If an intimate, family only, evening ceremony lit by candlelight doesn’t get you into the holiday spirit perhaps the Christmas color palette of white, golds and greens will bring out your inner holly jolly. This sweet wedding shot by Amanda Wagner Photography just screams it’s the most wonderful time of the year, and for this couple it was certainly the best day of the year. Planned in just four short months, the couple got exactly what they wanted this Christmas – each other. It’s classic Christmas inspiration at its finest and there is even more in the gallery.

From the photographer, Amanda Wagner…An intimate family only Christmas themed affair. The bride planned a candle lit evening ceremony, and decorated from a holiday palette of white, gold and green. Elegant hors d’oeuvres were enjoyed by guests around the enormous Christmas tree immediately following the heartfelt nuptials. The venue provided a country landscape and private estate feel with stunning attention to detail. No one can deny the warm holiday spirit while sipping fresh cinnamon infused apple cider. All that was missing was a pristine blanket of snow. Something I admired about Sharron and Joel was their speedy and decisive planning. They had their wedding come together in 4 short months. Start to finish. When asked how they were able to accomplish this, they responded, ” When you get to be our age, and life hands you a second chance at happiness and togetherness… there’s no need to wait. We knew what we wanted – each other.”

Ditto. Refreshing to see an older couple. People get married at all ages.
First off, "way to go Amanda Wagner". Secondly, I must say they are not "old" or "older", they are Young, In Love and a Beautiful Couple!! May love always keep you young and beautiful on the outside and inside!
Sharronanne and Joel brought their colour palette to us and one important detail - lots of candles! Together with the bride and our florist, Donna of Bella Donna's www.bowmanvillesbelladonnas.com, we knew exactly how to capture the elegant and romantic look and feel of this mature couple's evening cocktail wedding reception. Not only was this couple a complete delight to work with, Amanda, their photographer, appreciated our beautiful unique Estate venue and we are thrilled to see how artistically she captured the elegant details we happily suggested to personalize the day for the happy couple. Moments like these are so precious aren't they? Sharronanne and Joel have exquisite taste and it was such a pleasure to bring their vision to life - in 4 short months! What an honour for us to work with them. Planning a wedding is ageless - there is the same sparkle in the eyes of a 40 or 60 year old bride as a 22 year old bride - true magic! Thank you Amanda for bringing this special wedding to Style Me Pretty!
