Oceanside Pink Wedding in Castine Maine.... John Peter's Estate

Denise's father is the owner of Wallace Party & Tent Rental.... He is one of my favorite vendors, his staff is top notch, he does whatever he can for me and my clients, and he values his partnerships.... He is an honorable man.  So when he asked us to do Denise's wedding Kathryn and I were touched.  Denise has been working with her dad for as long as she could remember.  She knows how to run an event.  She was incredibly organized and efficient.  A complete breeze to work with.... She wanted pink wedding with purple and gold accents.  There would be three table shapes and table designs.  On the square tables there would be large tall arrangements, on the rounds would be square low arrangements and on the rectangular tables low and long arrangements.  She wanted simple flowers in abundance.... we used pink and purple stalk, pink and purple lithianthus, white hydrangeas, and pink & white callas.  The event was held at the Gorgeous John Peter's Estate.  The cocktail hour was held on the lawn with cotton candy, ice cream sundae & popcorn bar.  Denise & Brian's wedding was touching.... Brian's mom's speech was precious and Brian (Denise's dad) was so incredibly gracious to all of us vendors.... We danced the night away and then moved to a sail tent with all pink lighting for an after party....

I truly believe these two will live Happily Ever After!

I LOVE when bride's trust me.  Lanie, was a Dream to work with.  She wanted an intimate wedding for 50 that was glamorous and fun.  When corresponding with her I found a quote on her facebook page.  It said this....

I believe in pink. . . .I believe in kissing, kissing a lot . . . and I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. -Audrey Hepburn This quote was the entire basis of my design.  I went for a 1950s vibe using black and white damask print accent with bright pink...  Lanie wanted the reception in our studio and we were THRILLED to do it here.  The front end of the studio was were we set up for dinner.  Round tables were set up with black linens and white chiavari chairs and white napkins.  The dishware was white with silver pattern along the edge.  Pink stalk was set on the place settings for a pop of color.  Tall centerpieces to make a big statement, the square vessels with submerged orchids, with large arrangements of pink dutch hydrangeas, pink ranunculus, pink David Austin roses, spider mums.   Bar and lounge were in the back of the studio.  The bar served beer and wine and of course a Pink signature drink, a pomegranate martini.  The centerpieces on the cocktail tables and lounge area as well as the bar were where smaller square vessels with either orchids, and pink stalk.   Mike Dow rocked the evening away by playing great music and everyone danced the night away.  Rick was a SHOW stopper on the dance floor!!! I will NEVER hear "Footloose" again without thinking of him.  Guests besides dancing had a ball in a photo booth from Maine Photo Booth Company.   It was a fabulous night.....I believe that Lanie was a happy girl and happy girls are the prettiest girls...
