Gigantic hydrangea wreath marks the turn and heightens the excitement. Most of the guests arrived from the southern most part of Texas, a very dry, very hot location. Their Lady Bird Johnson respect for the living world of flowers and birds was universal. Destination Maine was everything they had hoped for and more.

The Bridal table for ten atop full dance floor under the massive tent.

A thoroughly modern, intimate design with only limited reserved seating. When the guests arrived they simply turned in the groupings of chairs that they chose to save. Unimpeded conversation flowed. Gracious offerings surrounded the entire tents.

White peonies, sea anemone mums, ladies' mantle, Queen Anne's lace, hydrangea, dahlias, love in mist and touches of blue forget me nots and wild, winter gathered, Maine, tall twiggy branches graced the heavy, clear, oval vases. The ambiance was simply exceptional with Bo Atkinson's tree and lighting.

The professional D.J., childhood friend of the family, arrived from Seattle with two turn tables and the know how, to please. As the guests arrived he began with Stevie Wonder's Castle of Love. Any Bride would melt. Full baskets of flowers lined his stage.
