Elizabeth and Matt’s Vintage Valentine Wedding | The Harraseeket Inn

A Family Affair of Maine

I’m tickled PINK that I get to share some images of this beautiful wedding on Valentine’s eve!  In just a couple of days this sweet couple will be celebrating their one year anniversary.  I had so much fun reliving this day during the days leading up to this post.  It was full of so many lovely details, multiple shoe changes and lots of furry friends!  These adoring images are courtesy of the talented Elizabeth Stultz Photography.

This brilliant bouquet of ivory lilies and pink roses, ranunculus, tulips and hydrangea were wrapped in a delicate piece of Elizabeth’s Mom’s wedding dress.  All wedding party floral was designed by Wildflower Florist in Freeport.

Elizabeth is a classic beauty with striking features and the most beautiful auburn hair.  She looked so elegant and regal!  Her hair and makeup was perfectly styled by Salon Haute Couture in Yarmouth.

Those fluffy pink hydrangeas just get me!  Heidi at Wildflower did an amazing job.

I love this shot before the ceremony of the two of them praying together.   The two were married at the Berean Baptist Church in Brunswick.

Awh! I love this photo of Elizabeth and her flower dog Mercy.  And if you couldn’t tell, even her veil is a beautiful shade of pink!

The snow just began to fall as the two departed from the church!  Off to the park to get some super stunning images…

This incredible gazebo is right in the center of Brunswick near the shopping mall.  I love the architecture-it reminds me of an old windmill.

Oh how I wish I could share all the outtakes from this one amazing shot of the family with dogs, but there were so many they should have their own blog post.  They are such sweet and playful pups…a big kudos to Elizabeth Stultz for getting this one!

The stunning floral for the reception were designed by the Harraseeket.  Guests enjoyed lavish stationary hors d’oeuvres of seasonal cheeses, fruits and crudite, Maine mussels, lobster bisque shooters and shrimp cocktail.  The signature cocktail was a ‘raspberry chocolate kiss’ and the perfect welcome and start to the event.

The night kicked up a few decibels after the family dances…I had SO much fun watching the night unfold.

This charming winter inspired cake was created by the European Bakery.  The layers of decadent chocolate were served with a raspberry coulis.

They in no way stopped at just cake…along with this adorable candy display, there were chocolate dipped strawberries, fruit tortes, blueberry crumble, chocolate brownie pudding and of course, cold milk to wash it all down!

I wish I could remember this one, but if I could guess…’For The Longest Time’ by Billy Joel?  I love how the girls are diggin it.
