With Valentines Day just around the corner how fitting that we discovered some old time wedding photos here at The Preserve in the midst of our renovations. These incredible wedding photos are of the Hayford family, which was the very first family to run and own the property as a B&B. We hope you enjoy viewing these "antique" photos as much as we did. Some bridal inspiration maybe?

First comes the proposal, next comes the Pinterest boards! Since the introduction of Pinterest, wedding planning has been taken to a whole new level of intensity. It has totally revolutionized the way couples plan their weddings. Pinterest is a wonderful tool to use as a spring board to start the planning and creative process. Often times brides become so overwhelmed with a plethora of unrelated images that it can be hard to focus in on their own "bridal style." So how does one determine their own unique style and start pulling all the elements together to tell their wedding day story? Say hello to the inspiration board.
We recommend starting with good old fashioned scissors, glue, and paper. Start clipping only your "must have" and "absolutely love" images. Clearing the bridal clutter we call it. Think of your inspiration board as the chance to tell your unique story and put your vision on paper. Having a visual of each chapter of your story will help you create an overall cohesive and polished looked. Here are a few snapshots of just one of the inspiration boards we have been working on for one of our spring 2016 brides.
January! With it brings the excitement of a fresh start, a new year, endless possibilities. How fitting then that we announce the opening of New Hampshire's newest premier White Mountain wedding and event venue; The Preserve at Chocorua. We are excited to announce that our family has purchased this beautiful 26 acre estate in Tamworth, New Hampshire and have begun the process of rehabbing and restoring it to it's original splendor. It is our goal to provide guests with the most modern of conveniences while maintaining the historic charm of the property. We are eager to update you as we make improvements to the property.
