Best of Seacoast Weddings: Brianna Goncalves + Eric Lacroix

A photo with the grand Wentworth-by-the-Sea as a backdrop calls for a grand gesture.

One cu ink said “To my forever” and the other said “From your always.”

After an eighteen month engagement, it was actually happening.

All her life, Brianna envisioned a teal and gray wedding but cranberry and blue won the day.

The couple exchanged letters to read while they were each getting ready

Gold wooden letters with their initials rested against a wall of green hedge with flowers from the day.

Mini fruit tarts and other dessert items were added to the traditional wedding cake.

Brianna rocked the evening away, occasionally cooling down by the ice sculpture at the raw bar.

June 22, 2019 Rye, New Hampshire Brianna and Eric met in their freshman year at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Although she had “zero interest” in Eric at first, she finally agreed to a date—and within a month knew for sure he was “the one.” Knowing she was a huge planner, Eric proposed on a trip to the Bahamas in December 2017 with a June 2019 wedding in mind and immediately asked his bride-to-be: “Is a year and a half enough time to plan?” It was, but she started immediately. The couple admits that around six months prior to their date, they…

Emily Smith + Alexandre Klevitch

A beautiful fall day and the stately grounds of historic Hamilton House combined to create a scenic backdrop for Emily and Alexandre’s wedding. Alexandre’s tux from Madeleine’s Daughter.

Colorful macarons from La Maison Navarre, Portsmouth, NH.

The Hamilton House, a striking Georgian mansion, was built by shipping merchant Jonathan Hamilton in 1785.

Figs and raspberries were among the treats served to guests.

The couple’s tented reception lights up the night.

Emily’s bouquet included anemone, dahlias, spray roses, hydrangea, ranunculus, and eucalyptus.

October 2, 2017 South Berwick, Maine Fall was a recurring theme of Emily and Alexandre’s wedding at historic Hamilton House in Maine. “We wanted a beautiful outdoor venue,” says Emily, “and even though we were a little early for the most dramatic foliage, we were lucky enough to have a warm fall day.” Pumpkins were part of the day’s festivities. “When we were in college, the school had a glass-blowing major, and each year we bought a handful of glass pumpkins the students made, which we decorated our reception space with,” says Emily. The couple’s escort cards were white pumpkins…

Renee Bouchard and Sam Habashy

Sam and Renee make a dramatic entrance. Her bouquet contains roses, peonies and eucalyptus.

The Nesmith House in Lowell is a romantic wedding location.

A highlight of the Oval Room in the Nesmith House is a wall mural depicting the Lowell mills.

A stack of cheeses replaced a traditional wedding cake, with a parmesan base, brie, figs and flowers.

Lilac-scented soaps (handmade by Renee's mother) wrapped in vintage sheet music with the couple's initials make creative wedding favors.

Renee shares a light moment with friends, Juhree Ross (L) and matron of honor Melanie Luce (R).

Renee, a professional pianist, accompanies guests during their sing-along.

Lauren Hannon and Melanie Luce enjoy the ice cream sundae bar after the ceremony.

Melanie helps Renee with her elegant full-length veil.

August 7th, 2016 Lowell, MA As a wedding industry professional, Renee has been involved in thousands of weddings (she’s assistant manager of Madeleine’s Daughter, a bridal salon in Portsmouth, NH). So when she became engaged to Sam in 2016, she knew what she wanted: a surprise wedding. “I see hundreds and hundreds of weddings,” says Renee. “It’s hard to come up with something truly memorable. I wanted something unique. Fortunately, Sam was onboard with having a surprise wedding. Guests were invited to join the couple at a so-called engagement party at Nesmith House in Lowell; the couple only hinted that…
