Tim + Skylar | Rockwood Private Estate Wedding

Skylar + Tim’s private estate wedding in Rockwood was truly one for the books. From start to finish, this wedding was incredibly special, personal, beautiful, thoughtful, and filled with details that felt completely them.


Their love of fishing and Moosehead Lake became the inspiration behind the day, blending a romantic garden aesthetic with subtle fishing-inspired details. Lush florals were everywhere you turned, creating an incredible garden-party feel while still paying homage to the place they love so much. Every detail felt intentional without ever feeling overdone.


And the food?! Absolutely incredible. Guests enjoyed an amazing meal, but the real showstopper came later in the evening when a food truck rolled in serving late-night burgers and truffle fries. It was the perfect way to keep the celebration going and definitely a late-night snack worth remembering!


The weather could not have been more perfect for their Rockwood celebration. With Moosehead Lake as the backdrop, beautiful florals surrounding the property, and their closest friends and family gathered together, it felt like one of those Maine summer days you wish you could bottle up and keep forever.


One of my favorite parts of this wedding was getting to work with Skylar + Tim from start to finish. I had the privilege of serving as their planner, coordinator, and florist, which allowed me to be involved in bringing their vision to life from the very beginning through the final moments of their wedding day.


Being able to take an idea and watch it evolve into a fully realized wedding from the planning and logistics to the floral design and execution is one of my favorite parts of what I do. And this one truly came together beautifully.


Honestly? 10/10. No notes.

Katie and Jack’s wedding at a private estate on Moosehead Lake was such a fun one to be part of. The setting was absolutely beautiful, but what really stood out was how relaxed and genuinely happy the whole day felt.


Katie and Jack are just the sweetest couple, and it was so easy to see how much they care about each other and the people they brought together to celebrate with them.

And then there was the food.


I’m pretty sure this was the best taco bar I’ve ever had at a wedding. 

 From the food to the atmosphere, it was such a fun way to feed a crowd and definitely something guests were talking about!


Once the music started, the dance floor was hopping. Guests were ready to celebrate, and the party kept going with plenty of dancing, laughing, and good times.


Add in the Moosehead Lake views, a beautiful private setting, incredible food, and a couple who were so much fun to work with, and you have one pretty unforgettable wedding day.


Katie + Jack, your day was as sweet as you two are—and that taco bar deserves its own award.

Grace on the Lake Wedding | Hanna + Sam

I’m so excited to share more about Hanna and Sam’s Grace on the Lake wedding in Harmony, Maine. This was one of those wedding days where all the little details came together to feel completely them.


From the beginning, Hanna and Sam wanted their personalities to be part of the day. You could see it in the little things from the heartfelt speeches to the candy they put together for guests to take home. Nothing felt overly complicated or like they were trying to follow a certain “wedding formula.” It was simply a reflection of the two of them.


And then there was the food. Instead of a traditional wedding dinner, they decided to have a pizza bar, which was such a fun choice and was a huge hit with their guests. And because one dessert is never enough, they followed it up with a dessert bar featuring their favorite donuts from The Holy Donut. Honestly, I don’t think anyone was complaining!


The reception was just as much fun. Once the dancing started, the floor stayed busy with everyone from the youngest guests to the grandparents. There was so much laughter, dancing, and time spent together and that’s always one of my favorite things to see on a wedding day.


Looking back, what stands out most about Hanna and Sam’s wedding isn’t one particular detail. It’s how personal the entire day felt. Their families, their friends, their favorite foods, their personalities, it all came together in a way that felt effortless and genuinely them.

And really, isn’t that what a wedding should be?


A day that feels like you, surrounded by the people you love most.
