Mmm, another “favorite” wedding from another of my favorite photographers. And this one is just dreamy.  When asked about a wedding that best represented 2009, Susan Stripling (whose work is just magical) shared Mindy and Jonathan’s Vermont wedding, held at Riverside Farm.

Mindy’s Alberta Ferretti gown is breathtaking.

Jonathan wore a bespoke suit designed by Lord Willy’s

 Gray and purple is one of my favorite color palettes for men, and the ranunculus bouquet tied with yarn is a perfect compliment to the stitching on the vest and the purple pocket square!

Susan says:

I can’t single out one wedding each year as a favorite but this one really made an impression on me because of Mindy’s style.  There was not a single detail of this wedding that she did not style herself, lovingly and with great meaning.  It poured rain most of the day but it didn’t deter them at all – everything was just so sweet, so simple, and so just right.

A wedding can never go wrong with clusters of white flowers at the reception.  So classic, so elegant.  Also notice the detail of the white chair cushions – so unexpected, and it adds a hint of lightness to the table.  And naturally, my favorite part of the tablescape is the hanging chandeliers!

Absolutely Gorgeous! RT @amiatEAD: New on EAD Weddings: Real Weddings: Mindy + Jonathan http://bit.ly/5bMttZ

These photos are beautiful. What a lovely couple.

Amazing decor! Love the setting, the lighting … everything.

It is so difficult to find a dress with sleeves and that one is absolutely beautiful! Bring back sleeves!
And don’t even get me started on her hair! I want my hair just like that!

[...] I thought this must have been a UK wedding as it really has that classic british feel (via EAD) ♥ Monochrome sparkle. The ultimate glittery perfection! ♥ More stunning black & white love [...]

truly beautiful!

Rain boots…where did you get the rain boots?

The egg thing is kinda unique. What’s the idea behind it?

@vermont – yes, they served breakfast food for dinner, so the eggs were a echo of that. cute right? :)
