Do we know chic in Maine? Ayuh! Here are some of the fun celebration trends that have been seen in the Pine Tree State:
Boot Brigade:
These boots were made for much more than just walkin’. This Bangor bride paid homage to her Arizona roots by wearing a pair of western-style cowgirl boots on her big day. And why not? It kept the snow out of her toes and she kicked up her heels on the dance floor all night!

Succulent Bouquets:
These water-retaining plants add a unique texture to bouquets. We love the different shapes and colors succulents offer, making bridal bouquets stand out. Plus, you’ve got some cool houseplants after the wedding is over. How’s that for going green?

Happy Hangers:
These adorably personalized hangers are popping up everywhere this year. What a fun way to honor your bridesmaids and have something special to hang your own gown on. This is one thoughtful gift that can be used again and again.

Natural Wonders:
We love this all-natural twist on place cards. What’s more “Maine” than beach rocks weathered by the surroundings? The names of the guests are written on with a regular old permanent marker, making this an extremely easy DIY craft project.

Bolero Me Over:
We’ve been dreaming of a lace bolero ever since we saw this photo. It adds a little “something” extra to a simple wedding gown, and keeps the Maine sea breeze off of your shoulders. Plus it’s stunning—you can’t go wrong.

Uncommon Cakes:
Who says your wedding cake has to be white? Brides are asking their bakers to get creative and incorporate their wedding colors in new ways. And who doesn’t love a decadent chocolate frosting?

Mason Jars:
Don’t recycle the jars from grandma’s dilly beans this year—save them for your wedding! These canning jars are all the rage right now and brides are using them to create a vintage feel for their big day. They make great candle holders and are easy to come by. Plus, if one breaks, it’s no big deal.

Plumage:
Peacock feathers are everywhere this wedding season, and for good reason—the colors are stunning! From peacock-inspired cakes to hair adornments, we’re loving the royal blue, emerald green, and bronze!
The Right Light:
Now, more than ever, brides and grooms are thinking about how they can use different colored lights to create a mood for their wedding day. Strategically placed bulbs in a variety of colors can wow your guests and create a one-of-a-kind experience.
