There’s something undeniably magical about an intimate wedding. Stripped down to the core elements of love, laughter, and thoughtful details, these types of wedding celebrations focus on the little things. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that prioritizes quality time with loved ones amidst stunning scenery, look no further than hosting your day at the Adair Inn in Bethlehem, NH.
The shoot below was documented for New Hampshire Bride. Local New Hampshire Planner and Stylist, By Emma B, crafted the most incredible intimate wedding day. The goal of our shoot was to show that although you’re having a scaled down wedding, you can still focus on the beautiful details.
And just wait until you see how she transformed the courtyard of the inn.

A Picture-Perfect Summer Adair Inn Wedding
I was so excited with how we lucked out with the weather. It was perfect temperature, for a New England Summer day. It can get HOT here in the White Mountains, so for us to get a beautiful 75 degree day was an absolutely dream.
Often times, couples who are looking to elope or have an intimate wedding with family, need or want a venue. It can make it really easy to have everything in one place. The getting ready, ceremony, and dinner party. This is what I love about B&Bs like Adair.
An Intimate Ceremony with florals by Clementina Floral
The ceremony itself was beautifully crafted by Emma and Clementina Florals. With rows of chairs, candles and stunning floral arrangements, the ceremony set up was one to remember. Just imagine your loved ones sitting side by side as they watch the two of you get married with the lush greens behind you.
Adding in fun elements to your Adair Inn Wedding
Following the ceremony, the couple stole a few moments for themselves, capturing the magic of the day and fun activities they added in. Adding a touch of vintage flair, they took a little ride with a stunning antique black car. This classic vehicle provided a unique and timeless contrast to the vibrant summer scenery, creating a picture-perfect snapshot of their special day.
Afterwards, they shared some ice cream from Super Secret Ice Cream based in Bethlehem NH. The little ice cream cart is so adorable and can cater to ice cream scoops or even ice cream sandwiches!
