daisies & pearls | MERRYMAKING

CREATIVE, DETAIL INFUSED OCCASIONS

My name is Sarah Goodwin and my greatest aspiration in establishing daisies & pearls, is exercising my creativity to deliver a truly personalized, detail infused occasion. I have been described as a “perfectionist and go-getter”; while in the same breathe “the life of the party”. My diversity can be best demonstrated by an obsession with both, Martha Stewart and Rod Stewart.

Born and raised in the Finger Lakes region of New York, I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design with a minor in Art History from Rochester Institute of Technology. Upon graduating I headed to New England, working as an interior designer on large scale corporate projects in Boston and Connecticut; before settling in Maine to live “the way life should be”. My artistic side is consistently screaming to be unleashed. I continue my passion through consulting, exploring new realms of the design world, planning corporate events and most recently weddings.

My hobbies include cooking, crafting, gardening and sewing. I spend my free time with my husband, Chad and our two beloved German Short Haired Pointers, Daisy and Pearl, for which the business pays tribute to. With a life philosophy to always think outside the box, I refuse to fall into the cookie cutter category. My flair and attention to detail commands me towards a quest for inspiration and an overall aesthetic in everything I do.

Wolfe’s Neck Farm

April 18, 2011

Call me bias, but Maine is truly one of the most beautiful places to be married. Its rocky coast with majestic islands, appear to be straight from a master piece hung in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. One of the many things I love about being a wedding coordinator is the treasures of Maine I discover along the way. Wolfe’s Neck Farm in Freeport is one of these gems.

I was elated when Shirley and Perrin contacted me with interest in daisies & pearls assisting with their August wedding at Wolfe’s Neck Farm. Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Shirley and Perrin during a trip to Freeport. One of our stops was a visit to the breathtaking setting of their special day. The gray skies couldn’t take away from the amazing view.

It is such an honor when brides and grooms allow me to share in such a cherished time in their lives. The twinkle in their eyes when speaking of their big day is priceless. The best part of my Sunday; driving away from Wolfe’s Neck and looking in my rearview mirror to see my clients with their arms wrapped around one another, daydreaming of their wedding day.
