WellWed in New York

With the bride's heart set on a chic and sophisticated affair, Christine Wheat brings a formally elegant fete to life.   

The team here at Vermont Vows and WellWed Magazines couldn't be happier with the success of last Saturday's Vermont Wedding Affair! Record-setting numbers of eager attendees had a chance to mingle and meet with some of the state's finest wedding professionals, getting a great head-start on planning while having some carnival-themed fun along the way!

As a professional event planner, Tammy Baldwin-Basten, owner of Charmed Places in the Hudson Valley, has made a business of creating memorable weddings for others. But planning her own recent wedding gave her a whole new perspective on the big day.

Tammy's Tips For Planning Yourself:

 *Make details count. Your wedding should represent who you are as a couple; you want guests to leave feeling that they know you better.

Making every bride feel like Cinderella is Cindy Byno's, of Northwoods Events,  specialty, but she rarely gets the opportunity to be as literal a fairy godmother as she was for Robyn Rezac and Hanif Kassam.

Byno fell in love with the couple as soon as she heard about Hanif's proposal: He'd secretly borrowed one of Robyn's shoes from her closet and had a glass copy made of it.
