Erin & Eric get married in Bar Harbor, Maine

Photographer: Rebecca Hansen

 
In the midst of planning a wedding with a guest list of 200, Erin & Eric called us to say that they were leaving the big wedding behind. Instead, they invited their immediate family and ran away to one of their favorite vacation spots, Bar Harbor Maine. They asked us to plan & design their small celebration, with their only guidance being that they loved vintage shabby chic, and the color palette of muted purples, creams and marigold. The concept we came up with had a vintage feel with birch wood rounds pulling together centerpieces made up of succulents & milk glass. Erin's bouquet emulated organic design and was filled with hydrangea, kale, Maine-grown lamb's ear, and purple and cream roses. They were married on a typically windy October day at the top of Cadillac Mountain. They and their adorable families dined on a gourmet meal served at the Looking Glass, a four star restaurant that overlooks scenic Frenchman's Bay and boasts Yankee magazine's "Best Breakfast With A View" in New England.

The long, family-style table had a buttercup bengaline fabric runner and clusters of vintage sherbet cups, milk glass and bottles filled with roses, hydrangea, button mums, and kale. It was this design concept that earned one of our greatest compliments to date: As Amber was sewing a bustle on Erin's dress, Erin's mom commented on the design, "Erin, she totally nailed it. Did you tell her what to do?" Erin replied, "No Mom, we spoke briefly twice and I sent seven photos of things I like" Erin's Mom said, "Well, she got everything you wanted and all that you dreamed!"
 

We loved working with this couple and appreciate their heartfelt thanks, and that of their families, more than perhaps even they know. Erin & Eric's small yet elegant wedding is proof that sometimes the smallest things are the sweetest things.
