As we begin to count down the days to Christmas, today’s glamorous woodland wedding editorial couldn’t be any more perfect. Marrying edgy elements with rustic, woodsy ones, it creates a contemporary interpretation of a holiday wedding – without feeling too over the top Christmassy. Thanks to its simple color palette of emerald green, gold, black and ivory accents, it remains instead understated and oh-so-chic!

Here to share a few words it stylist Becky of Daly Digs….. “The stunning backdrop of the pine tree forest provided the perfect juxtaposition to the glam elements and refined color palette of our holiday shoot.

The bride wore a Daalarna Couture gown from The Bride Tampa. The sultry top added just the right amount of drama to the bridal fashion. In her hand, she carried a garden style bouquet from Braun’s Fine Flowers, complete with gold succulents and a ribbon black as night. Lush greenery, complete with evergreens to fulfil the spirit of the season filled out the flowers. The groom wore an emerald suit jacket with a simple black tie. His boutonniere mirrored the bride’s bouquet.

For the dining table, we paired rustic wood tones with dramatic black accents and sequins, and florals full of texture composed of unique foliage alongside stunning garden roses in mismatched brass vessels. At every place, sat black flatware and a dinner menu. Hand-painted macarons from Sweets Illustrated were nestled among woodsy moss welcoming each guest.

The evening concluded with Christopher Cakes show-stopper four-tier dessert displayed on a vintage emerald cake stand.”
