>> TREK OFF THE BEATEN PATH TO GRANITE RIDGE ESTATE & BARN FOR A WEDDING WEEKEND REPLETE WITH RUSTIC CHARM. MOUNTAINSIDE ELEGANCE: Perched atop a private 123-acre peak in Norway, Maine, Granite Ridge Estate offers an upscale nuptial experience with a healthy dose of country spirit. This sumptuous homestead invites you to “rough it” while enjoying all the contemporary comforts of home. From the snug cabin decor to the expansive grounds, this destination proves to be the perfect choice for an au naturel celebration with an elegant edge.

Refinement meets rough-hewn romance at this unique escape. Exchange vows inside the impressive reception barn, or step outside for an intimate ceremony in a cozy wooded alcove along the tree-line. After the “I do’s,” welcome loved ones to enjoy some time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Sit back and relax on the sun-drenched porch, or explore some of Maine’s iconic nature. Outdoorsy guests will leap at the chance for hiking and biking in the nearby White Mountain National Forest, or swimming and kayaking at Norway Lake.

luxe LODGE

overlooking acres of forested landscape, this mountaintop retreat is a tucked away treasure rife with classic new england character —you’ll love its opulent interiors, modern amenities & oh-so-secluded locale.

RECEPTION OPTIONS: Accommodating up to 233, the barn serves as a blank canvas for your creativity to flourish. Whether you’re dreaming of a sophisticated soiree or a country-kitsch fete, its warm wooden beams and sparkling chandeliers will accent your design flawlessly. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outside in, allowing guests to soak up the beauty of the scenery. Invite loved ones to enjoy cocktail hour on the patio or cozy up around the fire pit beneath the stars. ACCOMMODATIONS: Privacy and luxury abound at this classic post & beam-style abode. Featuring ample space to house up to 18 of your nearest and dearest, the estate is ideal for an extended post-nuptial getaway. Settle in around the granite fireplace, or cook up your favorite cuisine in the gourmet kitchen. Bedrooms outfitted with chalet-inspired decor and plush furnishings will transport you into a state of serenity, continued by a soak in the outdoor hot tub as you savor the taste of fresh mountain air.

whatever traditions you choose to include in your ceremony & reception, be sure each

one means something to you as a couple & you’re not just including them for tradition’s sake or because they’re trendy.

shares her golden wedding-worthy secrets for every element of your day.

treat your travelers

be mindful

WELCOME WAGON:

GUYS & GALS:

Don’t forget to make special arrangements for out-of-town guests. When it comes to making loved ones feel welcome, size and expense do not matter. From budget-friendly goodie bags to an all-out wedding eve bash, it’s the spirit of inclusiveness and thoughtfulness that counts. Never lose sight of what’s really important by remembering that the presence of those you hold dear is, ultimately, the best present they can give.

Respect your attendants’ time and resources. They will do their utmost to help you carry out your wedding plans, but that doesn’t mean they need to cater to your every whim. Be clear about your expectations and if you have particular assignments in mind. Set up “communication central” and be sure all parties can access it. While keeping everyone in the loop is critical, bombarding them with daily posts is excessive.

keep cool

social standards

FAMILY TIES:

#SPREADTHELOVE:

Work together to ensure that your in-laws feel comfortable and included. Whether you have married, single, or divorced parents, tact and diplomacy skills can be put to the test. The key is to plan and relay day-of details ahead of time–there should be no surprises on the big day. Arrange where the respective parents will be seated and brainstorm meaningful, unique ways to incorporate all into the celebration.

Social media is a great way to share memories and include long distance loved ones, but if you don’t want to see a sea of smartphones when you walk down the aisle, you’ll have to take action. Keep guests in the moment by establishing some guidelines. Post these on your wedding website, print it in your ceremony program, and ask your wedding party to help spread the word.

take a breather

trust your team

STEP BACK:

VENDOR LOVE:

You’ll need a break from all things “wedding.” A call, a chance to have dinner with your friends, or date night with each other without mentioning the “W” word is a good way to stay in touch with other parts of your lives. Whether it be a mani-pedi with your mom, or a football game with your dad, carving out time to spend together before the “I do’s” is essential. Declare some nights “wedding free” in advance so you can just kick back and relax.

Be considerate of your vendors, they aren’t mind readers. Be sure to communicate your wedding vision clearly–think photos, Pinterest boards, color swatches, or samples of things you like–so they can get an accurate sense of your style and bring your vision to life. Then, vow not to micromanage: you’ve hired professionals, so let them do what they do best.

live in the moment ! whatever surprises the day brings, just look at each other + laugh it away. if you’re smiling + happy, your guests will be too ! N O. 38
