Maine Wedding by Maine Season Events
Meagan at Maine Season Events always sends us the prettiest weddings. She’s just got a way with weddings that is pretty, without being stuffy…elegant, without being over-the-top. And this last little wedding shows off Meagan’s skills to perfection. Obviously the backdrop is gorgeous, but more fabulous…are the details. The amazing, homemade cake. The perfectly pretty flowers. The gown, the color palette, the everything. Remember, you can see the whole shebang of beauty right here.

Nick and I met at our Colby College orientation trip. We were camping on Rangeley lake when I first saw Nick. I saw him from behind, catching a frisbee, and I thought to myself, “there he is.” Fast forward to sophomore year of college, Nick promised me that he would be by my side for the rest of my life. Seven years later, Nick officially proposed on my Birthday. He surprised me with a picnic of prosecco and ice cream cake at our favorite spot in a park across the street from our apartment. On the cake was written “close your eyes” in frosting. Nick proposed with his Great Grandmother’s ring from the 1920′s. We celebrated in true Bostonian style atop the Green Monster at Fenway Park.
Nick and I knew that we wanted to get married back in Maine where our relationship first formed. The Barn at Walnut Hill was exactly what I had envisioned as the perfect location for our wedding. I wanted our wedding to suit our personalities; we wanted something that was down to earth and rustic yet also elegant and traditional at the same time. Then I read about Meagan at Maine Seasons Events on Style Me Pretty’s Little Black Book. When we first met, I showed Meagan my inspiration boards that I had made on SMP’s Style Circle website. Meagan and I were completely on the same page throughout the planning process.
Our goal was to mix rustic decor elements with elegant details. We mixed mason jars with antique silver vessels. I wanted everything to be incredibly romantic so we had a plethora of candles, lanterns, and utilized antique candelabras on the head table. The flowers were also very important in my vision. I wanted the arrangements to look like I had gathered them in the morning of the wedding from a lush garden. They were loose and organic in composition. The palette was subdued with ivory, peach, and a dusty lavender.
The table runners, which Meagan designed, combined oatmeal colored linen with a peach satin ribbon. They were the perfect combination of natural and understated elements mixed with something luxurious and unexpected.

Amazing dress, can I ask where you bought it?
This is so lovely,accesible and still dreamy. Maine Seasons is one of the best -I love all of their work.
Everything from the veil to the linens is just gorgeous! I thought "wow" when I saw the pictures. Amazing pictures of a beautiful wedding, congrats!! *I really love the bridesmaids dresses and the proposal!
The flowers are just gorgeous!
Who is the dress designer?
What an great venue!
I always find that barns are so rich with atmosphere and character.
Judy Bourgeois did an fantastic job of the flowers. They match the character of the barn and the couple. Lovely combination.
Speak soon,
Rarely do I write anything about roses but in this case I feel I really need to say what beautiful roses. Also, I love how the cake blends perfectly with the wedding location. The frosting has a rough texture and behind it is the unfinished rough wood.
I echo the request about the veil - where is it from? I WANT IT!
Beautiful Meaghan & Sharyn!!!
You had a very beautiful wedding. I love the rustic atmosphere, blended with some elegance. The cake just fit the situation. The story of how the two of you met, and how he proposed was so nice, and I bet your were really surprised. Thanks for sharing your story, and your wedding with all of us.
This is my kind of wedding in every respect.
LOVE the flowers! There is something so unique and lovely about the color combo.
The flowers and the details look amazing. Love the romantic touch with the candles.
What a gorgeous wedding - from the color palette to the rustic romantic setting - I love everything. thankyou
wow, what a gorgeous wedding. and the dress is stunning!
I love how the cake has a rough finish, it looks so personal, like it was made with love.
I was the maid of honor for this wedding so I have some answers: The veil has been passed down to over 5 women in Nick's family. I believe it was from either his Great Grandmother or Great Aunt.
The dress is Vera Wang.
The pictures do not even do the wedding justice. This was one of the most beautiful nights I have ever been a part of. Everything was so earthy and rustic, but also elegant and fun. So unique, like Mary and Nick! Love you both!
double rainbow!!! What does it mean!
Love you Mary and Nick, your wedding was amazing. It was not only absolutely beautiful but it was so much fun to be a part of! Meagan from Maine Events was a "fairy godmother".
Gorgeous dress! Love the crystal details on the sweetheart neckline. Love the fact that the veil was passed down over 5 women. What a tribute to family!
Thank you for the lovely comments, everyone!!! I was so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Meagan from Maine Seasons Events. She not only helped bring the wedding of my dreams to fruition, but she became a lifelong friend in the process. Judy from Flora and Fauna is a true artist and has such an incredible talent for floral design. Jennifer from 111 Maine created mouthwatering treats that all of our guests raved about (I am still hearing about those lobster rolls!!!!). Sharyn Peavey is SO much fun to work with, and seemed to be everywhere throughout the wedding without ever being intrusive. We will cherish her photographs forever. Peter Miles and The Waiters were also such a hit. People who "never dance" were on the dance floor without any hesitation. The music was absolutely captivating. I also am so grateful that we had the incredible opportunity to have our wedding at The Barn on Walnut Hill. Many thanks to Gail Landry and Mike Haimes for all of the personal touches that you added to the entire week leading up to the wedding.
OMG, Mary, #1 gorgeous wedding. The dress, the flowers, the veil, the rainbow, the barn, it all worked! And #2 Congrats for getting on Style Me Pretty! This is AMAZING!

Your photos and blog are just great. As a wedding and portrait photographer in San Jose, I know that it's challenging photographing outstanding pictures. I'll be keeping an eye on your blog to get some inspiration.
I am newly engaged and starting the dress search! I was wondering if you had more info on the dress, I have tried searching for it online without any success. It's a beautiful gown and I would love to try it on!!
Thanks!
