Well get ready for some deliciousness in photo shoot form from the talents of Simply Fabulous Events and Design and Emily Steffen! Sparkle, tulle, snow, ruffle cakes, mercury glass…more sparkle – winter just doesn’t get prettier than this! Click here for even more!

From Simply Fabulous Events and Design…The Midwest truly has the most beautiful winters. From the glistening snow and ice, to the dreamy afternoons of snow angels and hot cocoa, I just knew this ‘Dream to Reality’ shoot had to revolve around what I believe is the season of the year to be married!
The idea was soft, romantic, sparkle, snow, antiques, and a blue dress. Yes, a blue dress. With that being said, a blue dress proved to be very hard to find, so in talking with the model {who is also a very dear friend}, she explained that she could sew a skirt and voila! a creation of layers upon layers of muted blue and matte gray perfection arrived to the shoot! Paired with a sequin shirt from Target {love!}, simple pearls and gray heels, the Bride model was just stunning! And the mittens? Knitted by our fabulous photographer, Emily Steffen! Not to be outdone, I dressed the Groom to compliment his Bride’s look with a warm cardigan, tweed jacket, and J.Crew scarf and gloves.
The table was the perfect balance of winter from the mercury glass containers and candles to the soft white hydrangea, baby’s breath, and snow. A statement linen can completely transform a table, so nestled below all of the winter inspired loveliness; I brought in a sparkled, deeply textured gray sequined linen. I also wanted to make sure balance all the ‘frill’ with masculine undertones: Mahogany chiavari chairs, curly willow suspended above the table {along with mercury Christmas globes!}, and cinnamon sticks stuffed into the napkins.
Last, the cake. A ruffled inspiration, the cake and mini cakes adorned with sugar flowers {resting on antique cake and candle stands} were a focal point of the dessert table. Accented with a few peppermint patties, dipped pretzel sticks, and s’mores…and it was the perfect winter dessert table waiting for a roasting fire! The finale was the beautiful stationery that gave just the right touch of gray, blue, and total romance. The whole shoot was beauty beyond words and had us all falling in love with winter {and winter weddings!} all over again!

[...] there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that the shoot wouldn’t be amazing..lisa and her team do nothing less. walking into the studio that day was just like a walking into a winter wonderland. candles, sparkles, snow, a smore’s bar, and a few mini ruffle cakes that were too pretty to be real. working with a blue and silver color palette, lisa brought in icy-blue baubles along with white floral arrangements to add a soft touch to the incredibly shimmery {not to mention gorgeous} tablescape. she also used twigs and the exposed brick of the studio to perfectly balance the sparkly decor..something i couldn’t {and still can’t} get enough of. now, i’ll be entirely honest..i had never been drawn to the idea of a winter wedding until this shoot. under the impression that they were cold and too focused on holiday ambience, i didn’t know if winter weddings could be made into much more than that. boy, was i wrong. the atmosphere lisa created was warm, inviting, and nothing that i had ever envisioned a winter wedding to be…until now and now always will. lisa rocked my world in more ways than one that day and emily captured all of the gorgeousness to prove it {the shoot has already been featured in the epitome of all wedding blogs, style me pretty!}.
