Wedding Wonderland!
For Anna, Vermont’ s winter months are equally inspiring. Her Holiday and Winter wedding designs often center on texture and tone rather than abundance: silvery garden roses, lavender-tinged anemones, or Queen Anne’ s lace that evokes snowflakes. A favorite wintertime commission transformed the Kimpton Taconic Hotel ballroom( in Manchester, Vermont) into an enchanted woodland, with living evergreens, soft blooms, and snowfall at the windows. The Southern Vermont community remains central to her work. Many of the farms and artisans she collaborates with were early supporters when she returned home to start her business. Her husband, a builder, sometimes helps construct installations, and her children have grown up watching her turn flowers into art. When asked what she loves most about Vermont weddings, she emphasizes the importance of natural authenticity:“ Couples who are drawn to Vermont want warmth, not just spectacle. They want something real.” n
