A Personal Touch Around Every Corner

Dan and Jay’s wedding was held on a beautiful August day. The pair, and their wedding party, were perfectly in sync with the natural beauty of the day, dressed in soft blues and greens. The palette was a picturesque match for the vibrant Vermont backdrop: bluebird skies above and lush, rolling mountains.

Dan and Jay’s ceremony took place in the woods of Crofter’s Green. The couple exchanged vows beneath a handcrafted arbor and planted a tree together, a meaningful symbol of their growing life together.  During cocktail hour, guests were welcomed to a setting that felt like an upscale camp retreat: think pennant flags, signature cocktails, and even a vintage canoe filled with chilled drinks thanks to the thoughtful and expert touches of Vermont wedding planner, I Dews Design & Events.

One of the most heartfelt details of the day was the inclusion of the couple’s sweet dog, Benji. Not only did he make a picture-perfect appearance in photos, but he also inspired the couple’s wedding favors: “Benji’s Farmstand”, a setup brimming with local Vermont goodies like vanilla, granola, and small-batch sauces.

The reception took place inside Crofter’s Green’s cozy post-and-beam barn, where Dan and Jay’s playful camp theme continued in the most charming ways. Guests were welcomed with a large sign reading “Take a Hike (to Your Seat),” a cheeky nod to the hiking-inspired seating chart. Inside, string lights twinkled overhead, creating a warm, romantic glow. Tables were adorned with bud vases filled with vibrant blooms from Mila’s Flower Farm, paired with books the couple loved, some about the outdoors, others simply personal favorites. Felt pennant flags marked each table number, tying the whole look together with a sweet, nostalgic touch.

We also adore the guest book station, where a plethora of vintage postcards encouraged friends and family to write well wishes to the newlyweds. Jay and Dan’s celebration continued into the evening with a delicious meal from The Hindquarter, tons of dancing thanks to Green Mountain Entertainment, and a dessert spread lovingly prepared by Jay’s sister. 

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Dan and Jay snuck away with their photographer, Isora Lithgow Creations, to capture some stunning blue hour portraits. You’ve probably heard of golden hour, but blue hour, aka the twilight window just after sunset, is equally magical! The soft, moody light and deep blue sky created the perfect backdrop for some truly romantic shots.

Congratulations, Dan and Jay, on your beautiful day!
