<p>From <a href="http://alannascully.com/" target="_blank">Alanna Scully Photography</a> &#8230; <em>There is something about a red barn that just makes me feel at home.  When that red barn is in Vermont and you’ve got a beautiful fall day, it’s even better.  I asked my photographer friends (who became husband and wife this summer!) Debbie and Jared Burns to model for me as I set up a stylized shoot at the gorgeous West Monitor Barn in Richmond, VT.</em></p>
<p><em>It was Columbus Day weekend, which was by far the three best days of fall weather I have ever seen in Vermont.  It was perfect shooting weather and the late afternoon light was breathtaking, as was my couple.  I asked Nicole D’Agata of the Painted Tulip in Waterbury to help out with some beautiful florals for our table and for our bride and groom, and the amazing staff at the Vermont Tent Company provided the rest of our set.  When I edited these pictures, I was reminded of how great love is and how nice it was to spend an afternoon with Debbie and Jared, a couple who isn’t afraid to show their affection and share their joy with the world.  Love like this, much like a red barn, can make you feel right at home.</em></p>

<p><em>When Matthew proposed, he worked hard to surprise me (not an easy task to surprise a nosey girl like me!). One night, Matthew told me that he had to work late in Maryland and would not be able to come visit for the weekend. I made dinner plans with my friends at the Blue Talon in Williamsburg. During dinner, Maddie told me that she just received a text message that there was a research group at the Williamsburg Lodge and she really wanted to go get their autographs. After dinner, Maddie, Kaci, and I drove to the Williamsburg Lodge until Maddie stopped her car and asked me if she knew of a garden near the Lodge because that was where the group was meeting. I, still oblivious to what was going on, said &#8220;Well there is the rose garden where Matt&#8217;s parents got engaged to your left.&#8221; Maddie swerved her car to the front of the rose garden and Kaci and Maddie both screamed &#8220;Get out of the car!&#8221; while speeding off with me still thinking they were playing a trick on me. I decided to walk down the stairs of the sunken rose garden only to find no one there. I kept walking until I saw Matthew come out from behind an archway with a huge smile on his face. Matthew walked toward me, knelt down on one knee with an open box in his hand, and asked me to marry him in the same spot that his father asked his mother to marry him. Matthew then told me that he planned a weekend for us in Ocracoke, North Carolina to celebrate our engagement!</em></p>
<p><em> While planning our wedding, I knew I wanted our personalities to shine through in every aspect. Both Matthew and I have traditional, classic taste with a modern twist. We decided to have our wedding ceremony in the Catholic Church where my parents were married and where I grew up. Matthew’s father is an Anglican pastor, so we wanted to incorporate both of our families’ religious traditions. He gave a memorable and personal sermon that made the ceremony seem intimate even with a room full of 400 people. The ceremony music was also very important to us. We had a trumpeter, organist, a string quartet, and a soloist who all beautifully performed songs we selected together. As I walked down the aisle, I wore my great grandmother’s diamond and sapphire ring as my something old, borrowed, and blue. My grandmother passed away one month before my wedding, so honored her by carrying her handkerchief in my bouquet.</em></p>
<p><em> Matthew and I chose the Chrysler Museum of Art for our reception venue not only because we loved the Renaissance style of the museum’s atrium, but also because I studied Art History in college. For the flowers and décor, I wanted a romantic atmosphere with blush tones, ivory, and metallics. My team at Isha Foss Events transformed my vision into a breathtaking display of draped arches, cascading crystals, and various tones of pink flowers. </em></p>
<p><em>While our wedding was a formal black tie affair, Matthew and I wanted our reception to be a party for our guests to enjoy good food and great music. For this reason, we decided to do heavy hors d’ ouvres instead of a sit down dinner. We had themed food stations around the museum with our favorite cuisine including fresh seafood on the rocks, a southern fare station, a beef carving station, and a chocolate bar. Instead of assigned seating, Isha Foss designed a lounge-like cocktail set up that outlined the dance floor and gave a contemporary spin on the traditional black tie affair.</em></p>
<p><em> My two favorite memories from our wedding day were our First Look and walking down the Chrysler’s marble staircase into the reception for the first time as husband and wife. Matthew and I met in the museum’s garden before the ceremony. I loved being able to share a quite and private moment with my soon to be husband before our night of craziness ahead. I will never forget the look on his face when he first saw me (luckily, my photographer Jeff Greenough captured this moment on film). My second favorite memory from our wedding day occurred when my father introduced us to our reception. I felt like royalty on my new husband’s arm as we walked down the staircase and moved straight into our first dance. The entire day was the perfect representation of Matthew and me as a couple, and it could not have been possible without the hard work of our family and all of our fabulous vendors.</em></p>

