An elegant strapless dress with silver accents and finished with a white cardigan by Priscilla of Boston is complimented by a light blue dress with darker blue ribbon by Alfred Angelo. Guests of this wintery wedding received beautiful light blue and silver invitations that set the tone for the wintery nuptials long before the vows were exchanged. The tables are decorated in light blue with silver and crystal accents. Snowflakes and snowy pinecones are an added wintery touch to the whole occasion. While enjoying the snowy view from the window, the guests are warmed by deliciously flavoured coffees and hot chocolate and indulge in icey looking cupcakes. At the end of the evening, everyone is sent home with candied marshmellows to enjoy.


{It's the Little Touches ...}

You'll be sure to turn heads in an elegant wrap that truly exudes the wintery feel of a holiday wedding.

These little place cards are a great project for the DIY bride. Paint some pinecones (try scented for the extra wow factor) with silver or white paint and add glitter for a bit of sparkle. Top it all off with with hand written label. These even make great favours simply by adding personalized tags.

Frosted cookies, white marshmellows, or candies make a great favor for this palette when placed in a clear or silver box that is finished off with a hand tied ribbon.

I have something special in store for you all next week, so be sure to check in often!
