Planning a Garden-Style Wedding in Burlington, VT?
Here’s How to Tie in Your Florals + Invitations
it’s the first impression of your celebration
There’s something magical about a garden-style wedding in Vermont—lush blooms, natural textures, and a romantic, organic atmosphere. If you’re planning your celebration in Burlington, VT, you already have the beauty of Lake Champlain and the charm of New England as your backdrop.
But to truly bring your vision to life, one of the most impactful things you can do is ensure your wedding flowers and stationery work together seamlessly. Here’s how to tie it all in for a cohesive, unforgettable wedding design.
1. Start with a Unified Design Vision
Your flowers and invitations should both reflect your wedding’s overall style—whether that’s romantic and whimsical, classic and timeless, or fresh and modern.
For a garden-inspired Burlington wedding, think soft color palettes, seasonal blooms, and natural textures. Pair this with invitations featuring watercolor florals, delicate calligraphy, or botanical illustrations to set the tone.
Pro Tip: Share your floral inspiration with your stationer (or better yet, hire one creative for both). That way, your stationery can echo your bouquet’s blooms or your ceremony arch’s textures.
2. choosing your color palette
Your invitations are the first impression your guests have of your day, and they should reflect not only your style but also your wedding color palette. Whether you’re drawn to soft romantic pastels, bright trending tones, or rich fall rust hues, custom stationery ensures your vision shines through. For a Burlington venue like the Farmhouse at the Essex Resort & Spa, imagine invitations wrapped in vellum with pressed florals that mirror your bouquet, or lakeside designs in soft watercolor blues inspired by Lake Champlain.

3. Invitations Set the Tone
Your invitations are the first impression your guests have of your day. Custom stationery ensures that impression matches the beauty of your wedding flowers.
For a Burlington venue like the Farmhouse at the Essex Resort & Spa, imagine invitations wrapped in vellum with pressed floral details that mirror the seasonal flowers at your reception. Or, if you’re marrying lakeside, soft watercolor waves and botanical accents can bring Lake Champlain right into your paper suite.
4. Florals Bring the Vision to Life
On the wedding day itself, your flowers are what guests will see, touch, and experience. Romantic garden-style wedding florals—lush bouquets, airy centerpieces, and whimsical ceremony backdrops—add movement and emotion to your celebration.
When your stationery has already introduced those elements, it creates an instant sense of cohesion. Guests notice the details: the floral illustrations on their menus echoing the garden roses in their centerpiece, or a seating chart design inspired by your bouquet’s color palette.
5. Why Hire One Designer for Both
When you hire separate vendors, you risk having mismatched styles or details lost in translation. But when one creative team handles both your wedding flowers and stationery, you get a seamless design process and a wedding that feels truly intentional.
As a Burlington Vermont wedding florist and stationery designer, I help couples connect the dots—from their first save-the-date to their last dance surrounded by blooms. Every paper detail and every petal tells the same love story.
6. Final Thoughts
Your Burlington, VT wedding deserves to feel cohesive, intentional, and romantic from start to finish. By tying together your wedding flowers and custom invitations, you’ll create a garden-inspired celebration that not only looks beautiful but also feels meaningful.
