Vermont Vows Magazine

In between work, life, and love, I came upon the next fashion inspiration for this week, inspired by Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. I was mesmerized by the fashion throughout the entire movie, but especially by all the little purses, which were twirling on the wrist of every other flapper Allen cast. Whether it be a clutch, a wristlet, or a little purse from Paris, these accessories, we imagine, could be on the wrist of every other bride.

Located in the Green Mountains, The West Monitor Barn is a classical structure that will enhance the timelessness and beauty of any wedding ceremony. With a hosting capacity of 200 people, the barn can be molded to suit the style and tastes of the bride and groom. Guests can play bocce or croquet while sipping cocktails. Every moment here is a photo-op especially with Vermont's third highest mountain, Camel's Hump, in the background.

Tamera and Sean decided on a woodsy Vermont wedding, and when they tied the knot near their summer cabin, they gave their big day a vintage spin.  “I’ve always wanted to get married in Vermont where I grew up, and Tasha Tudor with her meringue mushrooms and forest parties inspired me the most,” says the bride.

Dear Brides-to-be, glass vases filled with a bouquet of flowers are beautiful without a doubt, but they're a little on the traditional side for some of our more adventurous brides. Dare to be different and try a homemade moss vase with fresh grown flowers to give your wedding attendees a surprise. Moss Wedding Centerpieces, created by Laurie Cinotto and brought to you by Once Wed, are a lovely and unique DIY for any wedding.  

What You’ll Need:

As we all know, Vermont is known for its high quality cheeses. Fat Toad Farm produces farmstead cheese, meaning all the mil used in cheese production comes from the farm. Fat Toad Farm produces five distinct fresh goat cheeses: Fresh Chévre, Maple Chévre, Sundried Tomato and Basil Chévre, Ginger Cilantro Sesame Chévre, and Olive Lovers’ Chévre.

Walking along the beach on a gorgeous day in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, holding the hand of the person you love sounds like the perfect dream. Well, this isn't a dream. It simply describes one of the many picturesque moments shared between Christy and Jay on their wedding day. The couple along with 60 of their closest family and friends made the trip from Chicago to Mexico to celebrate their nuptials in style.

Certainly not for the faint of heart...purple palettes pack a punch, regardless of season. This monochromatic scheme lends itself to generating a luxurious intensity that transforms any event into an illustrious affair. Subtly tie in playful purple (with help from a few of our fav's above), such as tulle shoe clips, a dog-kerchief (for your four-legged ring bearer), invitingly covered bales of hay & certainly, don't forget something sweet!
