Rachel and Ed

Wednesday, April 13, 2011


























Married at the Windham Mountain Ski Resort in New York, this soft spoken wedding is deliciously elegant. It's also a perfect example of an off-season celebration-one that doesn't lose a bit of charm!

The bride wore a lace mermaid gown, accessorized with an understated pair of chandelier earrings and a full bouquet of peonies, while her maids were sweet in blush colored chiffon dresses. The groom, in a three piece linen suit, stood out from his groomsmen, who wore matching pants with black suspenders.

Single Coral Charm peonies tucked into tin pails graced the classic white tablecloths and small maps and seashells nestled onto beds of moss leant an air of whimsy. Wreaths of laurel decorated the backs of the bride and groom's Windsor chairs, and the cake, a simple fondant confection with a hint of lace, was wrapped with blush colored ribbon and topped with a vintage cake topper. An absolute dream, don't you think?
