Vermont Vows Magazine

The weather is unpredictable, especially during the most important day of your life. Don't worry over cold & rainy weather, accessorize with cute layers! Cardigans make great embellishments to traditional wedding dresses, or can add a stylish flair to bridesmaid dresses & can keep you warm during the coldest of nights!

Can't decide on the perfect color for your color palette? Add bright & sassy cardigans to a neutral palette for a splash of energy! Like the 1950s classic style? Add a vintage cardigan to an embroidered scoop neckline dress for a timeless look.

The proposal was a testament to their shared drive. On a walk celebrating the completion of a marathon, Pete’s knee met the ground. Laura spouted yeses before Pete could find words.
