ou’ve probably dreamed about your wedding day since you were a child, picturing it as perfect, magical. But, as much as we might wish it so, there’s no wand to make that happen. It means a lot of research, a lot of decisions. Which gown? Flowers? Venue? And that’s just for starters.

We’re here to help. This Spring/Summer issue of New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE gives you a ton of ideas for the coming season. You’ll see gorgeous, ontrend wedding gowns in a setting that’s enchanted people for more than a century, and you’ll discover the amazing artistry of a cake maker who shows that wedding cakes don’t have to be predictable. Plus, we show you how a circa 1800 meeting house can provide a beautiful backdrop for a wedding. And, as always, the inspiration of “Real NH Weddings.”

Don’t forget to check out our website, bridenh.com, where you’ll find many photos that we couldn’t fit in this issue (check out the stunning mountaintop shots by photographer Jay Philbrick) as well as extra features and links to local resources. You’ll also find us on Facebook at Facebook.com/nhbride.

Enjoy this special time and, from everyone here, our very best wishes for a wonderful life together.

Barbara Coles Editor P.S. We’re looking for weddings to feature in our Fall/Winter 2020 issue of BRIDE. Although we can only use a limited number in the magazine, we post all of them online. Interested? Visit bridenh.com to submit your wedding.

Painted roses, farm-to-table reception food, lacy invitations, cake swings — these are just some of the things we love.

Balloons bring joy and festivity to any party or celebration, so why not include them in your wedding? Tie them to signage or use them to mark certain spaces like the gift table. You can also build a balloon wall or arch, or create the effect of falling balloons like the Pop Drops pictured here from Eye Candy Balloons. Each balloon holds a smaller balloon inside that includes a surprise for guests when they are popped with popping wands. eyecandyballoons.com

The Look of an Heirloom When you raise your glasses to toast at your reception, you can add elegance to the moment with beautiful hand-cut crystal flutes. Gilford-based Pepi Herrmann, one of only a handful of master crystal cutters in the country, has revived the lost art of Brilliant cut crystal.

On the Horizon It’s long been a no-no in the floral industry, but now there’s shift toward flowers being tinted, dyed and sprayed. Alyssa Van Guilder of Apotheca Flowers, who loves what she calls “walking the line of trendy and timeless,” is pioneering the shift with floral elements like bright blue asparagus fern, pink pampas grass and purple painted roses. apothecaflowers.com

Beautiful floral accents aren’t just for centerpieces or bouquets, they also make for a great decoration to brighten up your wedding cocktail. Fill an ice tray a quarter of the way with water, add edible flowers face down and freeze. Once it is frozen, add more water to fill halfway and freeze it again.

Fill to the top and freeze again.

The lacy look of this invitation is accomplished with laser cut technology. Ashley Haglund, of Ashley Elizabeth Designs, says laser cut is big, especially with a pocket that holds the inserts. Add a belly band or ribbon, and you’ve got the complete package. ae-inivitations.com

Northern Light

Tucked into a deep valley amid the mountains of New Hampshire’s northernmost county is a place that, for centuries, has been a bright spot in that remote area. It’s The Balsams, a resort hotel named for the fragrant firs that surround it. It was the scene of many weddings until 2011, when it closed. Now it’s coming to life again, with new owners who plan to make it better than ever.

Photography | PHILBRICK PHOTOGRAPHY Gowns | A DAY TO REMEMBER BRIDAL BOUTIQUE

The familiar red roofs of the historic hotel provide a backdrop for an Anne Barge strapless mermaid gown with all-over beaded, lace-like embroidery.

Shown in the color fawn, it also comes in ivory.

It’s from the Blue Willow Collection available exclusively at A Day to Remember.

40 | New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE

A whimsical take on a forestry-inspired bouquet, it is made of garden hosta, wild blueberries, lavender, garden sage, sword ferns and dusty miller.

New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE | 41

The back of the gown shown on the previous page.

