We are so excited to receive the newest wedding invitation album from Elum! The Umi album of letterpress and flat print invitations is suitable for many occasions, not just weddings! These high style stunning invitations are modern, elegant, extremely tasteful and best of all, available in two print options. Flat print package pricing including invitation, reply card, and envelopes begins at $483 for 50 invitees, while Letterpress print packages begin at $691 for 50. If you are interested in viewing this album or any of our other suites please stop by our store, or email eric@storiedevents.com to make an appointment. All invitations ordered before February 29th receive one color printed envelopes at no charge.
Please read below for a little snapshot about Elum the manufacturer of our UMI line of invitations:
“Umi is our solution for creating affordable letterpress wedding invitations that do not compromise on great design or quality materials. Umi uses 100% cotton print-making paper and bamboo paper in standard and double-thick weights, as well as other eco-friendly paper options. And just like Elum, Umi prints all letterpress items using soy-based inks. How can we offer cheaper pricing? Umi offers package-priced ensembles that allow you to purchase a predetermined combination of items that maximize the space and time on press. So, the more items you buy, the better deal you’re going to get!
But if you are simply not budging your budget for letterpress, Umi can still work for you because Umi offers a flat printing option on the exact same designs at a fraction of the price! And what’s even more fabulous is that it is flat printed on the very same 100% cotton print-making paper used for letterpress. These highly affordable flat printed packages are the perfect solution for those who love amazing invitation design, but simply cannot afford to pay for the letterpress process.
Umi has also teamed up with Envelopments, Inc. to offer a wonderful selection of envelopes, liners and enclosures that can all be incorporated to create a truly custom package. And what’s even more impressive is that Umi offers custom letterpress printing directly onto the Envelopments® enclosures!
But, we still think the most exciting thing about Umi is that you get the trendsetting (and eh-hem, award winning) design and high quality fabrication by Elum. How divine.”
To view the Umi album online please visit their Wedding Invitation website.

Kathleen Landwehrle Photography proudly presents CV and Alex’s private, Vermont wedding. CV and Alex were married at a friend’s private home in Stowe, Vermont. Through the early summer rains the couple smiled and enjoyed their pond side wedding. Traditional elegant hats were plentiful as an honor to Alex’s British family. The ceremony was made even more special led by a priest from the Church Alex attended through childhood. The rain continued on and off into the evening leaving the guests dancing barefoot to a live band at the reception. With great skies and beautiful details, the rain helped make some pretty portraits. One on the theme’s for the wedding CV explained during his wonderful toast quoting his Grandfather about good times in life and the memories he had while sailing with his Grandfather and while under sail hearing his Grandfather shout out “How sweet it is”.

Carrie and I are so unbelievably fortunate as to work with wonderfully talented event professionals throughout the Vermont and New England wedding industry. We are very pleased to welcome one of our newest members to the Vermont Wedding Parlor Family. Vermont Sweet Tooth, located in Stowe Vermont creates wedding cakes, cupcakes, and or course delectable cookies and desserts.
Marion Peer after an extensive career in design, leveraged her dynamic experience and her passion for baking into Vermont Sweet Tooth Company. With an extremely wide variety of cakes and styles, Marion can easily deliver that absolutely perfect Vermont wedding cake for you and your special affair. The wonderfully skillful hand made flower work that is exemplified on most of her wedding cakes is one of a kind artistry that is rarely seen in a rural state like Vermont. Marion’s wedding cakes as you will see from the artistry below also have a wonderful sense of humor! Please enjoy our Q & A with Marion. To learn more about Vermont Sweet Tooth please visit Marion’s website HERE. Congratulations also goes out to Vermont Sweet Tooth as Marion was recently awarded brides choice award on Wedding Wire for 2012.
Where are you from? Tell us a little about yourself.
I grew up on a horse farm in Upstate New York and dreamed of becoming a fashion designer from the age of six. After graduating from Parsons School of Design and New York University, I started my own women’s couture fashion business on 7th Avenue. But every press interview with fashion editors tended to touch on my love of baking… whether I was on the road at a Saks Fifth Avenue, at a Neiman Marcus trunk show or on the runway as Designer of the Year at the Dallas Mart. Often my recipes were published in the articles about my high-fashion clothes!
How did you initially get involved with weddings?
Wedding cakes became a natural extension of my couture baking business. Prospective brides tasted my desserts in local restaurants and tracked me down. The wedding part of my business became word of mouth, Vermont Vows magazine published a photo of my hand-sculpted peonies and the rest is history.
What inspires you about working in Vermont?
Vermont’s natural beauty and wholesomeness inspire me daily to use only the freshest and highest quality ingredients in my confections. (I have been known to personally introduce brides to my free-range pet chickens who often provide the uber-healthy eggs for their cakes!)
What is your favorite part of the wedding day?
My absolute favorite part of the wedding day is hearing about (or in some cases, seeing) the reaction of the bride and groom as they view and taste their special cake created just for them!
How long have you been in the wedding industry?
Family and friends often urged me to start a baking business. Five years ago Jason Pacioni, owner of Black Diamond Catering, literally grabbed me by the hand and, with some of my desserts in tow, made me bring my creations to local restaurants. Vermont Sweet Tooth was born and my wedding cake business blossomed a year later.
What are you passionate about? What motivates you?
I LOVE to design, create and bake specialty desserts of all kinds. I waltz to work everyday…right into my Vermont kitchen overlooking Mt Mansfield and DaVinci, my swan, swimming on the ponds at our Birdsong Farm. I love to meet with brides (and grooms) to hear the stories of how they met their partner, what their passions are, what their life together looks like. The stories and fun anecdotes I hear inspire me to create the wedding cakes of their dreams. As an artist, I am passionate about creating the most beautiful and exciting cake possible. AND most importantly, it has to taste just as great as it looks! The wedding cake is the last presentation of the couple’s special day and I want it to be a spectacular and lasting memory for the bride, the groom and their guests.
What sets you apart from other professionals in your industry? What makes your work unique?
I think it is my background in fashion and art…clothes should be spectacular both on the hanger and on the owner just like wedding cakes should be dazzling to look at and exceptionally good to eat. I also love a challenge. The more unique or unusual the cake request, the better. I can spend days hand-sculpting sugar paste into delicate real-life looking flowers or personality-plus pets or even sports memorabilia to adorn my Vermont Sweet Tooth cakes. Whatever the special interests of the bride and groom I am eager to create a unique, elegant and/or whimsical cake.
I am so grateful to all the brides who have given me the opportunity to create my one-of-a-kind artistic and super-moist cakes.

