chrissy and josh

Chrissy and Josh were married on a snowy day in early January at a rustic camp in western Pennsylvania. It was tough to compete with the beauty of the snow falling on the woods surrounding the chapel where they wed, but I gave it a shot with decorations that fit in with the beautifully simple winter setting.

Chrissy carried a hand-tied bouquet of hydrangea, sandy roses, peach spray roses, hypericum berries, pine cones, and pine. I love how the white hydrangea looked like snow with the flowers nestled into it and the pine cones and pine tied in perfectly with the rustic woodland surroundings.


The maid of honor and sister of the bride wore a blue dress and carried a similar bouquet with the addition of light blue delphinium.

The ceremony stage was decorated with cascades of pine and flowers and garland with white lights. The windows behind the bride and groom looked out into the snowy woods, creating the perfect winter wedding backdrop.


A focal point in the chapel was this lovely fireplace. Since it was not in working order, I filled it with pillar candles of varying heights to give off a romantic and warm glow.


In keeping with the simplicity of the surroundings, the reception tables were decorated with glass votive holders filled with river rock and candles, surrounded by pine cones and peach rose petals on a navy blue tablecloth.
