Eryn & Steve: August 2009
Featured Wedding in latest Vermont Vows Spring/Summer 2010 Issue!
Hot Off The Press!!!
"Eryn and Steve wanted a rustic, organic-themed wedding that was
comfortable and fun. They embraced the mix of rural elegance
they found at The Amee Farm and built on it for their celebration."
"The couple felt comfortable trusting their vendors to
pull off the celebration they’d planned, so they were able to just relax
and enjoy their special day. “It was really nice to feel so at ease the entire weekend,” says Eryn."
Here's how the issue highlighted this wedding... I know it's small but it gives you an idea... we love this first page with the fantastic green/tree logo... Nicole, the graphic designer from Vt Vows came up with this cool layout. She's awesome. You'll have have to pick it up and read it in person...
OK Here's what the story says:
"Eryn Giroux and Steve Stetson lived just a few miles apart from one
another in Dallas, but they didn’t meet until Eryn was visiting her
family in Upstate New York and happened to find Steve’s ad on an
online dating site. Intrigued by what she saw, she sent Steve a note,
and the two made plans to meet for dinner as soon as Eryn returned
to Dallas. They clicked almost instantly and started dating seriously
just a few weeks after that first dinner.
Eryn and Steve's relationship was so easy and comfortable that Steve
planned a laid back, Christmas Eve proposal at Eryn's parents' house.
“My mom didn’t believe us at first — she thought we were joking,”
says Eryn. “When we finally convinced her we were serious, she
started calling everyone to share the news.”
Eryn had grown up in a little town called Chazy, New York, located
just across the lake from Burlington, and she’d always loved the
area, where many of her closest friends and family still lived. When
she and Steve discovered The Amee Farm, an organic working
farm in Pittsfield, they knew they’d found a location that suited
the natural feeling they wanted their wedding celebration to have.
The farm, tucked into the dazzling green fields you only seem to
find in Vermont, boasts an unbeatable combination of luxury and
sustainability, mixing elegant antique finds with rustic craftsmanship
for a style that really is the best of both worlds.
Eryn is a graphic designer, and naturally paid special attention to the
wedding invitations and other printed materials for the ceremony,
enjoying the chance to be her own client for a change. She included
a charming bird motif across their wedding stationery, a whimsical
touch that went perfectly with the quirky elegance she and Steve
planned for their wedding. She sourced recycled paper products for
the wedding’s print elements and tracked down rare vintage stamps
on eBay to match her wedding design’s theme and color scheme. Her
simple Kraft paper envelopes inspired raves from other brides-to-be
when they were featured on StyleMePretty.com.
Eryn and Steve wanted a rustic, organic-themed wedding that was
comfortable and fun. They embraced the mix of rural elegance
they found at The Amee Farm and built on it for their celebration.
Eryn chose a natural green-and-brown color scheme, accented with
hints of red, pink, and orange. The bridesmaids wore simple, grass-
green dresses by Amsale. Eryn’s dress, by Lian Carlo, spilled from
a plain bodice into a pretty tumble of ruffles that were feminine
The wedding itself was a warm, welcoming celebration that brought
together Eryn and Steve’s far-flung family and friends for the day of
merrymaking. The couple felt comfortable trusting their vendors to
pull off the celebration they’d planned, so they were able to just relax
and enjoy their special day.
“It was really nice to feel so at ease the entire weekend,” says Eryn.
And since it’s not really a farm unless there’s a little poultry, Eryn and
Steve’s photographer suggested a photo session with the neighbor’s
chickens. It seemed like an odd idea at the time, but the photos
ended up being among Eryn and Steve’s favorites of the day. After all,
they had their happy ending, and there was no question of anyone
counting their chickens before they hatched."

"Dear Liz , Courtney and to all of your staff-
I just wanted to thank you for helping me plan my wedding from afar. Living in Texas, booking your site unseen, and not managing a time to get away from work until the Friday before to come up in person, I placed a lot of trust into you and your operation to bring my ideas to life.
After all that is said and done, I can say the weekend was nothing short of a fantasy. Everything that we put together, the vendors you collected for me and the setting you created was exactly as I had envisioned it.
Thank you so much.
Eryn Giroux"