<p><em>On a beautiful August morning in the Old Church of Portland, Oregon, Lindsay Reichardt married her high school sweetheart, James Buckles. With a long-stemmed, gardenia studded, bouquet of pink roses in one hand, Lindsay’s other hand clung tightly to her new hubby for balance all day, as her Vera Wang ball gown of swirled tulle could barely squeeze down the isle. </em></p>
<p><em>A vintage Bentley drove Mr. &amp; Mrs. Buckles away to a private photo shoot while guests made their way to the Heritage ballroom in the Governor Hotel for the reception. Guests were greeted by the passing of savory hors d’ouveres: Jake’s famous crab cakes, cucumber tea sandwiches, salmon lox bruschetta, quiche, brie en croute bites, and caviar deviled eggs as well as a Parisian-inspired Patisserie spread, which displayed sweet treats: a croquembouche of cream puffs, topiary trees of fresh strawberries, triple berry and lemon tarts, panna cotta parfaits, meringues, biscotti, madeline cakes, palmiers, macaroons, brioche, mini-muffins, cheesecake bites, éclairs and napoleons! </em></p>
<p><em>Perfectly pruned boxwoods, floating gardenias and lush arrangements of hydrangea, sugared apricots, raspberry vines and cascading jasmine transformed the reception into a French garden. Placecards and menus were lined to mimic the border of Laudree macaroon boxes, sugar cubes rested inside rose petals on china teacups and vintage botanical print reproductions by Pierre-Joseph Redoute (the official court painter of Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution) differentiated each tulle-layered table. The head table was overflowing with salal garlands, rustic candles, mercury glass votives, fresh fruit, cinched tulle and mossy, terrarium-encased arrangements. </em></p>
<p><em>When guests made their way to the bar, they had a number of specialty drink choices. There were five champagne cocktails options, all with fun names, for example, the “Blissful Bellini” featured peach puree, vanilla vodka, champagne and fresh mint, while the “Honeymooner” featured ginger syrup, lime juice, champagne and cucumber. Those still waking up also had 5 drink options at an Espresso station, for example, the “Crème Brulee Cappuccino” with cinnamon-infused espresso and raw cinnamon and sugar dusting, or an “Opposites Attract” caramel macchiato given sweet caramel drizzle and a dash of sea salt. </em></p>
<p><em>Crepes au citron, dulche de leche French toast and strawberry shortcake waffles were plated during brunch and Jake’s servers then circulated the ballroom offering hot sausage and bacon as well. Finally, as if guests weren’t already stuffed to the brim, Lindsay and James cut their cake: a five-tiered fresh strawberry and cream cheese masterpiece with diamond quilting, silver dragee detail, pink macaroons and a “B” cameo. After such an indulgent day, “favors” were simply notes letting the guests know that a donation had been made to the Portland Rescue Mission in their honor. </em></p>

<p><em>Adam knew it was important to me that he ask my father for permission before he proposed. So, one Sunday in late May, he called my dad and asked permission. Apparently, my dad didn&#8217;t realize that the asking for permission was happening before the actual proposal. So, he was so excited about our engagement that he called me to congratulate me directly. I obviously had no idea what he was talking about, but I started putting it together. </em></p>
<p><em>In the meantime, Adam and I were in the car together, heading up to Bouder for a hike. As the color drained from Adam&#8217;s face (he figured out what my dad was telling me on the phone), he pulled the car into a carwash. As our car went through the wash, he handed me a book he&#8217;d made me of photographs we&#8217;d taken together. The last page of the book was a picture of the three rings he&#8217;d had made for me and asked me to marry him. When I looked up, it was the rainbow wax cycle and Adam had pulled out a box. He proposed right then and we shared our first engaged kiss in the carwash. </em></p>
<p><em>Of course, I had to call my dad back and tell him what happened&#8230; He was beyond mortified, but honestly, it was perfect. We still climbed the Royal Arch that day, but I remember the carwash more fondly. The funniest part of the whole thing was that Adam wasn&#8217;t really sure he was going to propose that day. He&#8217;d been carrying the ring around for over a week waiting for the right moment.</em></p>
<p><em>We picked Devil&#8217;s Thumb because it was a special place for Adam&#8217;s family. His mom and step-dad own a furniture store, named Djuna. They did the interior design for DTR and Adam helped load all of the furniture into the lodge before it openned. Very early on in our relationship, Adam took me to DTR for lunch. Subsequently, we took everyone who came to visit us. Devil&#8217;s Thumb is such a magical place and we knew it would be ther perfect backdrop for our wedding.</em></p>
<p><em>Adam and I had so many favorites of the day. One highlight was right after the ceremony when the rain stopped, the clouds parted and we got to enjoy a breath-taking sunset. Another was the way that everything melted away as we said our vows. It was like we were standing in a room alone, when really, we were surrounded by our nearest and dearest family members and friends. The whole day was filled with joy, though. It&#8217;s impossible to narrow down the highlights. We also have some pretty fond memories of the wild dancing that ensued during the reception!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s almost February, LBBers, which means it&#8217;s pretty much almost March&#8230; which in turn means it&#8217;s almost April too&#8230; long story short, it&#8217;s almost time for some fabulous beach weddings right? We&#8217;re jumping the gun a little (don&#8217;t worry &#8211; we still LOVE everything about winter nuptials, we just needed a little watery vaca this morning) and heading straight for Nantucket with this gorgeous wedding, captured by <a href="http://www.hazlegrove.com/" target="_blank">Cary Hazlegorve Photography</a>. The fantastic floral design, courtesy of <a href="http://www.soireefloral.com/" target="_blank">Soiree Floral</a>, is just one of the many things &#8211; like those adorable flower girls, or the rope bracelets the &#8216;maids are sporting &#8211; we love about this wedding. <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/gallery/6553" target="_blank">Click here for the rest!</a></p>

