Sending love and wishing a Happy First Anniversary (April 7) to a very special couple near and dear to us ❤️ Marie and Lance are high school friends of ours, and were engaged to be married, but life changed that. They found each other again years later, and made their dream come true 40 years later, to the day. They're proof true love is timeless and will win!

Some noisy but welcome visitors this week. Spring is almost here ❤️🌱

Happy First Anniversary to Tara and Connor! Their beautiful kicked off our season last year. Their fun take on the day just radiated throughout every moment. The date was significant to them, so they were ready to roll with whatever Mother Nature had in store. Miraculously, she delivered the best possible day - green grass, warm temps, and bright sunshine 🌞 These two deserved nothing less! We miss working with them so much, and wish them many more bright and joyful years together ❤🍾🥂

Valentine's Day may be over, but we believe love should be celebrated every day. Not by grand gestures, but through everyday thoughtfulness - an impromptu morning out for coffee, doing a household chore your partner totally hates doing for them (especially if you hate it, too!), a random "thinking of you" text during the day.

The same is true for your wedding day. Kurt had mentioned to Natalie that he'd always wanted to try a kransekake, a Norwegian wedding cake. We worked with her and kept it a secret for their elopement. That look on Kurt's face - do things that make each other feel like this all year ❤

A letter of gratitude and love to our couples ❤

Thank you!! What a fantastic year 2024 has been! In the past few weeks, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on how grateful I am to be in this exciting, extremely rewarding profession. But it’s all of you who put their trust in us that we’re most thankful for. Getting to work with and to know each of you has been an honor and pure joy! Through you, we’ve had the privilege to witness and play a part in moments that we hope are extraordinary and memorable not only to you, but are etched on our hearts as well.

Moments like the groom who gave a very emotional speech, thanking his parents for the love and unwavering support they gave him over the years so that he could become the confident person and successful professional he is. Moments like the overjoyed look on the bride’s face when the groom surprised her and unveiled an ice cream cart he had personally made for the reception, as she had expressed a desire for one, but other options were already booked. Moments like seeing the MOB who spoke little English and was self-conscious and apprehensive about fitting in at the pre-ceremony activities, laughing, joking, and generally having the time of her life, thanks to the wonderful hair/makeup team and photographer who made her fears melt away (and deeply grateful to the bride who later hugged and thanked me for making them all “feel at home and like family”, which was so important to her. Cue my 😭). Or the moment exactly 40 years after their original planned wedding date, the couple that married after realizing they really were meant to be together.

These and countless other moments over the years are why we feel blessed to have this job. Waking up each morning and looking forward to working with the warmest, most fun couples, getting to know you better, helping you with the next planning step or to tackle a challenge, is a true high. We simply cannot thank you all for the trust you placed in us. You are the reason we do, and love, what we do.

Much love to you all! We wish you a 2025 full of endless joy, health, and love, and look forward to more extraordinary, memorable moments in the years ahead! ❤

Under the "things you may not know about me" category: for the past 30 years, I've made holiday wreaths. In that time, I've made and sold thousands, and still haven't gotten tired of doing them! I love experimenting with new designs. These are a couple from this year (the red bow one is mine 😉), and am already thinking of new ideas for next year! What's your hidden creative passion?

We're thrilled to (finally!!) share that to end an amazing, successful 2024 season, we had the cherry-on-top late October wedding of Numan and David. Two of the kindest, most genuine people we've had the pleasure of working with, their day was blessed with the most perfect fall weather, and full of laughter as well as tears of sincere gratitude and joy. From the start, they expressed a strong desire for a celebration full of romance while also showcasing quintessential Vermont fall-themed activities (in which their Southern families and friends engaged full-throttle!). They kept us on our toes with ever-evolving plans and ideas, and the results were nothing short of spectacular!
We wish these two wonderful souls, who are the epitome of being made for each other, a lifetime of love, joy, and endless adventures ❤❤

At sunset on an absolutely stellar mid-October day, we had the honor of hosting Astrid & Tye's intimate wedding! They had just hunkered down at the Fort Meyers hospital where they both worked for days during hurricane Milton the week before, and were so thankful to have made the trip to VT.

It was just their immediate family in attendance, but oh, what an amazing day. There was so much laughter, so much love, and soooo relaxed! They were a reminder of what is truly important on a wedding day - each other and loved ones - all the rest is just window dressing.

It was a day that was difficult to see end, and so hard to say goodbye. Over the couple of days, they truly made me feel as though I was part of their wonderfully warm family.

Wishing them a lifetime of laughter, love, and all the best life has to offer ❤❤❤

Two weeks ago, we had the privilege of hosting the most special, unforgettable event! Shay & Tyler married under picture-perfect skies, surrounded by friends and family showering them with so much love! Knowing Shay and her family forever and having many of our neighbors in attendance made it special to us as well. The day was full of personal touches, including a custom-made ice cream cart Tyler created as a surprise for Shay (keeping it a secret until dessert time took a little maneuvering!) We wish these two beautiful people the best life can offer and send them so much love ❤❤
