I love Christmas!!! In fact, one of the only things I love more than Christmas is Weddings’! Despite my love for these two things, when it comes to a Winter themed wedding I somehow feel like I’ve seen it all.

Today I wanted to play with this common theme and showcase some unique ideas for a Christmas wedding! I call it ‘Romantic Elegance’.

I envision a wedding such as this in a beautiful hotel ballroom on the Upper East Side, but a savvy bride could throw a romantic and elegant soiree just about anywhere. My inspiration board features a stunning (and I mean STUNNING!) gown from Ivy & Aster, some beautiful jewel studded flowers from Blossom & Branch (check out their blog on Design Sponge Online) and a sleek & affordable bridesmaid dress from 57 Grand. The art piece masquerading as a cake is from Martha Stewart Weddings and it is the image that inspired this whole post!

Happy almost Christmas & Happy Planning! xoxo, shannon
