The Best Months to Get Married in Maine
Based on the most abundant selection of quality, locally sourced lush and luxurious, romantic blooms and foliage.
When planning a Maine wedding, the big decisions are typically made in this order:
Choose a wedding date & book a wedding venue
Hire a wedding planner
Hire a caterer
Hire a wedding photographer and videographer

Why should Maine grown flowers be a consideration when planning a wedding?
Locally sourced flowers support the local economy. While local flowers cost the same or sometimes more than imported flowers, the quality is better. The blooms are fresher, stronger, bigger, and brighter.
