Christmas-Themed Wedding at Gaylord National Resort

Christmas-Themed Wedding at Gaylord National Resort
Bridesmaids carried fur muffs instead of floral bouquets for Christmas-themed wedding

Francesca and James, known for their annual tradition of attending the ICE! show, decided to infuse their December wedding with the same festive spirit. The enchanting Gaylord National Resort was the perfect choice for their Christmas-themed wedding, already adorned in holiday splendor. Opting for a “Winter Wonderland” motif, the couple set the stage for a magical celebration.

Their ceremony unfolded in the resort’s atrium, radiating warmth and love. Elegant winter garland was swagged along the front of the gazebo, framing the couple’s nuptials. Francesca’s bouquet was the perfect blend of holiday red, a touch of bling, and classic love as red roses were accented with crystals. In lieu of bouquets, the bridesmaids carried fur muffs, and the flower girl held an adorable pomander ball of silver pine cones suspended from a red ribbon.

The reception followed, bathed in a rich red glow and adorned with elegant crystal chandeliers. Delicate vases brimming with glistening ornaments, coupled with silver table linens, contributed to the merry atmosphere without overwhelming the senses. As tokens of appreciation, mason jar mugs filled with the fixings for peppermint hot cocoa awaited each guest. Even the cake embraced the theme with intricate snowflake patterns and accents of vibrant red ribbon. The pièce de résistance? The endearing Santa-themed taper candles that graced the unity candle ceremony, exuding the true essence of Christmas.

Francesca and James’ Christmas-themed wedding at the Gaylord National Resort was a testament to their shared love for the holiday season. With every carefully chosen detail, they transported their guests to a winter wonderland of joy and celebration, creating memories that will forever be cherished.

Theres something about September that always feels like a turning point. The days are still warm, but the morning is a bit cooler. School is back in session. The light starts to change. And after a long DC summer, you do all get that first day when you can open the door and think, yes, fall really is coming. 🍁

For me fall has always been tied to the rhythm of the school year. Kids going back to school and calendars filling up. Pulling sweaters out of the back of the closet, and thinking about Halloween before you’re quite ready to admit summer is over.

In the studio, autumn has another rhythm. September and October weddings - arguably our busiest time of the year - paired with all sorts of fun things. Pods, berries, grasses and all sorts of funky things.

I think there’s a reason fall weddings always feel so right. It’s a season built around change. The landscape shifts, the light softens, the year begins winding down… and in the midst of that, two people choose to begin something.

Maybe that’s what I love about this time of year. Autumn can feel nostalgic and hopeful at the same time. So here’s to another fall wedding season, changing leaves, cooler nights (no mosquitoes), celebrations and all the new beginnings still ahead.

Classic roses. Ethereal baby’s breath. And bleached ruscus for some fashion forward style. Classic with an edge.
