Amy & Kenneth in Boothbay Harbor, ME

More than eight years after they first met, Amy and Ken planned a wedding with the beautiful Maine coastline providing much of the inspiration. The Bride Amy Leshin, 27, Senior Recruiter The Groom Kenneth Guiel, 30, Firefighter The Date September 5 Location was key for Amy and Ken. Their wedding's secluded spot on the Maine coast was reflected in nearly all of their wedding details. With a backdrop of the gorgeous Maine coast and the privacy of the wooded landscape, I selected greens and blues that would blend with the surroundings to showcase the natural qualities of the setting, Amy explains. Handmade details, from the programs and place cards (which featured a subtle shell theme) to the favors (conical gift bags filled with salt water taffy), also reflected the influence of the setting. At the reception, instead of a guest book guests wrote their wishes for the couple on Maine-theme, pre-addressed postcards which Amy and Ken received in batches for the next six months -- a charming way to keep the goodwill flowing.
