Miranda + David took their engagement photos with the incredibly talented @jesslatosphoto at the gorgeous @brooksidegardenseventcenter exactly one year to the day from their wedding next Spring!

What a way to kickoff a year of planning!

Today at a walk thru, the Bride shared with me that they used the wording from her Grandparent’s wedding invitation on their own invites. How cool is that!?!

It’s not too often anymore I hear an idea that I haven’t seen before, and this was certainly refreshing. What an incredible way to honor your family/those who came before you!

Pinterest-worthy inspiration for Jen + Eric’s wedding tomorrow at @woodendsanctuary and I cannot wait to see their design come together!

The couple lives in Vermont (and will be treating guests to some Vermont IPA 🍺). They both love the outdoors - hiking, running + camping is their jam. Their goal was to incorporate their affinity for their natural surroundings into their florals.

The rustic boho design will feature blooms, wildflowers and dried flowers (note: still trending) in creams, peachy blush, orange, sand + browns. Texture will be brought in with thistle, greenery and bunny tails 🐰 - 👈🏻 how appropriate for Easter 🐣 weekend.

Two other crazy cool things about them is that Eric’s Parents we’re also married at Woodend and when he was a young Eagle Scout, he was involved in a project that built the walkway in the Hemlock Grove, exactly where he will be standing next to his beautiful Bride tomorrow!

Can’t wait to share more tomorrow!

On our initial call, I make it a point to ask every couple why they chose the venue they did. I want to understand their point of view about what makes a venue resonate with them and it also helps me get to know them better.

One of the things I hear over and over again from couples who are getting married at @woodendsanctuary is that they are outdoorsy people. Often times, their love of the outdoors has translated into widespread visits to America’s Best Idea: our National Parks!

Trending alert: naming your tables after the National Parks you have visited together. It’s a fun way to incorporate more of you as a couple and at the same time, personalize the guest experience. Both last week’s couple and this coming week’s couple (as well as several from last year) named their tables after National Parks.

What do you think of this trend?

Since today is the the eve of our 2023 wedding sea

Since today is the the eve of our 2023 wedding season, I’m throwing it back to last year’s “season home opener” (I never get tired of saying that 🤣)at @woodendsanctuary.

My car is packed, docs printed and I cannot wait for all the beauty, smiles and moments that we get to help create. Here we go 2023!

Happy Birthday to our very own Missy! 🥂 @missystone1980

She’s GLOW’s photography guru 📷, detail oriented aesthetic Queen👸and the one who functions as my peace of mind 🫶so we can offer our best to our couples 💍.

Basically one half of our pink-loving 💖, Starbucks addicted ☕️ “team work makes the dream work” duo, so we can be in ALL the places and do ALL the things that make this possible.

Also, my real life partner in crime and lifelong BFF 💕.

Man, talk about being thrown back into the RING 💍. This week has been a circus.

My calendar this week has proven that it’s officially wedding season. So many calls, zooms, walk thrus and consultations! I can’t wait to share all of the weddings we’re honored to be a part of this year. Happy Friday!
