On Meredith and Vince's wedding day, elegant simplicity let their love for each other take center stage.  Set at the scenic Quechee Inn on Marshland Farms, the couple's passion for the organic feeling of the outdoors inspired many of their choices, such as vibrant flowers in each bouquet and adorable handmade signs to direct guests to the ceremony.  Other personalized touches--many of which boasting the DIY flair of the bride herself--made the celebration completely their own, such as Meredith's vintage-y fascinator and the frosting cat and dog that joined the happy couple on top

Halloween is almost here, so why not indulge your inner child with this sweet treat?
