Thank you so much, Rachel, for sharing your absolutely beautiful wedding with all of us! I feel completely inspired by your ideas, your creativity and your thoughtfulness.
Here are a few last pictures from Rachel…
from Rachel…
The day could not have been MORE perfect. We were blown away that evening and overwhelmed by our amazing friends and family. My mom was the one who truly made it happen. She sat and listened to every single thing I wanted and she did it. I am still amazed how everything came together perfectly.
I am just so impressed with Rachel and her thoughtful approach to her wedding. Here are a few more images and some wonderful details from Rachel’s Winter wedding…
from Rachel…
We had a total of 9 kids in the wedding. We love kids and especially the ones in our family! My nephew Ethan is the only little boy in the tuxedo that matches the groomsmen and our niece, who was under 3 months old, is the one riding down in the sleigh. I really wanted her to be a part of the day and the only way we could think of getting her down the aisle was to ride in a custom-made sleigh or have my sister carry her along with her bouquet. Lol. We went with the sleigh.
A bit more from Rachel and her gorgeous Winter wedding…
With the exception of my dress and the tuxes, everything in the wedding was handmade. All the branches in the centerpieces and the “snowy” trees came from fallen trees at my husband’s family’s ranch. We hand-flocked them all ourselves and we flocked the branches for the bouquets as well!
I designed the bridesmaid & candle lighter dresses and picked out the beautiful raw silk material down at the LA garment district; that was an exciting part of the planning…being able to pick EXACTLY what I wanted for my bridesmaids instead of settling for an assembly line dress. In addition I designed (or had custom designed) my veil, bracelet and the “snow” girl outfits (which my mom made) .
When Rachel, one of our readers, emailed me the images from her recent Winter wedding…I fell in love. I have always been a huge fan of winter weddings. There is just something so romantic and dreamy about a wedding in the snow with twinkling lights and gorgeous winter palettes. Rachel’s wedding was just that…
Although these pictures really are just a sneak peak of the entire affair, I thought they were a lovely way to introduce this wedding. Rachel has been sweet enough to share with us a few of the details….
