Christine Helm + Matthew Fay
August 24, 2024
Rye Beach, NH

Christina and Matt’s true Seacoast wedding at Rye Beach “was all about sharing our love for Portsmouth and the Seacoast area,” says Christina. The couple also loved their hashtag, a play on their last names— —which was their wedding website as well. “We put a lot of time into coming up with our (out-of-town guest) recommendations on our website!” she adds. The bride says she looked “at probably every venue in New England,” and then ended up choosing Abenaqui Country Club, practically next door to where her parents live. Speaking of her outdoor summer wedding, she says, “I was going for a bright, joyful feel.”

Christina’s dress was a unique two-piece look that she says she never would have considered on her own. “The stylist (at Madeleine’s Daughter) brought out these two pieces together. I absolutely loved the top with the corset back, sort of my romantic-novel fantasy. That’s what sold it for me. And the skirt had just the right amount of fullness.” Her simple veil was a nod to the traditional, she says.

The moment Christina most cherishes was when she and Matt read their wedding vows to each other. “We wrote our own vows and read them out loud in front of everyone, which was kind of scary, but it felt like a special way to include all our guests and let them know more about us as a couple. So many people came up afterward and said how meaningful that was,” she adds.

Olivia Zdrojewski + Brendan O’Brien
June 15, 2024
Cape Neddick, ME

Precious memories of her family’s annual summer trips to Ogunquit filled Olivia and Brendan’s wedding day as they celebrated at Cliff House Maine in Cape Neddick. The
bride has known her husband since high school, and he used to go along with her family for the week. “It was cool that we were so close to such a special place for us,” says Olivia.

She adds that she was looking for a classic, elegant wedding feel with a touch of coastal New England. Even the carpet in the ballroom was a depth map of the ocean just off the coast, she
notes. “It was the most perfect day we could have asked for. One of our friends joked that we must have paid to have the sailboats pass by at just the right moment.”

If they hadn’t been married in Maine, Olivia says she would have chosen Disney World. “I’m a big Disney girl, and I always wanted that Disney princess feel on my wedding day.” With that in mind, she chose a dress that was “romantic and flowy, with good movement and twirl.” Her long, wavy hair “had a mermaid vibe,” and a long, simple veil that caught the sea breeze was her crowning touch. Her favorite memory, adds Olivia, “was walking down the aisle with my dad on a perfect day, and having all our loved ones there.”