<p><em>Eliza and Anthony started dating in April, 2008 following an introduction by Eliza’s brother-in-law, Chip, who attended Princeton University and played lacrosse with Anthony. It seemed like just an introduction, but it was so much more. Eliza had just moved from Philadelphia to New York City in pursuit of her career as a nurse, but little did she know she would also find her future husband. Three years later, Anthony proposed under the Tree in Rockefeller Center following The Christmas Spectacular.</em></p>
<p><em>It was never a question where Eliza and Anthony wanted to have their wedding. Eliza’s Family has been going to Nantucket for over 40 years and Eliza has been there every year since her birth. To her, it is a family place, full of memories and tradition. When she was younger, she would put on rope bracelet the day she arrived on island and keep it on until it the end of summer. The bracelet always ended up worn with memories of her summer. She wanted to share these memories and create new ones with her family and friends, with her and Anthony’s special day as a centerpiece.</em></p>
<p><em>Fall has always been Eliza and Anthony’s favorite time on Nantucket; the colors of the island are still vivid from the summer sun and the ocean is still warm. Since they started dating they have visited the Island mid or late September, avoiding the summer crowds, having the beaches virtually to themselves, and lighting a fire when the sun went down. They were sure October was the perfect time for a wedding, and it turned out they were right. It was 65 degrees and sunny on their special day. It was simply magical.</em></p>
<p><em>It was important to Eliza and Anthony that their wedding not only represent them as a couple, but also the beauty and tradition of the island. From the moments guests arrived, they were greeted with bags filled with traditions of the Island; good luck pennies to throw off the departing ferry towards Brant Point and a small box of chocolate covered cranberries, a tribute to Nantucket’s October Cranberry Festival. And what better venue than the Great Harbor Yacht Club! A homage to the nautical traditions of the Island.</em></p>
<p><em>The bridesmaids looked beautiful, with their scallop shell necklaces, starfish earrings, and traditional Nantucket rope bracelets from Eliza’s Childhood. The colors of the bridesmaids dresses was pewter, a tribute to Nantucket, or the “The Gray Lady”, as it is known to those who visit her often. The maid of honor’s dress was dark red, representative of the cranberries that are a fall staple of the Island.</em></p>
<p><em>Guests were greeted with a ‘Sea Breeze’ upon arrival to the reception, a tribute to Eliza’s Granny Titi. It was her favorite drink.</em></p>
<p><em>Local artist, Jeanne van Etten, also known as the “Nantucket Mermaid,” created mermaid and pirate themed escort cards for each guest. The cards were of course used to direct guests to their table, but were also designed as postcards with personalized E &amp; A postage attached. A detail thought of by the bride to enable each guest to write the newlyweds their best wishes and place them in the mail. Returning from their honeymoon, the couple was greeted with some spirited memories from a memorable night.</em></p>

<p><em>Will and I met at a concert. Going to shows and finding new music has been a key element of our relationship. We wanted our wedding to reflect this, so we made music a theme. We created a compilation of songs from our favorite bands whose shows we had attended together to give away as favors. The tables for dinner were named after different music venues in San Francisco that we&#8217;d been to, and the seating cards were made to look like a concert tickets.</em></p>
<p><em>The most important thing to us was that people have a really good time and feel welcome. We didn&#8217;t want it to be too formal; instead we wanted it to feel like a really fun party in someone&#8217;s backyard. We picked a bluegrass band to play for the ceremony and reception. We had a selection of pies rather than a wedding cake. Our flowers were placed in a variety of old bottles rather than vases. We used succulents as our centerpieces instead of cut flowers. We loved the idea that the plants at our wedding would continue to live and be enjoyed by our guests even after the wedding was over.</em></p>
<p><em>The best thing about the wedding was that all our friends and family really enjoyed themselves. We kept hearing from everyone how much they liked our other friends and family members that they were meeting. We felt completely loved and supported and lucky to have so many incredible people in our lives.</em></p>