Kathleen Landwehrle Photography proudly presents Adam and Alex’s Stone Hill Inn, Stowe, Vermont elopement. Adam and Alex had an intimate elopement at the Stone Hill Inn, Stowe, Vermont this fall. After the ceremony we spent some time around Stowe and even fit in their wedding moments.
From Alex and Adam:
We decided to elope in Stowe one night when we realized that having the day to ourselves to remember and cherish was the obvious and best thing for us to do. We chose Stowe because we wanted to stay in New England to get married in the fall (seemed like it would be romantic and cozy). Stowe and specifically the Stone Hill Inn popped up when I searched best places to elope in New England. We had only been to Vermont once before and never to Stowe, but we had a really good feeling about it.

Wedding cakes and cupcakes vary greatly based upon the talent, skill level, education and style of the pastry artist who is creating them. Working in the event industry allows for certain fringe benefits, one of which is getting to taste and sample the delicious offerings that come often our way. Michelle Hines from The Cakery has been ever so gracious as to bring many sample cakes for Vermont Wedding Parlor Couples to enjoy and sample. All we can say about Michelle’s wedding cakes, cupcakes, and pastries is that they are truly wonderful! She has a wide variety of flavors, styles, and techniques that will delight your visual, olfactory, and taste senses. To learn more about Michelle’s work please visit her Vermont Wedding Cake website. Please enjoy our question and answer with Michelle.
Where are you from? Tell us a little about yourself…..
I’m originally from Michigan. My family lives in the Land of General Motors, a cement playground. I graduated Johnson and Wales with a Baking and Pastry Associates and a Foodservice Management Bachelors in Charleston, Sc. I must have caught the traveling bug because instead of stogging under Premier Pastry Chefs and grinding it out in San Francisco, I chose to head out to Montana to pursue my own career in Pastry and find myself. I met my husband along the way from Utah-Seattle-Maui-Stowe Vermont. We now reside in Hyde Park and have two beautiful children.
How did you initially get involved with weddings?
I’ve always been fascinated with wedding cake. Always the first thing I personally checked out at weddings of friends and families. Early on, cake decorating was by far my favorite class. I Love the detail and precision that pastry art can accomplish. And you end up with something tangible and decadent in the end. Plus, there is something to be said for having such a huge part in one of the most memorable, rite of passage days in a person’s life.
What inspires you about working in Vermont?
The way Vermont hugs you, the feeling that it brings from its farm fresh ingredients grown and produced by hardworking people to the air and attitude of peace, respect, and trustworthiness in its town locals. It’s very special here. I’ve been told many times that my work and cakes compare that found in the city, Montreal or New York. Maybe… but, I wouldn’t be able to keep the feeling. I couldn’t have the connection with my new and old clients or all the repeat business like, doing the manager of the Green Mountain Inn’s children’s Birthday cakes for six years and running. I think I would lose the ability to touch and create every cake personally.
What is your favorite part of the wedding day?
As far as my business is concerned, I’m only there for the set-up. But, it’s a neat time. It’s quiet and it’s elaborate. When I bring the cake in everyone is hustling to complete the look and feel of the wedding and I am “the icing on the cake.”
How long have you been in the wedding industry?
Well, I started doing cakes in Maui at the Fairmont Kea Lani and that was 11 yrs. ago. I developed the standard for their wedding cake portfolio and started to come into my own feel and passion for cakes. I’ll never forget a Wedgwood China cake I made. It really resonated with me. It was so detailed and took forever to pipe. I loved everything about it. I must have taken 2 dozen pictures of it. But, I started to learn the importance of icing a cake and starting with a clean palette before beginning the design from Misha, my adopted Yugoslavian grandmother where I spent a summer icing cakes in her bakery when I was 18. They all spoke yugo all day so I listened to the grateful Dead on my headphones and iced cake for 10 hrs. A day.
What are you passionate about? What motivates you?
The art. The connection. I love creating the cake~ from simple to detailed designs. My favorite is when couples bring lots of ideas to the tasting. I always look over the pictures then turn to them and say,” tell me what you like about these.” and we develop together a unique style and design that showcases them as a couple.
What sets you apart from other professionals in your industry? What makes your work unique?
Oh, I don’t know. I think all of us (bakers) really care about using the best ingredients and as much local as possible. I think we are all artists.
I guess the only thing that might set me apart from others is just me being me. You can ask 10 different bakers to create the same cake and we will all do it differently. So, I do it how I do it. I have my touch and my eye and I guess if you see my work and taste my cake and it warms something inside of you then we should work together.

