Winter Wedding Photo Shoot by Redwall Photography
I’m definitely smitten with the color palette of this winter wonderland photo shoot but what I really love is that the team behind it, Redwall Photography, Kio Kreations and RBK Creations, warmed up the white, silver and cool blue theme with loads of cozy textures and totally accessible and eclectic elements. The sweet decor feels ethereal, organic and serene but, best of all, I think all of our snow-loving brides and grooms will find loads of attainable inspiration from this wintry shoot. The full gallery has more inspiration and ideas for you to make your own!

We designed a Winter Wonderland Wedding with a chic eclectic feel to go with the Armour House, beautiful historic venue in Lake Forest, IL. Rather than have icicles and snowflakes everywhere, we kept it more understated with a handful of snowflake button details, small amounts of gel ice and scattered snow. We went with mostly white tones with touches of silver, pewter and icy blue. All of the flowers consisted of white blooms and silvery foliage with a little color brought into the mix with the organza and button stems. These organza flowers were also featured on the birdcage veil hairpiece, the necklace, and we also included them as an accent on the bride’s shoes.
Speaking of accessories, the beautiful funky asymmetrical necklace is a new item created by RBK Creations. The necklace has three layers of high quality glass beads in clear, silver and creamy pearls. There is a vintage inspired brooch on one side and a flowy handmade organza flower on the other. The necklace is finished off with a white satin ribbon used to tie it. This style of necklace is completely customizable from the color of beads, organza, brooch, ribbon…you name it! As a cute, simple DIY, we bought a pair of pewter flats for the bride that we decorated with organza flower accents. For less than $30 she had a totally unique pair of shoes that fit her theme perfectly.
Instead of matchy-matchy centerpieces, we created a stylish, fresh, collected look of mismatched pieces filled with white flowers and silver foliage. We grabbed every vase and container we could find in clear, white, silver or ice blue including some silver mercury glass votives, vintage mason jars and bottles in blue and clear and some old milk glass vases. The vases and containers were both old and new, but worked perfectly when mixed together. Most of the vases were filled with white flowers and silver foliage including peonies, ranunculus, football mums, lisianthus, Dutch tulips, parrot tulips, Star of Bethlehem, dusty miller, silver sage and spray roses. We also filled a bunch of votive holders with gel ice and candles. One added touch we did was to include some white candies (Jordan almonds, yogurt-covered pretzels, and Lifesavers mints) to the mix, which made for some edible décor for the guests to enjoy. The collected containers and vases were placed on a long, beveled mirror that we repurposed as the “table runner”. It used to be part of a piece of old furniture! To complete the centerpiece look, we sprinkled some faux snow around everything and lit the candles. With the final touch of the crinkly white lamour tablecloth, it all worked perfectly together.
The bridal bouquet was a hand-tied, swooping bouquet of peonies, tulips, lisianthus, ranunculus, spray roses and some button and organza stems. The boutonnière was made to match and featured a mix of white flowers and silver foliage with 2 button stem accents. The button stems are created with RBK’s special stash of vintage buttons in whites, ivories, blues and grey with rhinestones mixed in as well. The organza flowers are created by hand and include numerous layers of fabric. Each petal is hand cut; there are around 16-20 layers per flower! The same vintage/rhinestone buttons finish off the flowers. They have a very romantic feel and resemble ranunculus.
We really loved creating this eclectic Winter Wonderland wedding featuring a beautiful bride at a stunning venue with subtle winter elements and chic mismatched details.
And as a super special treat for you today we have included the low-down on how to create those adorable shoe clips so you can get your DIY on! There are more images from their project in the full gallery!
Bridal Flats
Supplies:
Metallic flats with plain front (no details on toe of shoe) We bought ours at Payless Shoes
Velcro circles (stick-on kind)
Organza floral stems (from RBK Creations)
Directions: This project could not be easier! Just add the Velcro to both the shoes and the cut-down organza stem and you’ve got some custom flats. You can even change out the flower later to a button or brooch and wear them for other occasions!

love love love!
We had so much fun on this shoot.... everything (the weather, the venue, etc) came together so wonderfully! We are excited to be able on SMP and share it with others!
Can you give us tips on sourcing mis-matched containers like those shown in this shoot? It's absolutely gorgeous!
Where did they get all the bottles?? I love them!!!!!
Where is the necklace from?
The bride was stunning and the setting and details exquisite! Loved the understated bridal veil and the wonderful necklace! The blue chair added some pizazz! The flowers were beautiful! Lovely shoot!
The color palette is winter bliss. Stunning photos and details.
Love the blue laice flowers. Such beautiful moments captured.
The necklace is from RBK Creations! It is our newest item that we just launched! You can check out the link above to our website. Thank you all for your nice comments! We had a blast doing this shoot!
When looking for mis-matched containers--i suggest checking out Goodwill, Salvation Army, Yard/Garage Sales, Resale and Antique shops. Also ask older relatives (who would have antiques) if they have canning jars or milk glass that you can borrow (most will proudly loan things for your wedding!) For modern vases to mix in, you can find some at HomeGoods, Ikea, Hobby Lobby, Garden Ridge, Michael's, Joann's, etc. There are also architectural resource places out there that have vintage bottles and whatnot at good prices (since they are junk compared to the wooden/metal things they sell...
Hope that helps!
Oh, also, all of the mercury glass pieces are from Luna Bazaar. They also have mercury glass at Jamali Gardens. Check those sites out for other modern vases and mercury glass in gold as well as the silver ones we used!
I love white winter weddings - there is such a beautiful sparkle that they have. So BEAUTIFUL!
