It’s no secret that I’m a sucker for winter weddings! I even got married during the winter months myself! What is there not to love about the Christmas spirit, beautiful light displays, & the rich, warm color pallets this time of year?

Luckily for me, I was invited to create some winter magic at the Washington Pavillion for a beautiful styled shoot. The Washington Pavillion was the perfect place to hang a jaw dropping installation & create a warm backdrop to fit our theme.

Of course, our friends at The Flower Mill knew just what my vision was & made it come to life. How stunning is this evergreen table runner & hanging installation?! Insiders Tip: Evergreen is more cost efficient compared to your other greens such as eucalyptus & ruscus. Another reason to plan your happily ever after during the winter!

One of my FAVORITE pieces from this shoot is the kraft paper runner that adds all of the cozy personalization a sweetheart table needs. Did you know The Flower Mill has an in-house calligrapher that can create all of your calligraphy needs on items like this, mirrors, & more?!

Another fun favorite of mine is using candles as decorations EVERYWHERE! They create the most intimate setting for your ceremony & reception. Ask some of our favorite vendors like The Flower Mill, Prairie Lane Vintage Rentals, or ABC Special Events what they have to offer for your candle needs from tealights to pillars to tapers!

I can’t thank Bri Photography & Honeylane Wedding Films enough for capturing every single detail perfectly from the beautifully crafted desserts from The Cake Lady to the intricate details put together from B.Invited to the flatware & napkins from ABC Special Events that tied the sweetheart table together & the cozy setting of the warm wooden table, emerald settee, & hot chocolate bar items from Prairie Lane Vintage Rentals.

Last but not least, we can not forget about the vendors who made our already stunning models glow for this shoot! Thank you to The Factory crew for always making our brides look like the queens they are! And how can one not fall IN LOVE with this bridal gown from Marie & Marie?! Every single little detail of this gown is breathtaking.
