Wedding Flowers by Butera The Florist

Butera The Florist is a floral design studio focused solely on weddings and larger parties. We specialize in exquisite floral design with a modern Euro edge. Our service area includes the Greater Blue Hill Peninsula, Bar Harbor, and the Acadia region of Downeast Maine. For more than four decades our wedding and party clients have appreciated our ability to match BUTERA artistry to their own original style.

1980 was the beginning of Butera The Florist, with a vision of bringing floral artistry to our hometown of York, PA. Now some four decades later, that God given talent and passion still exudes.

Vince is a nationally known floral designer and speaker who has been awarded membership in American Academy of Floriculture, American Institute of Floral Designers and Professional Floral Communicators International. He and Carolyn, his wife of 42 years, fulfilled their dream of living in Downeast Maine and moved their home and business to Sedgwick in 2021, after being 4th generation summer residents of Swan’s Island, ME.

Word: a Blue Hill Literary Arts Festival

Word is a three-day, annual literary festival in Blue Hill, gathering a community of readers and writers to celebrate the written and spoken word alongside those who may not typically be engaged in those pursuits.

While the Blue Hill Peninsula has a rich and vibrant artistic and literary tradition, most literary events occur piecemeal and during the busy summer months while the shoulder season of summer/fall offers few events. In addition, there is no unifying community structure that brings word-lovers together to celebrate. Establishing a festival to occur each October will encourage year- round residents and visitors to connect with one another, enjoying author readings, workshops, performances, and panels without the distractions of the peninsula’s hectic summer schedule. Word will share and promote the many voices of Maine, including local voices not always given the opportunity to be heard, and will seek out diverse voices to ensure a full and rich cultural experience.

In addition to events scheduled throughout the weekend, a literary marketplace will serve as a central meeting ground for the festival, providing vendors and nonprofits an opportunity to share information about their roles in the literary life of the peninsula, as well as encourage festival-goers to interact and engage in crafts and collaborative activities.

In addition to the festival, Word promotes literary events year-round.
