A Bucolic Wedding in Vermont

The very night Simone and Andrew got engaged, they emailed Shelburne Coach Barn about availability. It wasthatimportant to the couple—who met in 2014 at a party through a mutual friend—that they be wed there. Along with the stunning scenery and venue, they loved the fact it was on a grand estate that had been converted to an educational farm nonprofit. “It’s also one of the most beautiful places in a state full of natural beauty,” says the bride. “We loved that we could get married under the trees, with a view of the lake behind us.”

Their May 27, 2017, wedding for 200 guests was the culmination of a hectic year for the couple, who had both fallen ill and closed on a new home the same month, moving houses the weekend before the wedding. “Wedding planning was stressful but not as stressful as the rest of our lives falling apart," says the bride. To cope, they hired planner Jaclyn Watson a month out to help ensure a “friendly, inclusive, festive” wedding full of nature, good food and great music. In the end their Buddhist ceremony was everything they’d hoped for and more.“It was a quiet, contemplative moment in the middle of an overwhelming weekend and a crazy year," says the bride. And after the beautiful day things only continued to get better when Simone and Andrew jetted off to Greece andSwitzerland for their honeymoon。

Sherburne Coach谷仓的华丽自然设置卖掉了Simone和Andrew在地点举行婚礼。

西蒙斯坚持一个传统：她穿着蓝色的内衣，借来的金手镯，来自安德鲁的家人的古色古香的钻石，在她的结婚戒指和她的新礼服，由Mira Zwillinger。

“We gave our awesome花卉设计师lots of freedom to go wild with flowers because we love flowers,” says Simone. Bouquets and boutonnieres were also whimsical, featuring blown-open blooms.

Simone说，她第一次尝试过她的Mira Zwilling Gown，说她真的很喜欢它，但没有犯下。然后，她在各个城市的其他礼服上“浪费了很多时间”，直到她意识到她最喜欢第一个。她的新郎为特殊场合的Dolce＆Gabbana套装和鞋子做了一套。

The couple felt their ceremony setting was perfect, with a lush arbor behind them and the lake as their背景。在仪式座位的入口处，他们建立了一个传统的西藏佛教净化，涉及热木炭和地面杜松叶。“随着人们进入他们被邀请撒上一点点杜松子，在木炭上撒上烟雾，造成烟雾升起空气，闻起来很好，”Simone解释道。碗后来被带到祭坛上的主要神社表中以仪式用于他们的仪式。

因为很多夫妻的朋友和家人都有小孩子，他们选择让活动友好。他们包括在仪式期间的儿童游行，其中所有儿童参加的孩子都被邀请参加并携带娱乐者down the aisle.

新娘和新郎都被父母陪同到过道，以“避免传统性别角色的局限性”。

Simone和Andrew选择了与六个PaditaS相关的独特尚传统的仪式，“超越行动”。在结构化仪式中，官员在制作六种产品，香火，香水，鲜花的过程中导致了他们希望在婚姻中培养的品质。

因为他们避免了许多婚礼传统，这对夫妇没有一个第一支舞在他们在仪式期间让事情官员做好准备。

Simone和Andrew希望他们的婚礼将它们反映为一对夫妇，所以他们关注细节，如创造艺术和俏皮护送卡。特色鸡尾酒也是他们姓氏的戏剧。

Shelburne Coach Barn的招待会场所是一家巨大的砖维多砖谷仓，在那里，这对夫妇在院子里和家人的庭院中令人兴奋地用餐。小酒馆灯光点燃家庭式桌子穿着金色的桌子，蜡烛和桌子号码的黄铜框架。

Lush有机中心件装饰桌面，也包含梨和其他水果。

“晚餐是农场到桌盛宴，有很多伟大的色彩和蔬菜，”新娘解释。

Though the couple didn’t want to have an official cake-cutting, their planner insisted and it made for a sweet photo opp! Their vanilla wedding cake was accompanied by a mini dessert bar.

Looking back, the couple especially remembers the spectacular sunset on their wedding night fondly. “All the guests poured out of the Coach Barn onto the lawn by Lake Champlain to take pictures and enjoy the scenery," says the bride. And later on, they partied hard. She adds, "The band Affiniti NYC was like our own private Beyonce concert—everyone was sweating, dancing, and going crazy!"
