Vermont Wedding Guide
Explore wedding resources in Vermont, famous for its Autumn beauty.
Vermont, nestled in the heart of New England and bordering Canada, is one of America's favorite and most beautiful wedding destination spots. Use the Vermont Wedding Guide to explore the resources that you'll need to host a picture-perfect New England wedding that captures the romantic spirit of 'Moonlight in Vermont'.
"Vermonters" are proud of their history, and it's no wonder. A U.S. state since 1791, the Green Mountain State was first in line to be admitted to the Union. Vermont was also birthplace to U.S. presidents Chester Alan Arthur and Calvin Coolidge.
This historic heritage is reflected in Vermont's rich offerings of Colonial-style homes and locales. You'll find some of the nation's most romantic wedding halls, churches and hotels in Vermont. The area is also famous for its bed-and-breakfast accommodations, which offer a cozy and memorable stay for you and your guests.
It may offer rustic charm, but there's no shortage of luxury in Vermont. Some of the nation's most renowned chefs have brought their talents to this area of thriving culture, and there are hundreds of hotels, spas and historic sites to choose from.
The Green Mountains are part of the Appalachian mountain range and span the state's New Hampshire border from north to south. Popular among locals and visitors alike, the Green Mountains create a beautiful background for your wedding day photos. Choose a fabulous ski resort wedding, a converted historic barn or a lovely garden for your Green Mountains wedding.
For those who love the water, Vermont's three major rivers and two scenic lakes are popular among today's couples. Lake Champlain even offers its own local legend--the Lake Champlain Monster, or "Champy"--to add fun and fantasy to your wedding.
Vermont's largest city, Burlington, is another wedding day hot spot. You'll find plenty to choose from in Burlington, including five-star hotels, city carriage rides, theatres and a night life of clubs and fine dining.
Naturally, many couples gravitate toward New England for its famed seasonal beauty. Spring and Autumn top the list in popularity, but all four seasons offer a unique experience in Vermont.
Springtime in the Green Mountain State blooms with both local wildflowers and cultivated flora. A wedding beneath a floral arbor or in an outdoor garden is picturesque and romantic. Watch out for the spring rains; if this is a concern, try the northern or western sections of the state, which tend toward less precipitation throughout the year.
The fall in Vermont can't be topped. Brilliant reds, oranges and golds cover virtually every area of Vermont in the autumn, from hayfields to colorful mountains to towns and villages canopied by trees. Match your wedding bouquet and wedding hall decorations with nature's own glory; marigolds and sunflowers are a popular choice.
Summer in Vermont has long been a vacation destination due to its many natural water attractions. Consider an on-the-lake or river wedding destination and follow the festivities with waterskiing, jet skiing, swimming and boating.
For those who love the wintertime, the Green Mountains offer plenty of resorts to choose from. Get married in front of an exquisite fireplace in a luxury hotel or cozy ski chalet. A winter Vermont wedding may be better for those who will have fewer travel considerations due to frequent heavy snowfalls.
After your wedding, visit one of the state's many museums or historic monuments. Visit a local farm (don't forget to bring home some maple syrup!) and get cozy with your groom in a bed-and-breakfast at the end of the day. Attend a play or the orchestra at night. Whatever your choices, your Vermont wedding will be a memory for you and your guests to cherish.
