Elegant Winter Wedding

If y’all know anything about us, you know we love warm weather! Even though we reside in chilly Chicago, we’re always in a Palm Beach state of mind. Think drinks on the water, Lilly dresses, and lots of fun in the sun!! We love all things warm weather!! But…when we got pictures back from Claire and Chris’ winter wedding…it kind of makes us love the snow. Held in the bride’s hometown of Gleview, Illinois (a northern suburb of Chicago), their winter wedding was nothing short of pure magic! With elegant gold and cream decor, a touch of holiday red, and lots of twinkling Christmas lights…Chris and Claire’s wedding was a picture perfect winter wedding. Take a peek at one of our favorite cold weather weddings below!!

Even though the couple sent out their save the dates in August, they wanted to prepare guests for their big day and get them into a winter state of mind. So, we helped them create a gold foil stamped masterpiece! The save the date was printed in gold foil, on top of a watermarked snowflake. The square pieces was then mounted on holiday red paper. Our favorite feature of their save the date was the envelope liner, which featured a golf-foil stamped snowflake pattern. So fancy!

When creating the couple’s wedding invitations, they wanted something traditional, but with a modern twist. So we mixed calligraphy with block font to create an elegant (and stunning) invitation! To give the traditional invitation a contemporary update, we printed the invitation in gold foil stamping, and wrapped the entire ensemble with a holiday red belly band (which was sealed with the couple’s custom wedding monogram). All edges of their wedding invitation were gilded and beveled, which highlighted the beautiful gold process!

Ps. If you’ve been following our blog, Claire and Chris might look familiar! We helped Claire’s mom throw the couple an amazing nautical engagement party at their Lake Geneva home last summer. We also helped Claire’s mom and her sister (the maid of honor) create the most amazing bachelorette party welcome bags and invitations for her Scottsdale bachelorette party!
