California Meets Vermont in an All White Wedding

A California Groom and a Vermont Bride tied the knot in the quaint village of Quechee, Vermont. The setting was magnificent, graced by a beautiful lake, farmhouse and custom sail cloths tents topped with flags blowing in the wind.















Storied Events and the staff at the Quechee Club created the magical display of Vermont Cheese and California wines. Five bars were installed throughout the cocktail and reception area. An ice sculpture was created to keep the white wine chilled at the wine bar, next to the cart.





The champagne bar was in a separate cocktail tent for guest to enjoy throughout the evening. Following the mother-son dance, a perfectly choreographed firework display surprised guests and the wedding party. The display was a gift from the mother of the groom.

This couple set the tone for their wedding by sending out engraved black and white invitations, embossed with laurel wreath and initial. A custom lily of the valley stamp was created to resemble the bouquet the bride would carry down the aisle. Escort cards, place cards and the wedding program were all embossed with the same laurel wreath.

So many details filled this weekend wedding; from the elegant Friday evening rehearsal dinner to the spectacular display of food, ice and fireworks - and even a surprise and unplanned hot air balloon lifting up behind the ceremony site just following the nuptials. This wedding was gorgeous and one to remember!
