When planning Vermont weddings for Harlow & Dahlia Events I often think of considerate and unique ways to make each wedding as unique and memorable as possible. I often look for inspiration such as from one of my favorite wedding design websites Ruffled Blog. 

Take a look at the amazing picture below. Not only is it beautiful but it looks absolutely delicious.

It also isn't very difficult to pull together:

Step 1: For very little you can find a local person that works with wooden materials that can construct this type of stand, think Craigslist. 

Step 2: The cake pops can be obtained from a local baker, a major chain such as Starbucks or for the truly DIY bride you can bake them on your own.

Step 3: Decor. For this part add a couple of flowers with shapes and colors that complement the style of your set up. 

Enjoy!

Vermont Weddings are fun for many reasons. One said reason is the ability to enjoy delicious drinks in outside settings with spectacular views.

One trend that has been taking over Vermont & New England weddings is to offer a mimosa bar. Typically done during cocktail hour, this very refreshing treat can be a wonderful way to kick off festivities and sweeten things up heading into dinner and dancing.

What is fun about mimosas is the incredible variation of flavors you can come up with! While nothing will ever top the classic champagne and orange juice combo, you can be the captain of creativity on what types of mimosas you'd like to offer. Champagne, strawberries and pineapple juice? Yes, please. 

Yet my favorite part as a wedding planner about mimosas is their wonderful presentation.  A burst of colors and a touch of elegance make adding mimosas to any wedding a bride's favorite.

It was the trend in weddings for many years to use elaborate, over the top floral arrangements but that has all changed over the last few years. Planning weddings in Vermont, I've realized the focal point of a memorable Vermont wedding is significant statement pieces that are as "au natural" as possible. 

There comes in "baby's breath". I don't think anything screams fresh off the floral field as baby's breaths. They are delicate, humble and eye catching flowers that can complement most wedding dresses, from simple styles to mermaid gowns to ballgowns. They are beautiful on their own without taking away from the bride.

More importantly they are budget friendly. You can likely obtain a very generous helping of them for around $35. 

Many brides use them as centerpieces. Imagine them hanging on a beautiful glass vase on top of a round wooden coaster in a guest's table. However, I prefer to use colorful flowers as centerpieces for weddings and allow the baby's breath to elegantly flow around the event room in innovative ways such as by the bar area, by the cake or any other spots that could use a little cheering up.

In my own wedding, I used them as tuck in inside our guest's dinner napkins. We went with a very natural decor for tables so this was the perfect way to extend that idea event further!

So planning a wedding in Vermont? Keep those baby's breaths in mind.