42 | New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE

A lace cap sleeve and sheer low back are featured on this light gold with ivory lace gown by Eddy K. The designer uses a mix of laces and on-trend latticework detailing to create a work of art. Also available in solid ivory. Exclusive to A Day to Remember.

New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE | 43

This gown, by Justin Alexander, features a timeless lace high neckline that pairs beautifully with a clean taffeta skirt, which is also available in silk Dupioni. The classic ballgown is accented with buttons leading down to the end of a chapel-length train.

Shown in nude/ivory, it also comes in solid ivory. Available exclusively at A Day to Remember.

44 | New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE

The on-trend hairstyles are loosely styled. The makeup is done in a soft color palette.

New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE | 45

With the look of being freshly gathered from the garden, this bouquet includes green Dutch hydrangea, poppy pods, scabiosa pods, fresh garden stock and thistle with silver dollar eucalyptus.

46 | New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE

This timeless color combination consists of white garden roses, fresh-picked clematis vine, green spider mum and tea roses with harvested baptesia for greenery.

Also a garden-gathered look, this bouquet is a soft palette of blush garden roses, lavender and delphinium.

A fun pop of color, this is “garden confetti”: Tina roses, purple thistle and tea roses with a touch of burgundy scabiosa.

New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE | 47

This gown from the Blue collection by Enzoani is a stretch georgette mermaid style featuring an alluring V-neckline and exquisite lace detailing on the illusion back. Crystal buttons on the back add a little sparkle. The gown also has a show-shopping train with intricate lace on tulle inserts. Available exclusively at A Day to Remember.

48 | New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE

A sheer illusion neckline that is “barely there” and a keyhole back are features of this lace trumpet gown from Eddy K. The champagne color of the underlay coming through the ivory lace combines to give a blush appearance to the gown. Also available in solid ivory. Exclusive to A Day to Remember.

New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE | 49

Cleaner styles with minimal lace and beading, like this one from Eddy K, are trending for the coming year. There’s also a resurgence of bows.

DESIGN/COORDINATION:

Events By Sorrell / PHOTOGRAPHY: Kate Preftakes Photography

There’s a certain purity about an old New England meeting house with its clean architectural lines, all-white paint and spare interior.

A perfect place to stage a wedding. Sorrell Downing, of Events By Sorrell, saw the possibilities at the Old Meeting House of Francestown, built in 1801. See what she and her talented team did.

54 | New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE

Vow books, like the “His and Hers” shown here, are trending.

“It’s much better than pulling out a crumpled piece of paper or a phone to read your vows,” says Sorrell Downing.

Elegantly simple place cards feature a wax seal, an artifact of the past that translates well to today’s weddings. “Wax seals are timeless,” Downing says.

New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE | 55

This minimalist setting for the ceremony allows both the couple and the colors to stand out.

56 | New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE

Gathered together with a deep pink ribbon, the loosely structured bouquet consists of red and pink roses, gerbera daisy, kangaroo paw, clematis, ranunculus, stock, wax flower, privet berry, eucalyptus, salal, grevalia and fern.

New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE | 57

58 | New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE

The couple takes a private moment, allowing a peek at the bride’s bright flowered shoes and the groom’s festive socks.

New Hampshire Magazine’s BRIDE | 59

For the wedding feast, the on-trend place settings include pottery, rose gold flatware and copper napkin rings. The acrylic table number is done in rose gold. “Copper and rose gold are very popular,” Downing says.

Cakes UNCOMMON

It’s based in the small North Country town of Jackson,

but Autumn Nomad’s reputation for cake artistry has spread worldwide — and that’s after just three years in business. The company’s owner and cake artist — Jaime Melfi — is the reason why. Her cake designs range from elegant to funky to whimsical, but, always, they push the envelope.

Casa Dragones Tequila There is no better way to show your bridesmaids your love than with Casa Dragones Tequila Blanco. Casa Dragones was founded in 2009 by Bertha Gonzalez Nieves; not only was she the FIRST female Maestra Tequilera ever, the company continues to be predominantly woman-run. Our tequila is produced in small batches and doesn’t require chasers — we recommend serving over a big ice cube and a grapefruit twist.
