Vermont Vows Magazine

With Lauryn's rich family history in Greensboro, Vermont, Lauryn & Conor knew it was the perfect location for their nuptial celebration. The reception was held at the Lakeview Inn - a Bed & Breakfast run by Lauryn's family. Lauryn's family home on Lake Caspian was the location for the rehearsal dinner.

Whitney & Christopher chose the picturesque state of Rhode Island for their lovely nuptial celebration largely in part because they both had deep personal connections there. Whitney is a native to the area, and both she & Chris graduated from Brown, in Providence. When it came time to choose a wedding locale, nowhere could be more perfect Portsmouth & Middleton!

In addition to yummy treats, fine wines & luxe, bright pink decor elements, the couple also took care to celebrate Christopher's Dutch heritage & to make sure their special day exuded fun & spontaneity!

Suzanne & Paul celebrated their winter wonderland ceremony in Bolton, VT. Growing up in Vermont, Paul knew he wanted to get married in VT & it didn't take much to convince outdoorsy Suzanne that snowy Bolton was the perfect location.

The color palette featured light blue & dark blue, with snowflakes influencing the decor. Hundreds of snowflakes hung from the ceiling to bring the snowy outdoors in. An old chair-lift was brought in & fit perfectly with the winter theme. The "snowflake" girl threw snowflake confetti instead of flower petals - very fitting!

Chloe & Rafael's nuptials were celebrated in the beautiful country of New Zealand. Known for breathtaking scenery & natural lifestyle, the environmentally-friendly city of Auckland was the perfect location for the couple. Chloe & Rafael wanted to incorporate both of their birth countries - Rafael is Brazilian - into the ceremony, combining Brazilian & New Zealand traditions. Cupcakes with New Zealand & Brazil flags was a unique way of connecting both worlds.

Megan & Justin's Vermont wedding took place in the southern town of Marlboro. Vacationing in Vermont every year to visit family friends, or to snowboard at Jay Peak, the couple fell in love with the Green Mountain State, & decided Vermont was their dream location.

Against the stunning backdrop of rugged Kelowna, British Columbia, Ashley & Dylan tied the knot in an elegantly romantic ceremony simply bursting with joy, whimsy & fun. A striking palette of verdant greens & rich purples set the tone for a truly unique nuptial celebration!

On a beautiful fall day, Laura and Andrew tied the knot at the Round Barn. Set in the heart of Mad River Valley, this was the perfect venue for the two law school loves!

This farm chic wedding incorporated many things that Laura had been collecting over their engagement period. As the bride stated, "You can take the girl out of New York, but you can't take New York out of the girl." Many visions throughout the wedding were based around her dress.

What better way to celebrate a 29th birthday than with a wedding? That’s exactly what Dawn and Sean did with their “double-party” wedding day on the day of Dawn’s birthday.

Garden themed décor filled the beautiful white tent and created a forest-like atmosphere. That, along with the floral arrangements painted a backdrop of beauty throughout the reception.

“The fact that Sean and I are such fun-loving people who aren’t afraid to laugh at ourselves is what kept the happy mood for the whole evening,” Dawn says.

Alicia and Tony were married outside, under an apple tree that inspired part of their decor—each guest’s place setting was marked with an apple picked from a nearby orchard Alicia had frequented as a child. Both the bride and groom recall as a favorite part of their day the moment when a streak of bright sunshine broke through the clouds as they said their vows. In true California fashion, the couple performed a wine ceremony at the wedding, using wine from a friend’s vineyard.

"Where there's a will there's a way," is an age old adage that proved to be true for Del'Rae & Brian. Having met nearly eight years ago, Del'Rae & Brian had begun their relationship as great friends. After a few years of friendship, the two became smitten with each other and began dating. A romantic at heart, Brian chose the Christmas season as the perfect time to ask Del'Rae to be his wife. There isn't a better way to begin the holiday season than with a betrothal!

Married at the Sugarbush Resort, Kerry & Tyler celebrated their nuptials in true Vermont style: birch tree centerpieces were placed in the middle of each table and the couple was joined alongside a breathtaking mountaintop view. Bridesmaids wore a deep Italian plum color, which worked perfectly against the bride's white gown and bucolic backdrop of the resort.

The wedding came together around one thing: the dress. Before buying her dress, Courtney was really unsure of which direction she wanted the wedding to go. But once she saw the dress, it transformed everything.

"I knew then that I wanted the whole wedding day to be as elegant and beautiful as my dress," Courtney said.

And it was.

With a reception filled with gourmet food and candy bowls of excellence, Courtney and Stephen's favorite moment was during their first dance, when their two-year-old son was able to watch them, closely.
