Winter Wonderland, Part II

by in Inspirations, Main on

We’re back with more from our Colorado winter wonderland! First, though, we have to take a moment to wish a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one Ms Lara Casey!! It seems only appropriate to post this shoot today, as Lara happens to be back in Colorado, whizzing down the slopes with her family as we speak. From the SW ladies and all of our readers, we hope you have the most magical day!

But back to the pretty at hand. Though Shannon’s kids were a-to-the-dorable, this set of tablescape shots and couple portraits from Jeff Holt can more obviously be adapted to a wedding. And wouldn’t a winter wedding like this be divine? I love the team’s choice of a glitzy, romantic linen paired with more rustic details, and Cindy from Bloom Flower Shop in Breckenridge outdid herself on the florals. Do we have any readers planning a winter wedding? (Or, perhaps, who just had one?) Share in the comments!

Enough with the pretty people — on to the table!

    This might be a weird question, but I just LOVE those forks. Do you know where the flatware came from?

      Hi Lindsey! Not a weird question at all! :) I don’t have the source for the flatware at the moment, but I’ll look into it and let you know what I find. Thanks for stopping by!

    This winter table setting is gorgeous. I secretly think everyone wishes they could have a winter wedding. The snow backdrop is gorgeous. And the apothecary jars with nuts and ornaments! Ah!

Ashley is a bride after my own heart. First the gor-geous gown, and now the stunning cake? (In case you couldn’t tell, I’m a lover of all things bow: bow tie, bow dress, bow cake, I love ’em all.) Just in case you were fooled by the lifelike airplane, the Air Force-inspired groom’s cake is the handiwork of the Ritz Carlton Pastry Shop. And yes, that is the bride, a former cheerleader at Florida State University, performing a cheer routine at her wedding. No big deal. I do believe Sara Kauss has made my Monday – and, quite possibly, my week – with this Florida wedding.

See all the photos from Ashley + Judd’s wedding in their Real Wedding Gallery!

What Southern details or traditions did you include in your celebration? My parents who were born and raised in Beaufort, SC have raised my 2 sisters and I on a tradition of a frogmore stew a.k.a. the low country boil every year. My family introduced Judd’s family to the amazing feast during Judd’s pilot graduation weekend. For the rehearsal dinner, Judd’s parents arranged for the head chef at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes Orlando to duplicate my dad’s recipe card he had given to Judd’s dad. They had written on a chalkboard sign “A Boxx Family Tradition.” It brought home and our southern way to a beautiful wedding. It was the perfect beginning to an amazing wedding weekend. My something Blue was a 1940s powder blue hanky that I ordered from etsy to represent not only my something blue, and the fact that my dress had amazing pockets but also to represent the love of history, oldies, and the days of a simpler time Judd and I love so much.
Tell us about finding your wedding dress: In Utah, designer dresses are few and far between. Priscilla of Boston was top on my list. It was in the first boutique I went to, Avenia Bridal, that I saw a dress on display that caught my eye. I immediately fell in love and knew it was just so me. I continued to shop around and still couldn’t take my mind and thoughts away from this one dress. I decided to go with my heart and order the beautiful Maeve gown from the Priscilla of Boston in Orlando, where the wedding would take place.
Describe your wedding flowers: My wedding flowers were absolutely amazing. It was a winter wonderland wrapped up in a beautifully displayed bouquet mixed with white roses, white peonies, white ranunculus, and silver foliage such as lambs ear, silver brunia, and mini white pine cones. Deco ice rhinestones were worked throughout bouquet and the full stem was wrapped with extra material from the alterations of my gown. Around the stem I had picture frame charms of our family members that had passed and couldn’t be there to watch us wed.
Describe your wedding cake: My wedding cake was simple and elegant. It was 4 tiers with ivory fondant and two large navy bows that duplicated the bow on my dress. We put a broach in the center of each bow to add some sparkle. The groom’s cake was a surprise to both the groom and I. Judd’s father planned the whole thing with the JW Marriott Pastry Chef. It was a large C-17 Landing on a Charleston AFB runway. It was absolutely amazing.
What’s next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future? Judd is being deployed at the end of this month and were excited to go on our honeymoon in April when he returns. We’re looking forward to a happy healthy life together full of love and laughter.

      Rachel, tell me about it! I could barely walk – let alone do toe-touches – in my wedding dress!

Whew! We hope y’all had a fabulous weekend of poking around the new site. We don’t want to inundate you with even more posts when you already have so much exploring to do (though we have SO much to share!), so today, we’re just going to introduce you to one of the editorial galleries. It’s the one for 1/3 of our “Southern by Design” feature from V3, a photoshoot dreamed up by Emily and Joy at Once Wed. I thought Joy’s imagining of old engine parts as palmetto fronds was a particularly genius starting point for the design, and everything else seemed to fall into place after that. Head to the gallery to see all the details, but not before thanking Jen Curtis for the lovely images!

P.S. Still confused about the new site features? Make sure to read this post!

Concept and Design: Emily Newman and Joy Thigpen // Styling: Joy Thigpen Environments // Photography: Jen Curtis // Venue: An Atlanta parking garage // Flowers: Joy Thigpen // Flatware: Found // Rentals: We Rent Atlanta // Linen: Vintage // Calligraphy: Betsy Dunlap
