Pick your pallete {Equestrian Elegance}
Published in Vermont Vows Magazine Spring/Summer 2009
“For an outdoor wedding imbued with the spirit and style of the polo-club set, crisp red, white, and blue really set the tone. Perfectly proper and utterly relaxed at the same time, this combination lends itself to a reception that’s as visually captivating and as fun as a chukker brilliantly played. Blue and white striped linens give outdoor tables a graphic punch; everything else stays simple—white plates on silver chargers, neatly stitched and buttoned rings around red linen napkins, and clusters of bright red dahlias, roses, and sweet peas in vintage trophies, by Tara Pollio Floral-Event Design.
Antique -silver, in simple shapes and patterns, is an elegant and slightly understated complement to the bold colors. Vivid red currants in a miniature trophy bowl are a fun and -unexpected element at the table. Equestrian-inspired accents, like the leather -buttons on these napkin rings, pull this look together.
An invitation by That’s Inviting is a colorful standout. A soft bouquet of begonias, dahlias, -hydrangea, and hellebores is complemented with a bold navy and -yellow striped ribbon in this arrangement by Tara Pollio Floral-Event Design….” Fresh picked

Though we’re well into summer, this winter wedding shot by Leigh Miller was too beautiful not to share. Vermont in the winter seemed like the perfect choice for Nili and Anthony’s wedding - the couple fell in love there in that season, Nili loves all things wintry and cold, and it was a good meeting place for their families from New York and Montreal (not to mention, logistically it was near enough to the couple’s home in New York to explore venues and meet with vendors!). I think these photos beautifully capture the rustic elegance that the couple was aiming for…
Nili tells us about the stationery: We used trees as a reoccurring theme throughout the wedding. We felt they represented life and growth and embodied what starting a new chapter together represents. A fir tree with our name was in our wedding logo that we used pretty much on everything we could (the cake, coasters, stir sticks, tote bags, wedding CDs given out as favors, invites, programs, menu cards, etc.) which gave things a more dressy, elegant feel. We printed most of our paper products on sheets of actual walnut wood (love, love walnut and have it everywhere through our house) which gave it the rustic textured look. Cards of Wood and Betsy White helped us design our custom invites, menu cards, programs, RSVP postcards and Thank You cards to keep everything within the theme.
Nili’s green shoes by Christian Louboutin fit in perfectly with the color scheme: chartreuse, moss green, and chocolate brown.
Nili wore a dress by Amsale. Anthony wore a tuxedo and tie by Hugo Boss and shoes by Kenneth Cole.
The quaint village of Woodstock, complete with a covered bridge, was the perfect setting for this winter wedding.
All of the flowers were created by Tara Pollio Floral Event Design.
The ceremony took place at the Murphy Farm in nearby Quechee, Vermont.
Nili purchased her birdcage veil from an Etsy vendor. After the ceremony, but before heading to the reception site, everyone joined in a toast using Prosecco instead of Champagne as a nod to Anthony’s Italian heritage. Before joining their guests, Anthony and Nili took a horse and carriage ride around the town, one of their favorite parts of the day.
For the ceremony, the 80 guests moved on to the Woodstock Inn, which was decorated with tree branches, logs, moss and candles.
Coasters and stir sticks with the couple’s motif were provided by For Your Party. The custom menu tried to use as many Vermont ingredients as possible, including local cheeses and organic produce. Each place setting included a menu printed on walnut wood, as well as a tree sapling favor wrapped in burlap.
Guests were invited to help themselves to a chocolate and green candy buffet.
Each table was named after a different tree, and wrapped centerpieces with birch bark. Nili and Anthony Goccoed the table numbers themselves, along with several other items, including a tote bag for guests. The week before the wedding, Anthony and his best man drove to New Hampshire and chopped off part of an already fallen tree, and used the stump as their cake stand. The cake was carrot cake, with Vermont maple syrup filling and buttercream frosting.
After dinner, the couple enjoyed dancing the night away with all of their guests. But I just had to end with this beautifully sweet photo… Congratulations Nili and Anthony - best wishes to you both! And a big thank you to Leigh Miller for sending over these photos and sharing this wedding with us!

Devon and David- August 2008 Hildene Estate- Manchester, VT
Vibrant, fun warmth with sophisticated cool pewter undertones. This was
definitely my favorite palette of the season. The contrast of the bright orange and cool
pewter were so unique and set the tone for a glamorous and fun wedding!
