On May 3, 2026, Chelsea and Dylan celebrated their engagement with a spring session in Brattleboro, Vermont. Their photographs captured a special season in their relationship as they began preparing for marriage. Throughout the planning process, they remained grounded in the support of family and friends, remembering what mattered most. Chelsea shared a simple but powerful perspective: “This day is about us.” Months later, on September 9, 2026, they gathered their loved ones for a beautiful Wedding at Newport, Vermont, celebrating their commitment in a picturesque lakeside setting. Surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated their marriage with thoughtful details, a memorable bright red vintage pickup truck arrival, and an evening filled with heartfelt toasts and dancing. Their wedding reflected what mattered most to them: choosing each other and sharing this special milestone with the people who had supported them along the way.

Morning Preparations

The wedding morning began with the details that made Chelsea and Dylan’s celebration uniquely theirs. Chelsea’s wedding dress, rings, and bridal accessories reflected the care she had put into her look, while her bouquet from Girlhouse Greenhouse added natural beauty and delicate floral touches. The venue decor complemented the setting and created a welcoming atmosphere for the day’s festivities.

Chelsea’s bridal look featured a beautiful white gown from Alexandria’s Boutique with delicate lace detailing, intricate floral appliqués, and a fitted bodice that flowed into a full skirt. The sleeveless design showcased the lacework along the neckline and bodice, while the long, flowing skirt added graceful movement to her portraits. She carried a lush bouquet of white and soft blush flowers from Girlhouse Greenhouse, accented with greenery and delicate trailing foliage. The subtle color palette complemented her gown while adding a natural, garden-inspired touch to the day. The Vermont Beauty Collective (@thevermontbeautycollective) provided hair styling and makeup services, completing her bridal look with care. Her hair was styled in an elegant low bun, with a clean, polished finish that kept the look classic and allowed the details of her dress to shine.

As the final preparations came together, family and friends offered encouragement and helped with the finishing touches. Their presence echoed Chelsea’s belief that a strong support system makes wedding planning more enjoyable and meaningful.
