This was a wonderful celebration with so many fun and beautiful elements.  Alex is a  lighting designer in Boston, and her friends all banded together to execute her vision of  a dance floor on the lawn, lit with a canopy of white lights.  It was a gorgeous night, and the Lake House never looked so beautiful.  Alex and Ashley also wanted the trees on the outskirts of the lawn uplit, and so the guests danced the night away on a perfect summer evening.  Congratulations Ashley and Alex!

Another uncharacteristically cold day, especially for the 4th, but this was truly a beautiful wedding!  Melanie chose light pink, dark pink and light green paper lanterns and flowers, and the combination was just gorgeous.  Although we had lots of folks huddled around the fireplace early on, they warmed up with lots of dancing and great company.  We wish Mel and Mike all the best!!!

Butterfly Kisses!

Although the weather was uncharacteristically cold, this wedding had a warm feel because of the love and happiness the guests felt for Kaylie and Adam.  They are a sweet couple who now live in North Carolina, but wanted to be surrounded by family and friends in Vermont for their wedding day.  Kaylie and her Dad enjoyed a dance together on our porch to Butterfly Kisses, and while they were dancing, the guests all released monarch butterflies.  It brought a tear to everyone’s eye, including mine!  We wish Kaylie and Adam all the best as they start their new life together.
