted as a backdrop for the wedding party and katherine as she walked down the aisle. sam’s dad brought handmade cocktail style tables for guests to sip cocktails at (obsessed with these). sam + katherine brought this beautiful approach to planning that was full of passion, organization, and beauty and we lovedddd seeing all their ideas come to life. not to mention, they are adorable, kind, genuine and FUN people. thank you for having us as a part of your love story, you darling humans!

✨wedding #8: kara + alex- 8.10.24✨
from our very first consult call speaking to these two was like reminiscing with dear friends- this is just the epitome of a lovely, sweet, down-to-earth couple.

a picturesque august day at beech ridge barn that was very food and floral forward - two of our favorite priorities :) the thing that mattered the most to kara + alex, though, was making sure all guests were having the best time, a truly lovely way to approach your own wedding day.

highlights include the 4 tier vegan(!) cake, kara’s bouquet which added pizazz to every moment, and those dreamy cathedral lights that gave that Hollywood glow.

congratulations dear kara + alex! 💗

✨wedding #7: laura + jonathan - 7.20.24✨
oh what a day! laura + jonathan, are, simply put, one of the most thoughtful couples we have ever met. they put careful thought into each one of their wedding decisions to make it feel like them. examples of this:
• having laura’s childhood librarian officiate from the neighboring town of kennebunkport.
• asking laura’s aunt and uncle to supply reception flowers from their farm - supplied wedding party floral as a best-of-both-worlds balance
• supplying their wedding cake from their favorite bakery
• knowing from the running community and enlisting her for stationery
• laura’s long-time hair stylist did her wedding hair!
• made a custom appetizer of pierogies to touch on a family favorite of the family

laura and jonathan’s wedding is the perfect example of staying true to yourselves for your wedding and incorporating in familiar and meaningful elements - while still having amazing additions to create a smooth day. I personally want to thank these lovebirds for showing up to each meeting we had full of excitement, curiosity, and gusto! we adored planning your wedding 💕🫶🏻

✨wedding #6: anja + brian: 7.13.24✨
anja + brian’s mere point wedding at their family home was sweet summer bliss. the most beautiful day, anja + brian said “I do” overlooking the water. guests found their seats for dinner via bus vases with their names and seating assignments attached - this flower forward method made the already beautiful tables that much happier. the design embraced coastal maine elegance in every way possible.

the july heat even brought a massive thunderstorm (appearing after the ceremony, thank you weather gods) which cooled down a warm summer day and made for an outrageously beautiful night (and sunset)!

cheers to anja + brian 🥂

✨wedding #5: emmy + michael - 6.15.24✨
michael + emmy had a gorgeous june day to get married in the heart of portland. aside from being genuinely kind, interested, and thoughtful people there are a few things that stood out to me on their wedding day that just tickled our fancy - including:
• their dads co-officiated the ceremony (the sweetest)
• they had a dream of family-style tacos for their wedding date (love this) and delivered
• their darling dog, brady, also walked down the aisle and stole hearts left-right-and-center.
• michael had gotten emmy a woodworking kit and emmy made all the escort cards herself (masterfully)

emmy + michael - we miss you both! we hope brady is enjoying blissful brewery experiences with his newly-wedded parents 🍻

✨wedding #3: rachel + eric - 6.1.24✨
rachel and eric got married at caswell farm on the most spectacular not-a-cloud-in-the-sky day. in the time leading up to the wedding there was a lot of focus on the weather - because deep down the lovebirds really wanted an al fresco dinner. they imagined eating farm-to-table deliciousness under the twinkle lights of the garden area of the farm, surrounded by their nearest and dearest. when 0% chance of rain was the forecast we axed the backup tent, and set up outside. and -

it
was
beautiful.

rachel - a small business owner and jack-of-all-trades had such a keen beautiful vision for the wedding - from the gorgeous citrusy floral to the delightful dessert spread (which included delicacies made by both the bride herself and her sister-in-law!) and also featured some local favorites. oh and did I mention the ceremony? It was like witnessing the most lovely meet-cute possible, a true insight into their love story. and so many props to for the most epic proposal of all time.

congratulations, darlings! ✨✨

✨wedding #2: ann + dan - 5.18.24✨
ann + dan are some of the kindest, most down to earth clients we got to work with this year. and my oh my do they know style and food. first off, they had a lovely ceremony at the portland friends meetinghouse (ann wore her mother’s wedding dress!) and guests mingled in the courtyard over tandem biscuits with butter and jam. guests then made their way downtown to the gorgeous us customs house. ann had a wardrobe change into the most chic backless dress to exist (truly). guests enjoyed bountiful and beautiful charcuterie, delicious pizza, and pistachio cake. they clinked glasses and boogied the night away. ann and dan were all smiles and you better believe we were too 💕

✨wedding #1: annie + rachel - 4.20.24 ✨
sign me up for ALL the april weddings - land it on 4.20 to celebrate the most lovely photographer videographer pair and we are in full jubilation mode. first off, if you’re in the industry and have met annie and rachel you already adore them, and knowing that they are two of the most creative, thoughtful, organized, sweet humans to work alongside made planning their wedding that much more of a treat.
this celebration just had everything - it had more than everything. first off the circle ceremony is a full on obsession - the floral and fruit situation was just *bonkers* - the food was absolutely insane (have you had the chickpea fries before from ?!) - there were bubbles flowing and tattoos for all guests - an electric violinist - a magnificent drag show - a delicious pretzel truck - the best dressed couple in the whole land . . . it goes on and on and those thousand candles will have a hold on me forever. best way to launch a season possible 🍒💘🍋 we love you you tropical beauties 🏝️
