The Blue Bonnets of Texas united with the Vermont Red Clover during Ben & Erika’s special day snuggled in the rolling green hills of southern Vermont this past June. They are such a sweet couple that are so incredibly in love and surrounded by friends and family that love them both just as much. From start to finish their day ran like a well oiled machine (Erika is the youngest of four so there is a lot of wedding planning experience in the family) with every detail well accounted for like lots of food & snacks around for the wedding party so they didn’t starve before they finally got to the reception! Ben & Erika treated their wedding party to a private cocktail time between the ceremony and the reception, with a quick trip to Trout River Brewery …. which also provided a great location for an extra photo op! And as well run as the day was, it never felt robotic or anything other than relaxed and stuffed with love ….. well, and lots of fun, because let me tell you while Team Vermont provided the gorgeous lush location for the wedding, Team Texas totally brought their dancing shoes and tore up the reception!
I do want to give a shout out to Boccaccio’s Salon. If you have never been there to experience what I would like to call the wedding circus, it is certainly a site to behold. The place can get pretty crazy but the end result of an entire wedding party with beautiful hair & make up is pretty spectacular …. Lori, Amanda, Jaime & Daryl certainly worked their butts off and everyone was done beautifully and on time!
Once again I feel so incredibly blessed to be included in such an important day and to be able to witness such an incredibly amazing day!
