Krista + Victor →

Krista + Victor married on Friday, July 6, 2018 at a private, oceanfront home in Freeport, Maine.

Heidi Brisette, owner of SHE Luxe Weddings was the mastermind behind this wedding. The design was all about romantic white flowers and dripping, vining, greenery.

The clear top tent had hanging structures with draping greenery and Hanging Amaranthus.

Structures suspended by Event Lighting Concepts

No detail was overlooked. Walnut cross-back chairs…luxurious linens and taupe colored candle tapers.

Taupe tapers with gold accents.

Krista and her wedding party embodied casual sophistication. We paired crisp white flowers against rich greenery for contrast.

Jaimee Morse Photography captured this day and night perfectly.

Aurora Provisions catered the event.

VALENTINE'S DAY →

Valentine's Day is next Wednesday. Smack dab in the middle of the week. It's a nice distraction during these long winter days in Maine. 

Valentine's Day is an exciting time in the world of retail. In preparation, Amy will head to the market to hand-pick the prettiest flowers she can find. What's nice about February is that spring flowers are just starting to become available in the North East (Daffodils...Tulips...Hyacinth... Lilac...) And, of course we'll have roses-even garden roses.

We'll be delivering all day and are willing to travel all over the mid coast and even down to Portland.

Delivery available to: 

Brunswick, Harpswell, Topsham, Bath, Woolwich, Wiscasset, Durham, Freeport, Yarmouth, Falmouth and Portland

Free delivery to Brunswick   

WOVEN →

This styled shoot was a collaboration between Amy, her eldest daughter,  Jacqueline Maloney of Asheville, NC, local sculptor, Susan Perrine and Jennifer Battis Photography. Together these women wove a story of how Maine's waters and deep woods lend themselves to the joy of art and romance with a bit of whimsy thrown in.

Homage was paid to the natural world through the hand dyed and sewn cloth and fibers used by costumer, Vanya on Jackie's gown to the bold, twisted and intertwined branches and twigs of Susan Perrine's sculptures and through the lens of Jennifer Battis' camera.

Christmas Cozy Engagement →

This styled engagement shoot took place at Beech Hill Barn, a beautiful estate which doubles as a horse farm and wedding venue. Emily Elizabeth Events conceptualized the shoot and curated an intimate engagement on a quiet farm in Maine. Jamie Mercurio's saturated photos captured it all perfectly.

We used local Ilex berries, Pepperberry, Balsam, Cedar, Rose Hips, Ranunculus, Amaryllis and (our favorite) Kiwi Vine.

We loved all the little details and pops of red and green throughout.

The stunning view from the barn.

Summer wedding at Beech Hill Barn →

Beech Hill Barn is one of the nicest barn venues in Maine. Located in Pittston, Maine, the farm has horses and the owners, Priscilla and Jay live on site.

Priscilla and Jay both have an attention to detail. She mentioned to me that she researched barn venues for a year in order to create the ideal venue. I was particularly impressed with the outdoor space. There were designated areas for cocktail hour and a place to  enjoy cocktails while playing yard games.

I also noticed the careful consideration that went into her vendors' needs. There was an area tucked away for caterers that even had an outdoor sink-- something I haven't seen in my years of wedding set ups.  This wedding was catered by one of the premier caterers in Maine- Blue Elephant. They, too, are known for their impeccable attention to detail.

Beech Hill Barn also offers a beautiful backdrop for a wedding ceremony- with a stationary arbor and white wooden benches. The walk down to the site is beautiful. The path meanders through fields of Lupines- we were lucky enough to catch the tail end of the season.

A New Headshot →

We wanted to freshen up the website, so we called up the immensely talented, Jamie Mercurio- who, also happens to live close by in the town of Bath, Maine. If you're not familiar with Jamie, you should be. Not only is she incredibly talented behind the camera, she's also hilarious.

Working in a home studio isn't necessarily always glamorous, but it is convenient and a comfortable to place to create (with a dog always by your side).

ZEST Magazine Styled Shoot →

ZEST invited us to do a styled photo shoot to feature table arrangements. 

"Thoughtful table settings add to the pleasure of a meal. They are an expression of identity, connecting hosts and guests through the use of themes, colors, shapes and moods. A thoughtfully set table frames the meal at hand and fosters meaningful conversation that extends far beyond the evening in question." 

Pretty Flowers designed the arrangements, Janice Dunwoody produced and styled the shoot and Erin Little photographed. We created 3 versions: Rustic, Contemporary and Traditional.
