Today’s wedding is not only charming, but captures the essence of a rustic-chic barn style.  Cassie and Joel had their November wedding at The Round Barn with vintage details that truly represented the spirit of Vermont’s farm style.  The groom is a large animal veterinarian so keeping the style “true to Vermont” was not only a goal, but it was well executed by the couple with their handmade wedding details.  Texture including thistle and wheat were essential to their floral style and I love their palette of whites, peach and blue.

The bride wanted a textured bouquet which was designed with thistle, scabiosa pods, peach & white roses, ranunculus, dahlias, hypericum, dusty miller and accents of millet.  Cassie’s excitement as I delivered her bouquet made my day!

Their ceremony in the milking parlor featured a wreath of hydrangea, lotus pods, gerberas, roses, hypericum, wheat and thistle.

Antique cream buckets filled with snapdragons, thistle, eucalyptus, millet, roses, hydrangea and gerberas also framed the ceremony.

Eclectic milk bottles added an authentically rustic feeling to the barn.

A handmade XOXO burlap banner for the sweetheart table was just TOO CUTE!

Pails with a weathered patina were filled with hydrangea, roses, dahlias, thistle, dusty miller and agronis to add another eclectic element to the tables.

Maple cream favors of “Grandpa’s Stuff” were displayed on the wagon…

…And a chalkboard sign reminds guests not to forget their “stuff”!

A homemade horseshoe wreath of wheat adorned the family wedding photos.

Cassie & Joel had these signs made for the wedding day.

 I love the sign at The Round Barn directing guests to the reception, too!

Congratulations to Cassie and Joel who pulled together some fantastic details to create a warm & welcoming wedding filled with personalized details!  It was a truly Vermont-inspired event!  I can recall in our consultation as Cassie said, “I’m sure the flowers will be beautiful,” then Joel looked at her and said, “You’re going to be beautiful.”  It may have been the sweetest thing a groom’s ever said to a bride during a consult.  I told my husband that I got a good feeling about these two!

Teresa and Sean were married on 11-11-11 at The Ponds with about 40 close friends and family.  Their color palette of purples and whites brought a little color to the cool, almost snowy day.  The bride loves white callas and her bouquet included over 20 stems of mini callas for an elegant, romantic look.

I wrapped the stems with a lavender ribbon and blingy pins.

The maid of honor carried a few darker purple accents including purple stock, lavender & white roses, freesia and white hydrangea.

The bridesmaids carried bouquets of white and lavender to set them apart from the MOH.

Centerpieces in faux silver bowls were made up of white and purple hydrangea, lavender stock, roses and willow eucalyptus.

Here’s a closer look at the hydrangea and roses in the centerpiece.

Congratulations to Teresa and Sean!  It was clear that you were surrounded by loving, helpful friends and family on your big day and I hope it was fantastic!

Fall weddings in Vermont often go hand in hand with a foliage inspired color palette, but Natacia and Ross chose a different route for their October wedding at The Barn at Boyden Valley.  Burgundy, white and green made up the palette including fluffy white hydrangea, gorgeous burgundy dahlias and roses in whites and green.  This is a color combo that is both fun and sophisticated at once.  I think it also transcends season and could work for a wedding any time of year.  Here is a look at the flowers for the wedding party…

The bride carried a bouquet of white hydrangea, burgundy dahlias, scabiosa, roses, lisianthus and dusty miller for a silvery accent.

The bridesmaids carried green and white roses, dahlias, and scabiosa.

The ring bearer carried a small moss pillow.  We watched him pat the pillow throughout the vows.

Congratulations to Ross and Natacia on your nuptials!  You had quite a party going in the barn and I hope it was a dream day for you both!

It was an incredibly beautiful October day for Kristen and Chris’s wedding at The Round Barn.  The sun was shining, the temperature was warm and love was in the air.  This local Stowe, VT couple had a color palette with a nod to fall, but not an autumnal theme, so touches of lavenders and blues added a bit of contrast.  There were happy guests exploring the grounds as the couple took photos before the ceremony and as the band was warming up in the barn it was clear that this was going to be a fantastic party!

