With all of the icy cold weather we've been having here in Mississippi, we were inspired to share this winter wedding with you. The bride loves a themed party and her holiday spirit was shown in every detail. So, for all of you winter 2014 brides, here is some stunning inspiration captured by Danny K Photography.
Jane and Adam met in Olympia, Washington at a dive bar called The Reef. Jane knew right away that Adam was something special because he wrote her number down on his hand using a pen with Abe Lincoln's head on it! The two hit it off and were engaged at the beach during the summer solstice and married exactly six months later on the winter solstice at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Oxford. The reception followed at the cozy City Grocery on the square.

Jane searched for what felt like years (two afternoons, but they were long afternoons..) for her perfect wedding dress before deciding to have it made. What she was looking for was a 1950's style cocktail dress and she knew she would never find it in a boutique. To go along with her one-of-a-kind dress, she had one-of-a-kind shoes! To ensure that they were the exact color she wanted, her mother put her DIY skills to use and spray painted them gold. And the complete the look she carried a bouquet accented with winter greenery such as pine, spruce and douglas fir.

The wedding party was filled with the people that Jane and Adam love most and each of them are different, so they didn't want to make them wear something specific that was not their style. Each bridesmaid got to choose her own dress and each groomsman was allowed to sport their best tacky Christmas sweater vest. Only if they wanted to, of course! But, who wouldn't?

Along with the traditional bride and groom's cakes, Jane and Adam had a third cake made for her grandparents. They celebrated their 60th anniversary the day before the wedding and got their very own surprise celebration.

From the colored lights lining the room (must always use colored lights!) to the one of a kind ornaments hanging from the ceiling (made by Jane's mother), the spirit of Christmas was everywhere at the reception. Guests were greeted by a copy of the "Night Before Christmas" to sign in place of your normal guest registry book and the groom's cake looked like a gorgeous Christmas gift topped with a big gold bow.
