Belle Fete was thrilled to be involved in a wedding at the Ducktrap Retreat in Lincolnville, Maine last weekend.
The bride and groom were so wonderful and their wedding day was a true reflection of who they were. They wanted to create a beautiful environment that was both elegant and fun at the same time.
They achieved this with the help of the amazingly talented florist Alda Stich who helped them create an "elegant picnic" type environment. Alda's husband, Bo, brought in birch trees that were covered in white lights to line both the tent and main dancing room.
Wildflowers in shades of gold and yellow with blue accents were used for the centerpieces. We used simple white linens with blue overlays on the bar along with floral arrangements in antique cobalt blue containers.
The menu was chosen very carefully ensuring there was something for all palates.
