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.....

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...