Landwehrle Photography proudly presents Brooke and Nicole’s Topnotch wedding. As Hurricane Irene made its way towards the state of Vermont Brooke and Nicole said their vows at Topnotch Resort and Spa in Stowe. It was a perfect day and sweet match. Brooke, a weatherman and lover of sweet baked goods, married Nicole a baker. As the couple cut the cake the groom exclaimed how much he loved trying all the treats his new wife made. The pending storm created a perfect dramatic sky for sunset portraits. As a lovely favor, the guests enjoyed 3-tier sugar cookies made by the bride. The rain held off and the tent at Topnotch made for a beautiful setting.

We have the honor and privilege to have met many wonderful wedding vendors in the great state of Vermont since we opened Storied Events in 2005. We are so happy to have become acquainted with a great new talent on the Vermont photography scene, Alanna Scully. Having spent over 15 years in Human Resources and Talent Acquisition, I have met many people in many different walks of life. It is rare that you meet someone who is so perfectly suited to their profession as Alanna is to photography. She is easy to get along with and so truly genuine to herself, we are so proud to have her as one of our newest wedding parlor members!
Her ebullient persona, wonderful demeanor, and genuine kindness shines through in every aspect of her work. Allana’s stylish photography has been published in various online and print publications such as Stylemepretty, Vermont Vows, and Hindsightbride. If you are looking for a super talented, high style, reasonably priced Vermont Wedding Photographer, you should certainly speak with Alanna to see if she is available on your date, don’t wait as her schedule is booking up for 2012!
Please enjoy the following photos of Alanna’s work and our Q & A:
How did you initially get involved with weddings?
I was working as a social worker when I went to a friend’s wedding and absolutely fell in love with the pictures. I had never seen wedding photography like that, and having always loved photography and taking it through high school and college for fun, I decided to ask my friend’s wedding photographers if I could apprentice for them. I was with them for one wedding season, and by the next I was taking on weddings of my own, while doing a ton of second shooting for a handful of photographers who all have different styles and approaches. I adore wedding photography and love being with people on the best day of their lives.
What inspires you about working in Vermont?
I can’t begin to describe the love I have for Vermont. I grew up coming here on family vacations and then spent several summers as a teenager working at a family camp on the Champlain islands. Everything about Vermont is inspiring; the mountain views, the sunsets over the lake, but most of all, the people. Everyone is unique, but the one thing I’ve noticed is that Vermonters are incredibly welcoming, disarmingly friendly, and united in their love of this beautiful state and keeping it clean and safe.
What is your favorite part of the wedding day?
There are so many moments that make up a wedding, and make it the special day that it is. The moment after the bride finally has her dress on is great. There’s always at least 2 bridesmaids crying, and everyone gushing over how beautiful she looks. I love when she sees the groom for the first time; whether it’s during a First Look or walking down the aisle, it’s always such a happy moment. I love the moments right after the ceremony, when they get a few minutes to relax, and just look at each other and realize “This is my husband” or “This is my wife”… the reactions to the toasts are always great too. You hear some hilarious stories!
How long have you been in the wedding industry?
3 years! I still feel like such a newbie, but I learn more about this industry every day and I love the people I have met along the way. I owe everything to those who have taken me under their wing and those who have trusted me to capture their special moments. I don’t take a minute of it for granted; I know how lucky I am to be doing what I love.
What are you passionate about? What motivates you?
Passionate is one of my favorite words in the dictionary. A friend of mine once called me high-maintenance and I was quick to correct her that I was just “passionate”. I have two tin signs hanging in my room that I got in a fabulous gift shop when I was living in Nashville. One says “Live With Passion” and the other says “Laugh Out Loud”. They have become my mantra for the way I live and the way I want to photograph. There’s nothing that makes me happier than photographing couples who can laugh at each other, full belly laughs and just be completely candid and have fun together, who share a true passion for each other and aren’t afraid to show that passion to the world. My motivation is selfish: I’d like to find true love myself one day. I don’t want to shy away from it just because I’ve never had it. I read something recently that said stop looking for the love of your life, they will be there waiting for you when you start doing things you love. I love this job, I love seeing people in love, and I love that it gives me hope for my own future and finding that special someone.