The work they do with flowers &#8211; it&#8217;s magical. So it&#8217;s a Geranium Lake Flowers kind of day on the LBB Blog. This Portland wedding, captured by <a href="http://www.ericaannphotography.com/" target="_blank">Erica Ann Photography &amp; Fine Arts</a>, is filled with quirky little deets we love. Like those cheese grater luminaries &#8211; genius. The whole wedding is filled with so many unique touches that leave you with the feeling of really, really getting to know this great couple. <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/gallery/6476" target="_blank">Click here for the rest!</a></p>

<p><em>We met for the first time on a coffee date on my birthday at Pazzo. We hit it off immediately. I liked him so much I cancelled my own birthday party that night so that I could have dinner with him. When deciding on a venue for our wedding, we could only think of the having our wedding at the place we met. When Mark proposed, we drove through 8 hours of snow &amp; traffic to Seattle, where he proposed to me on the morning of my birthday.</em></p>
<p><em>I found a picture in an old magazine I bought at a library sale that showed old rusted out cheese graters being used as luminaries, and I fell in love with the idea. I thought it would be a nice way to subtly incorporate my love for cheese and all things food without making our wedding look like a Star Trek wedding, but with food.</em></p>
<p><em>Since we were having the reception and dinner in a very intimate wine cellar, we wanted to have the ceremony in an opposite environment – an open air rooftop with the sounds and sights of the city. Nothing says festive like café lights, so we strung lights at both venues, and those tied the places together and were used as a motif in the invitations.</em></p>
<p><em>We are kinda bookish people, without being grossly annoying about it, but we did feel the need to pay homage to our first date at a bookstore. We collected some of our favorite books and my old Olivetti Typewriter to dress up our guest table. We kept it relaxed and earthy by using birch accents in the table décor and a birch limb as the anchor for the paper flower curtain altar piece which Kim designed, and my mother and I helped craft.</em></p>
<p><em>We didn’t include anything in this wedding that didn’t have personal meaning to us. We didn’t do anything because you are “supposed” to do it. I walked down the aisle to “Never Tear Us Apart” by INXS. My bouquet was wrapped in the very same ribbon that I used to wrap a birthday gift I gave to Mark on our first date. We had pictures of our two cats, Loki and Applejack, in their tuxedos, along with a piece of lace the bride bought in Belgium in 1997 to use in her wedding, on our guest table. We used a reading from the Velveteen Rabbit that had special meaning to the bride, and a poem the groom wrote as the bulk of our ceremony, both read by the bride’s sisters. I wore a pearl necklace with an opal stone that was an heirloom from my paternal grandmother, and a diamond ring that belonged to my late maternal grandmother. We had a tree stump engraved with M+M inside a heart, which is how the bride signs her napkin letters she puts in the groom’s lunch. </em></p>
<p><em>We tied our wedding rings to a small brass bell with the aforementioned ribbon. Mark and I purchased this bell months before our wedding on a trip to Astoria. Leading up to the wedding, Mark and I would ring that bell if something good happened…if he solved a problem at work, or if I made a ridiculous peach cobbler or if we wanted to tell the other one we loved them from a different room. The bell’s ringing became a sound we associated with good and happy things, so we would both know, that when my youngest niece was walking down the aisle and ringing the heck out of that bell, that all good things were about to happen. He could hear the bell from the altar, and I could hear it from the stairwell to the rooftop and we would both know that we were about to be the happiest we’ve ever been. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After spending more time with <a href="http://www.rebekahjohnson.com/" target="_blank">Rebekah Johnson Photography</a>&#8216;s images of this Oregon wedding that I should probably admit, I still cannot decide what it is that really draws me to this wedding. The floral design from <a href="http://geraniumlake.com/" target="_blank">Geranium Lake Flowers</a> is stunning, the <a href="http://www.carolinaherrera.com/" target="_blank">Carolina Herrera</a> gown is fab, the <em>entire</em> design of the affair, planned by <a href="http://www.ellaportland.com/" target="_blank">Ella Events</a>, is top notch. But there is something else. Something in the way he looks at her, and she looks back at him. And the way they both look at the children. It&#8217;s like watching a family start. And it&#8217;s beautiful. <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/gallery/6471" target="_blank">Take a further peek into this alluring affair in the full image gallery when you&#8217;re ready</a> - then stop by this afternoon for more fab florals (in a super fun wedding) thanks to Geranium Lake Flowers!</p>
