Designing for a small affair can be so exciting for me. Creating an intimate setting in a large space is managed by creating smaller spaces within, for guests to mingle and relax. From the lounge by the roaring fire, to the centrally located dance floor with clusters of Lanterns above, you get a feeling of being in your own little world. Custom wooden farm tables and old schoolhouse chairs lent to the charm. The ceremony was sealed with the release of 100 live monarch butterflies; all a surprise for the bride!

Due to the couples request for privacy, the photos above are just a small sampling of what this wedding had to offer.  A birch Chuppah covered in curly willow and privet berries framed the mountain on the edge of the pond for  magical ceremony!  A lounge under the stars, complete  firepit  (and smores!) gave this wedding a taste of Vermont.  12 large terrarium lanterns filled with votives,  flickered over the dance floor which was centrally located in front of  the massive stone fireplace.   The sophistication and softness of the flowers and details were the perfect mix to  bring the rustic outdoors to a new level!
