Ashley & Stephanie – A Fall Wedding That Redefined Cozy at The Glen House | Sunday River, Newry, Maine
High in the mountains of western Maine, Ashley and Stephanie celebrated a wedding that felt completely their own. Set at The Glen House in Newry during peak foliage, their fall celebration was filled with color, heart, and personal details that reflected who they are in every way.
Morning Calm and Cozy Prep
The morning started quietly in the warmth of the Glen House, where both brides got ready side by side. Laughter filled the space as music played and coffee brewed in the background. Dressed in matching white sweatsuits, they shared easy smiles and a few quiet moments with their fur-legged kids before the day began.
A Ceremony Framed by the Mountains
By midafternoon, the mountains glowed with peak fall color. Guests gathered on the open lawn as Ashley and Stephanie exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends, all wearing custom embroidered matching sweatsuits. It was a beautiful blend of comfort, connection, and the relaxed energy that fit the season perfectly. With the foliage at its brightest and the mountains stretching behind them, the ceremony felt both intimate and timeless.
A Burst of Color and Joy
After the ceremony, the newlyweds celebrated with a burst of color. Friends and family filled the air with clouds of orange, yellow, green, and blue, wrapping the couple in laughter and excitement. As the colors faded, Ashley and Stephanie wandered through the woods and along mountain overlooks, the light softening into a golden glow. It was one of those Maine fall moments that feels almost cinematic, perfectly still yet alive with color.
Dinner Beneath the Bistro Lights
As the sun disappeared behind the ridge, guests gathered by the patio firepit for s’mores and toasts under strings of bistro lights. The brides made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, and then joined their fathers for a combined parent dance that brought smiles all around. Dinner followed with a hibachi experience under the stars, where laughter and the sound of sizzling food carried through the cool mountain air.
The night felt calm and content, filled with the warmth of the fire, the beauty of the landscape, and the joy of everyone gathered to celebrate.
Nothing Fancy, Just Love
Ashley and Stephanie’s wedding wasn’t about extravagance. It was about creating something real, something that reflected them. From embroidered guest sweatsuits to their matching silk-style wedding outfits that balanced comfort and elegance, every choice spoke to their personalities and the bond they share.
Their theme, “nothing fancy, just love,” said it best. The day was cozy, colorful, and deeply heartfelt. It celebrated the kind of love that doesn’t need to be overexplained, it simply shines in every glance, every laugh, and every moment shared.
