I have fond memories of coming home from school to a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies and a tall glass of cold milk.  A delicious snack like that doesn't necessarily have to be for children only, with that said, today's inspiration are milk and cookies.  Adults, feel free to indulge in this infamous childhood snack.  Have a cookies and milk buffet table at your wedding reception and let your inner child go crazy with this treat.  With all of these ideas, who could resist?

Blush, peony, pink can be the height of soft girlishness, or exquisitely subdued. It can transform your wedding into a truly ethereal affair. Use this color in anything from your bouquet, to your wedding cake, to the dresses in your line of bridesmaids. This shade of blush pink is a perfect color for any wedding, from seaside soirees, to cute countryside gatherings.

Ilona and Dennis had a charming Vermont wedding at The Skinner Barn where colorful hanging lanterns, twinkle lights, and bright colors like pink, purple and green accented the outdoorsy space. “We wanted to use as many local elements as possible! Our favors were made by our friend who recently opened the Vermont Krunch Toffee Company. And the barn setting was beyond spectacular. It gave our guests a great view of the idyllic Vermont scenery,” says Ilona.

Called an "illusion" neckline, this style is something that brides everywhere have begun to incorporate into their wedding gown fantasies. Almost like a riddle, it can appear both vintage but very modern, and both modest but very daring at the same time. With it surprising versatility, we imagine this style in anything from a romantic garden wedding, to a classic cathedral white wedding.

The farm's post and beam pavilion is perfect for a wedding ceremony while the 1000 square foot stone patio is ideal for an intimate gathering of about 30 people.

Every detail of Meaghan and Patrickís wedding is stunning!  We're awed by deep summer colors like indigo, violet and lavender in the arrangements by Silver Toad Florists.  Photos here by Polis Photography illustrate the beauty of all things Vermont, The Inn at Essex, gorgeous greenery, and of course, ice cold Magic Hat.  We adore Meaghan and Patrick's truly elegant and nuanced style: classic apparel, one dazzling pair of turquoise heels, and a little o

Even though it was their big day, Andrea and Blair wanted their guests to enjoy their wedding ceremony to the fullest as they were already overjoyed knowing they would soon be sharing forever with the person of their dreams. "Every decision that went into the wedding planning was framed by the question, 'Does this make for a great guest experience?'" Andrea says. The couple tied the knot in Vero Beach, Florida which meant a good bit of traveling for their guests, who were coming mostly from Atlanta, Georgia and Tallahassee, Florida.
