{Festive DIY Christmas Wedding} Erica & Dan

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

As the winter wedding celebration continues, I am truly honored to bring you a winter wedding, holiday-style.  Think poinsettias, holly & candy canes!  Here to show us every festive delight is Michelle Zahn Photography:  

When Erica & Dan got engaged, there was no other choice for the Bride than a holiday wedding.  At last, she could combine her love for Dan & for Christmas by creating a festive, beautiful wedding.  They set the wedding date for December 15, 2012 in Westminster, Maryland.  The Bride chose her favorite Christmas things & began to incorporate them into her DIY holiday wedding.

The Bride & Groom got married in a traditional Lutheran ceremony at Grace Lutheran church.  The Bride made ceremony programs decorated with holly that complimented the church's beautiful Christmas decorations, including Christmas trees, garland & white lights.  She carried a full bouquet of red roses made holiday-style with red berries & greenery.  Near a towering Christmas tree, the Bride & Groom became husband & wife.

Much more holiday joy was to come at the reception at St. John's Portico.  Lovingly made by the Bride, the red poinsettia centerpieces brought the holiday-style to the reception.  The four-tier round wedding cake featured poinsettias cascading down its side & a glittery red monogram on top.  The favors were (what else?) candy canes displayed in red & green buckets.  In this festive fashion, the Bride & Groom celebrated their marriage!

My Favorite Moment:  The Groom's nephew walking down the aisle with the "Uncle Dan here comes your Erica!" sign.  Precious.

My Favorite Detail: I'm loving the bright red bridal bouquet with the holiday touches of berries &  
greenery.

Congratulations, Erica & Dan!
