Maine Senator Susan Collins is in December's Vogue!!

Maine Girls sometimes get a bad rap.... Kathryn & I, we are obsessed with fashion and design. So, when we heard a Maine woman was representing Maine in Vogue we were thrilled! 


Susan Collins has been a senator for our state since 1996.  She works on the homeland security, National Defense, and Education.  I was honored to meet Ms. Collins at Brooke and Andrew's Sebasco Resort wedding.  Brooke worked for Ms. Collins in Washington DC. where she met Andrew.  Sharyn Peavey was the photographer at this nautical themed wedding. (Man, I love doing weddings with her, she is so talented and a spitfire! Sharyn Peavey not Senator Collins) 


OK, back to Senator Collin's...she was an incredibly gracious guest and when recognized by some kids staying at the resort, she spoke with them and took a picture.... I will also say, she did rock it out on the dance floor... 


Well, Ms. Collin's I don't know about your bucket list, but you accomplished something on mine.  Being in Vogue and having my picture taken by the AMAZING Annie Leibovitz along side amazing woman like Joan Wages, Madeleine Albright, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, Barbara Bush (seated on ground), Rep. Carolyn Maloney, Patricia Nixon Cox, Maya Angelou, Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton and Meryl Streep.

Real Maine Winter Weddings~ Red & Silver Glam



Amanda wanted a glamorous winter wedding, with roses, and candelabras... crystals, and garland.  Kathryn and I created Amanda an inspiration board that consisted of two designs....

The long head table would have five candelabras four lower and one large with a rose pomander in the center.  Two large arrangements on silver pedestals would also be on the table... The tables where cover with a silver detailed overlays and 30 square votive candles to draw light down, as well as up with the 24 candlesticks...

On the smaller  round tables we had three rectangular vases with one dozen roses in each vase and three silver candlesticks on the same silver scroll overlays.

We add crystal pendants on the large candelabras and added sparkle details in the rhinestone snowflake napkin rings, and snowflake ornaments with the table numbers.  The escort cards where snowflake ornaments that huge from a manzanita branches draped with crystals.... The effect was Glamorous, Elegant, Classic

We used 500 red roses in this design, Amanda' s bouquet had 50 red roses as well as 15 red callas, wrapped in satin and added silver sequin details, and a vintage brooch from Amanda's family....

The ceremony took place in the mountain chalet's  great room.  We lined the aisle with cylinder vases filled white pillar candles and white pine garland, that filled the room with smell of winter....

It was a wonderful winter evening with good food, good friends, and good cheer.... there really is something about a winter wedding in Maine.....
