Vermont Vows Magazine

Happy Halloween, Vermont Vows and WellWed readers! Was anyone else a bride for Halloween as a little girl? Take this opportunity to indulge in some tasty sweets and treats and have a great holiday!

Every bride is glowing on their wedding day - but that's no reason to resist enriching your hair with a little extra shine. This week's bridal booty consists of Ted Gibson styling products including Hair Sheets, Clarity Color Shampoo, and Clarity Color Conditioner. Especially handy for brides, the Hair Sheets give hair a sophisticated and effortless look, as well as a formula rich in vitamins and silk amino acids.

The Essex Resort and Spa in Essex, Vermont - the areas only AAA four diamond resort - offers a number of customizable wedding packages prepared by their team of experienced wedding professionals.The excitement of planning a wedding and the bustle of the event itself can turn into a stressful ordeal if you're not careful-- so what better place to celebrate than a spa? Calming treatments the night or morning before your wedding will center you as you face your special day while invigorating treatments will ground you the morning after.

One of the best parts of working for a wedding magazine is getting the chance to see all of the beautiful images that were taken over the last wedding season. These inspire us to pursue romance, and occasionally make our hearts swoon. These are just a small handful of our favorites from recent days.

We are just 12 days away from the Vermont Wedding Affair - a luxury bridal event like no other! Immerse yourself in the visual inspiration, the informative and interesting seminars and workshops, and the soothing pampering sessions of our spa area. Take in the latest couture wedding looks during our runway fashion show, and meet with dozens of Vermont's most talented wedding professionals in an intimate setting designed to be an experience rather than a typical bridal exposition.

We received this photo shoot in the mail recently and as soon as we started looking through the images, we were swooning. Romantic and charming, chic and ethereal, this photo shoot has a soft equestrian theme to it. We love the soft colors, the breeziness of everything, and of course that gorgeous horse.
