Island weddings always take an extra level of planning, of which Garrison of Garrison Anne Weddings and Events is no stranger to. Most everything (including all the flowers) had to be ferried over prior to being set up, and as Andrea of Honeysuckle Way put it, “getting all the pieces of a wedding to a remote island is an obstacle course.”

There was so much meaning woven into the details of Lucille and Kyle’s wedding day. Thistle was an important addition to their florals as they held the memory of the brides grandfather, who they wanted to honor closely on their day - especially while they were married on the very island that he spent his summers. We incorporated a watercolor thistle onto the invitation, and a line drawing of the church on both the details card and the custom map of the island.

Maine has incredible rugged coastlines and islands, and Squirrel Island is a picturesque hidden gem. The woven baskets used throughout the decor are iconic to Squirrel Island and are how residents tote things around. The ones used at the wedding belong to the bride’s grandmother.
