Not to mention a seasonal bounty of $esh, local food that is renowned throughout the world. If you live here, you know what we’re talking about.

A Vermont Wedding is for a bride who loves the outdoors, is down to earth and appreciates the beauty and style in the world around her. A Vermont bride looks great without makeup with her hair in a ponytail or elegantly attired in an Oscar De la Renta gown. She knows who she is and where she wants to go including what is most important to her on her wedding day! With that being said a Vermont Bride is a smart woman who wants her wedding to be gorgeous and sophisticated and not just a run of the mill occasion. She wants her guests to be blown away by the countryside and beauty of the surroundings and the surprising comfort they feel while sipping champagne. A Vermont Bride CAN HAVE it all, from blue jeans to black tie or even white tie and tails, if she so desires.
