I wanted to post the pictures from my December wedding for all those bride's planning a Winter wedding next year. There are some great inspirations here with everything from fireplace mantles to topiaries with strings of fresh cranberries. The ceremony was held on the campus of Creighton University at St. John's Church. The reception location at the Joslyn Castle was perfect for this style which the bride referred to as Colonial Williamsburg. If you aren't familiar with Williamsburg at Christmas (which I was not before I did this wedding) you should definitely check out this website: http://www.history.org/visit/christmas/
The bride's bouquet consisted of Cymbidium Orchid blossoms, Vendella Roses, burgundy Miniature Calla Lilies, Antique Hydrangeas, green Hypericum berries, and Spray Roses with a collar of fresh Magnolia foliage and Flat Cedar. The centerpieces mimicked the bridal bouquet with the addition of pinecones, boxwood and assorted evergreens arranged in a cylinder vase.
The fireplace in the Grand Hall was the focal point for the entire reception venue. Large column candles glowed in tall glass vases filled with fresh cranberries. Clove studded oranges, pineaplles, apples and other fruits filled the niches of the ornate carved wood mantle. Rustic reindeer constructed of twigs were nestled in fresh evergreens and looked out over the guests all evening.
The bridal party and a few of the guests were beginning to arrive at the Joslyn Castle. The chandelier in the Music Room was ornately decorated with fresh evergreens and hanging pepperberry along with fresh orchid and rose blossoms.
There was fresh snow on the ground the day of the wedding which made the whole event seem all the more magical this time of year. Luminaries adorned with fresh pine and magnolia leaves lined the drive leading to the front door where guests entered the Castle.
