Happy Wedding Wednesday!
Today's wedding is quite a treat- a darling, rustic affair in Australia. It's the complete rustic, romantic package with a candlelit ceremony & intimate barn-like reception. Not to mention a killer classic car or two! Gold Hat Photography shows us the beauty:
Kirby & Jonathan were married on November 3 in Victoria, Australia at Emu Bottom Homestead. The historical venue is surrounded by pretty gardens & rural countryside, perfect for a rustic wedding celebration. The wedding day began with the Bride arriving at the venue in style, traveling in a vintage black beauty. The marriage ceremony took place at The Slab Hut, a charming former farm worker's cottage lit by the soft glow of candlelight. In this natural warmth, the Bride & Groom said "I Do!" in front of their close family & friends. An intimate reception followed in The Woolshed, made of rough hewn beams & filled with candles, bunting, poms & clusters of flowers. Here, the Bride, Grooom & their guests had a great time celebrating!
My Favorite Moment: The newlyweds stealing a kiss in their cool vintage ride!
My Favorite Detail: The venue is absolutely unique & awesome.
Congratulations, Kirby & Jonathan!

Doesn't this fantastic image make you smile? I can't help it. The happy couple, the rainbow confetti, the all-out celebration. It makes me forget the lingering cold & dusting of snow that came this way yesterday during this seemingly endless winter. Instead, I'm thinking of all the wonderful things in my life & the countless reasons to toss a little confetti. It's so easy to forget in the hustle & bustle of life but there is always room for confetti.
As always, I'm wishing you smiles, happiness & confetti!

Bride favorites like peonies may not be in season during winter but winter wedding flowers can be just as stunning as any other season. Here, I've gathered my favorite winter wedding centerpieces to show you. The color palettes & style vary but every centerpiece makes winter shine in all its glory.
Winter can really be quite lovely!

Happy Wedding Wednesday!
As I mentioned yesterday, this winter has been a little intense with snowstorm after snowstorm. That's why I'm thrilled to pieces to bring you a beautiful winter wedding in Florida with no snow in sight! Instead you'll see military pride, ocean views and a lovely green & white color palette. Limelight Photography shows us the beauty:
Merritt & Will got married on January 3 at Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa in Clearwater Beach, Florida. Both the Bride & the Groom have served our great country in the United States Army. Because they love nothing more than to relax by the beach in their downtime, Clearwater Beach was a perfect choice for their wedding. Although their winter wedding day was a little cold by Florida standards, the Bride & Groom's genuine smiles created a warmth that was felt by all.
After a sweet First Look, the Bride & Groom said "I Do!" at the Sky Terrace, an intimate rooftop terrace with sparkling Gulf of Mexico views. The space was simply, yet beautifully decorated, with a focal point of a white fabric altar and an aisle lined with baby's breath poms. Family & friends watched as the Bride & Groom said their vows. A spectacular sunset marked the end of the ceremony & the beginning of a marriage.
Dinner, dancing & general merriment took place at the Aqaulea Ballroom, tastefully decorated with iron candle lanterns perched atop tree stumps & surrounded by green & white flowers, rocks & candles for a cozy feel on a winter night. A perfect setting for a fun party! Towards the end of the night, the white wedding cake topped by two adorable whales was threatened with the Groom's sword. In a final flourish, the newlyweds said good-bye in grand style with a sparkler departure!
My Favorite Moment: The Bride & Groom taking a sword to their wedding cake!
My Favorite Detail: The wedding cake with its two simple layers accented with a middle layer of clustered sugar flowers.
Congratulations, Merritt & Will!

I'll admit: after nine snowstorms, I'm pretty much ready for this winter to make its grand exit and make way for spring. But I soldier on with my winter wedding inspiration because I still love winter weddings. Today's inspiration is simple yet incredibly stunning.
Here we have the church entrance for a winter wedding decorated with candle lanterns, pinecone wreaths and white uplighting. Instant warm & cozy feel! Not to mention so beautiful. All it needs is a light dusting of snow to complete the look . . .
