Maine Wedding - Pemaquid Point

Belle Fete was a part of an amazing wedding that took place at the Bride’s family club in Pemaquid. Not too long after we began planning her reception, the couple moved to Zurich Switzerland, where the Groom hails from.  There was no doubt in the Bride’s mind that she wanted her reception held in a place that meant so much to her. 
 
She wanted to create a menu that incorporated Maine and Swiss cuisine.  We had alot of fun coming with a menu that fit the bill….. 
 
For the look of her reception, she wanted a elegant but rustic look.  Her tables were covered in ivory linen, lined with a burlap and sage green runner.  Emily Carter used antique silver containers to create romantic centerpieces where no two were alike.  The ceremony took place on the rocks where the Bride’s father brought the Bride over by boat.  After the ceremony, the guests crossed the street to the clubhouse where cocktails and appetizers were had on the porch.  The Bob Charest Band got everyone dancing long into the night.

Using Color To Define Your Event

 
 
For a very special corporate holiday dinner we used two shades of purple on the table.  The darker color as the base cloth and the lighter contrasting color for the napkin.
 
 
Playing off the colors with the decor in various shades of purple and silver really make the colors on the table pop.
