The weather outside may be frightful, but a winter wedding can be so delightful! There are so many fun ways to embrace the season — whether through winter greenery in your bouquet or holiday decorations. This time of year can be fun to bring family and friends together for celebration.

Tis’ the season to light the fireplace. We have loved seeing our brides light the fire and decorate the mantle with bright seasonal colors and greenery.

While having holiday decorations may not be in your wedding vision, we have loved seeing our brides add them to their day. The twinkle lights, ornaments, and festive cake toppers can bring the cheer to your celebration with family and friends. We also have loved how brides have added some holiday flare to their centerpieces and table settings.