The bride carried a bouquet of orange dahlias, yellow callas, red spray roses, fresh lavender, freesia and ranunculus with hypericum berry accents.

 The bride did not have a traditional bridal party, but there were 3 adorable flower girls!

Wooden benches brought a rustic, Vermonty touch to the outdoor ceremony.

Guests were asked to select a stone to hold during the ceremony.

Colorful centerpieces included lilies, roses, dahlias, freesia, delphinium, sweet William and lavender.

Small mason jars added a little color to the cocktail tables.

The lighting in the barn by Sperry Tents was such a nice touch!

Candy favors in little burlap bags were a sweet take-home treat for guests!

Congratulations to Kristen and Dobby!  I am sure you and your guests partied the night away!  The day could not have been more beautiful and I hope it was perfect in every way.

Lauren and Mark’s destination wedding took place at The Ponds on a crisp, fall Vermont day.  It’s officially foliage season, the leaves are starting to strut their stuff and the view from the porch was full of color.  The style for their wedding was natural and elegant with a palette of deep purple (which in this flower family was more of a deep burgundy tone), white and green with some orange accent tones to bring out the seasonal fall tones.

The bride’s bouquet included green cymbidium orchids, burgundy dahlias, callas, white roses, mini green hydrangea and scabiosa.

Before we left the studio I took a shot of the bride’s bouquet with one of her attendant’s bouquets.  A few orange roses added a bit of contrast for the two bridesmaids.

The flower girl carried a pomander of plum mini carnations, orange spray roses and green dianthus.

The ceremony in the historic Round Church in Richmond featured a floral wreath on the pulpit.

Centerpieces in birch containers included agronis, orange & white roses, green hydrangea, burgundy dahlias and scabiosa.

A place card display with family wedding photos welcomed guests to The Ponds.

Custom signs added a rustic, personalized touch.

Congratulations to Lauren and Mark on your beautiful day!  This wedding came together with the entire family’s labor of love (including a father of the bride who was ready to unload our van full of flowers on the wedding day!!) and it’s lovely to see how all the planning came together.

It was another absolutely perfect Vermont day for Darcie and Kyle’s wedding at Basin Harbor Club.  A clear, sunny September sky and the perfect temperature made for a fantastic outdoor setting.  The style for their wedding was seasonal, natural and colorful with multicolored bouquets and rustic wooden boxes for the centerpieces.

The bride carried a bouquet of burgundy and orange dahlias, deep pink and red ranunculus, yellow freesia, orange spray roses, pink godetia, dianthus and deep blue delphinium.

Her six bridesmaids carried similar bouquets of red and orange spray roses, dianthus, dahlias, freesia, godetia and delphinium.

Color.  You’ve got to just love color.  It makes the transition from summer to fall feel so right!

The ceremony took place under the wedding arch adorned with a garland of Asiatic lilies, burgundy dahlias, green hydrangea, spray roses, delphinium and dianthus.

Cocktail hour by the lake looks so relaxing.

Centerpieces were designed in rustic wooden boxes filled with lilies, hydrangea, delphinium, dahlias, godetia and spray roses.

Darcie and Kyle are the first couple I’ve had who made a donation to VT Irene Flood Relief for their favors.

The tables were marked with animal paintings instead of numbers which were painted by the bride’s brother.  They were absolutely beautiful and so unique!  The elephants were just one of my favorites.

Darcie and Kyle are a local, Vermont couple who put a fun spin on their wedding day including a gumball machine of mint candies that reminded them of the restaurant where they met as co-workers.  (So sweet, right?!)  Congratulations on your beautiful wedding day!  You had a relaxed, casual approach to planning and were a pleasure to work with.  I hope your day was perfect in every way!
