It’s so easy to think Winter weddings always mean fir trees, roaring fires and a snowy backdrop, but today’s inspiration shoot is a beautiful reminder that not everywhere experiences the same plunging temperatures, and in certain places it is perfectly possible to plan a romantic outdoor celebration – even in some of the coolest months!

Renee of Poshitively Perfect Events shared….. “Most of the time, Winter in Southern California is absolutely beautiful. Cooler daytime temperatures give way to crisp evenings. Combine that with a warm candlelit ceremony, and it almost becomes the icing on the jaw-dropping blue marble cake!!!

To help set the wintery mood, we chose a color palette of cool icy blues and marbled alabaster tones. The warm pops of creamy delicate florals and copper balanced out this elegant backyard affair perfectly! Copper candlesticks supporting cream silk spun candles draw your eye to the beautiful tablescape. Tall, slender french blue tapers brought an unexpected richness to the look.

Flourish-shaped marble chargers, vintage china and glassware, as well as splendid hand-tied floral arrangements would entice any guest to sit, sip, and enjoy the beauty around them. Or perhaps you would delight in sitting under a dramatically rustic tin roof structure, which provided the organic backdrop for an exceptional scene. As you gaze at the rich blue velvet chair, it seems to invite cherished conversations.

The custom designed invitation suite and escort cards adorned with delicate calligraphy were just a few of the thoughtful details that put this collaboration over the top! Our amazing photographers and videographer perfectly captured the beauty of the day. So get ready to grab a glass of mulled wine (or coffee, or whatever else is your favorite!) and bask in this beautiful wedding inspiration.”
