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!

Since summer unofficially ended last weekend, I'm excited to jump into Fall weddings, starting with this pretty little red & black September gem. From invitations to card box to wine favors, the Bride crafted plenty of DIY details to admire. My very favorite detail? The Bride's very original, very cute party nail!! Joe Hendricks Photography was on hand to capture this beauty:
The fun-loving couple, Wendy & Ramey, met in the military while they were training for a half-marathon. They started dating & things were set in motion when Ramey proposed to Wendy on romantic New Year's Eve. They settled on an early September wedding date & decided to create a cool red & black wedding. The couple made their simple, beautiful red & black pocket wedding invitation to set the tone.
Wendy & Ramey tied the knot in an intimate, outdoor ceremony at Cheekwood Botanical Garden, a lush, beautiful space accented by a large exhibit of colorful glass-blown artwork. A coordinating, DIY red & black wedding program guided the guests through the ceremony. The Bride wore white but stayed true to her red & black color scheme with fun red heels & dramatic black lace wrapped around her full, white bouquet of hydrangeas, roses & calla lilies. As a sweet surprise to her Groom, the Bride wrote "I Do" on her ring finger, the ultimate party nail for a wedding!
The party continued at The Standard Nashville with more DIY, personalized details starting with escort cards made of white lace, red ribbon & white paper overlaid on black tented cards to direct guests to their tables. The reception tables were named after the couple's favorite football teams & their beloved pets. Each table had a black linen, a black & white damask runner & an arrangement of red roses & white flowers in a sleek, black vase. The three-tiered, round white wedding cake featured red ribbons, red & white roses & a sparkly monogram topper. The Groom's cake wasn't quite as elegant but it was a cute nod to the Groom's favorite football team, Arkansas Razorbacks. When the fun party came to a close, the lucky guests took home a favor of bottled homemade wine decorated with a DIY red & black label.
Congratulations, Wendy & Ramey!

Today's lovely wedding brings us to the western slope of Colorado, a budget-friendly location with million dollar views! With a beautiful Bride, a reluctant ring pup, plenty of cowboys & cowgirls, this wedding is truly country-western. Vendla Stockdale shares the beauty with us through her photos:
Micah & Hardy's summer wedding took place on a homestead in western Colorado. With a rustic log cabin & gorgeous grounds, they let the nature's beauty shine bright on their wedding day.
Micah wore a white, strapless wedding gown embroidered with red flowers & a matching veil. She carried a bouquet of red roses accented with pearls & green leaves. With a big smile that never left her face, she was a pretty Bride!
The bridal party matched with the bridesmaids in red dresses & the Groom & his Groomsmen in red vests & ties. Cowboys hats were a must for the men! Micah's cute pup served as the ring pup with red & white roses decorating her collar.
Micah & Hardy said their marriage vows in an open meadow. The ring pup wasn't thrilled about walking down the aisle but her Mom was more than happy to walk down the aisle & marry her handsome cowboy!
The celebration continued on the wide front porch of the log cabin with its sweeping meadow views. The cowboys & cowgirls danced to country music until the sun dipped below the horizon!
