Winter Glam

December 21, 2011   |   Posted in: ,

This Christmas we are in the mood for glamour. We enlisted the inspiring minds from Blush Botanicals, Brightly Designed and She Wanders Photography to help us capture the look of a soft and serene totally glam winter scene.

In lieu of a traditional holiday color scheme we chose a wintery palette of grays, silver, white, and blush. The result is a setting worthy of a gourmet Christmas dinner or a chic wedding tabletop any time of year.

“All is Calm, All is Bright” just felt right to express the mood for our holiday table.

I am a little obsessed with fluffy white feathers softening the look of holiday décor this year. We incorporated feathers into elements of our tabletop from napkin tucks, name tag wreaths, and even the flowers.

Those amazing peonies, roses and hydrangea are downright dreamy dangling along with crystals and votives.

Wishing you a sparkly, joyful, love-filled holiday!

In her words…

My relationship in three words:
Loving, respectful, & fun!

My wedding in three words:
Romantic, whimsical, & fun!

My wedding style:
Our wedding style was vintage-chic with clean lines, vintage touches, and romantic elements.

My wedding inspiration:
Romantic lighting was a big inspiration in our wedding.  Market lights and tons of candles were important to that!   We also toured L’Auberge Hotel and really liked their decor, so we tried to bring their French Chic style into our wedding.

How we made the wedding “us”:
We made our wedding us by including certain traditional elements that were important to us. For example, not seeing each other on our wedding day until the ceremony, writing our vows together, and having the groom’s father marry us were all important. We also chose a venue setting that fit our style. We both love the outdoors, so we chose a venue that allowed us to have the whole event outside.

My favorite decor detail:
We loved all of the decor details at the wedding.  The draped sheer fabric surrounding our beach setting really set a dramatic and romantic mood with the market lights overhead.  However, the most touching decor elements were the small detailed ones.  Hand painted vases, vintage picture frames hung above our sweetheart table, and vintage-chic furniture placed in romantic corners in our reception truly made the decor stunning.

My favorite moment of the wedding day:
Our favorite moment of the wedding day was right as dinner was being served.  We were sitting at our sweetheart table and looking around at all of our family and friends, surrounded by the beautiful decor.  We knew this night would pass by fast so we took a moment to take it all in.  That moment surrounded by such love and beauty at the same time was so perfect.
