This inspiration board is focused on the loveliness of a winter wedding! Not too many people think of having a winter wedding because of the cold, the empty look of nature, and the dreariness. When in fact, you could have a beautiful wedding in the winter! Yes, wedding pictures outside would be chilly, but think of how neat they would look! There’s something about the look of a white wedding dress against white snow that looks so magical.

As far as your color scheme goes, you’re really able to choose any color, pattern, and style. You would never think of a sequin table cloth as being neutral, but it is! You’re able to add just about any color or pattern and it will absolutely compliment your table cloth!

In this inspiration board, you see white bouquets, blue accents and decorations. While these look fantastic for a winter wedding, don’t feel like that’s the scheme you have to choose! Unlike a spring or fall wedding where there can be a feeling of having to choose certain colors and flowers, with a winter wedding, just about every color and pattern works perfectly!

StudioWed is wishing everyone a very Happy Holiday Season!

About Kristyn Hogan Photography: 

When I was ten years old, I picked up a camera, dressed my three year old little brother in a suit, wrapped a white blanket around the neighbor girl and took them into the backyard to take their “wedding photos.” Eight years later, I shot my first wedding with a real bride & groom and fell completely in love. I fell in love with capturing life, with finding a moment and holding onto it forever. It’s been eleven years since that first wedding and I’m still falling in love with these moments that tell a story. And having my husband by my side for every one of them makes me the luckiest girl in the world.

A few things I love besides the look on a groom’s face as he watches his bride walk down the aisle. Jesus. Making my husband laugh. Football. Switzerland. Board games. And closing my eyes & breathing in fresh air.

Please enjoy the moments & stories you find here. I’d love to hear your story.

We love these tips for good luck on your special day!

You’re already lucky in love, but are you destined to have good wedding day luck? Well, it’s time to find out! We’re not big believers in superstitions by any means, and we know you’ll be blessed on your big day regardless of whether or not you do these things. Just for fun though, we decided to dig up four ways you can theoretically “increase” your wedding day luck.

1. Set off fireworks after the ceremony
According to many wedding planners, lighting fireworks after your ceremony is over is supposed to ward off evil spirits. It’s actually common practice at Chinese weddings, where they believe the loud noise of the firecrackers will scare the spirits away. While a full-on firework show may be a tough one to swing depending on your budget and where you live, it would definitely make for the most epic cocktail hour ever, that is, if it’s dark enough out yet.

2. Wear a veil
Speaking of evil spirits, another tried and true way to keep those wicked suckers away on your wedding day is to rock your veil on your walk down the aisle, says Corn. This superstition dates all the way back to the Ancient Romans. Back then brides wore flame-colored veils that completely covered their face as a way to protect themselves from the spirits. Hmm, wonder if it works on crazy family members too?

3. Add some lavender to your bouquet
Not only does it smell great, but Corn tell us that adding a little lavender, as a symbol of happiness, to your wedding bouquet will bring good fortune to your union. Brides, you can thank the luck of the Irish for this tradition.

4. Put a silver sixpence in your shoe
We’re all familiar with the good luck charms, “something old, something borrowed, something blue”. But did you know that after that the saying goes, “And a silver sixpence in her shoe”? Stick one in your left heel or flat on your big day, and you’ll be blessed beyond measure (or so we’d like to think!). For extra luck and prosperity, sprinkle a dash of salt in your right shoe!

and beyond the call of duty. Apart from having absolutely

delicious food, they are a delight to work with and

incredibly professional all the way around. They have done

several smaller events at the Musicians Hall of Fame as well

as a recent one of over 600 guests and completely knock it

recommendation every time!”

• “Amazing. I am a banana pudding snob, and these were some of the best desserts I

have tasted. I had 6. Confession. Their Key Lime Minis and Chocolate ganache smores

were also amazing. Not to mention, the staff were all so nice and as soon as I got done

eating they immediately came by to grab my dish.”

• “Attentive staff, and exceptional desserts”
