lush Spring vermont wedding at the essex resort

Elizabeth and Nick tied the knot in an elegant wedding at The Essex Resort in Essex, VT in late May. Elizabeth, a fellow local wedding photographer, had a clear vision for her day. She dreamt of lush florals with a soft and feminine color palette. She wanted a large floral moment to wow her guests and knew she wanted to make that moment somewhat unusual too.

Elizabeth worked with Emily to create a vision board that included soft spring flowers such as peonies, stock, astilbe, ranunculus, tulips, lisianthus, roses and spray roses. The two landed on a round arch to bring that extra element of uniqueness and elegance. 

For Elizabeth's bridal bouquet she wanted something garden style-esk but still refined and elegant to match her other florals. She wanted minimal greenery to allow the soft flowers to really shine. Elizabeth and Emily decided that quicksand roses and blush astilbe would be the perfect pop of dusty pink to compliment the white flowers in her bouquet. 

The Essex Resort provided the couple with a beautiful clean white blank slate for them to decorate for their reception. The couple opted to stick with the white elegant vibe and dress up the tables with large gold compote vases and taper candles. 

One thing the couple wanted to was recreate Elizabeth's grandparents classic wedding photo of the young couple in their car. Elizabeth and Nick found a similar car from Country Boy Classics in Enosburgh, VT and we're able to pull off the photo recreation of a lifetime.
