I'd love to meet you all, know what your colors are, inspiration, theme, what your gown looks like, where you are getting married, and any other details you may wish to share. Together we can all plan the most perfect December weddings!

We are having a private Christmas wedding in Natchez, MS at a fabulous historic mansion now an Inn. Can't wait!! We will have about 12 guests ( immediate family and witnesses). It's 3 hours from our hometown. So a mini destination wedding. Our colors are pale pink, burgundy, ivory, and rose gold. My wedding gown is a warm, pale pink named Meena by Martin Thornburg. My shoes are Jimmy Choo's that I bought on FARFETCH for a bargain. I love how sparkly they are. My purse is sitting in my skirt ruffles and its by Mary Frances ( that is the true color of my dress, more warm pink than in designer pics). I'm a veil designer so I'm hoping to have a hatbox cake similar to this, but a bit more elaborate. Ha! Ha! We are planning a 3:00pm ceremony. We are going to mini-moon at this Inn in their gorgeous bridal suite. Planning a very large black-tie wedding reception for May. Here are a few photos of what we have going on so far for our Christmas Wedding. I have fallen in love with that bouquet. Another WW bride had it as her photo and she kindly sent it to me.

The fur-baby pictured is my 13 1/2 year old service dog named Gaston. He will be our Pup Of Honor, God-willing.

I hope we all become the best of friends during this most exciting and stressful times of our lives!! 😂 Big hug to each of you!! 💕💖

    Thank you!! I agree. It will be magical. Since we'll be a small group, we get the original private dining room, which will be special. Now to pull it all together. ❤ Lol! Had to show you the bedroom of the two room bridal suite. I think I'll get some beautiful getting ready shots.

    I'm from Laurel! What about you? Natchez had some great venue options. What made you decide to have your wedding in Natchez?

    Hi Kate! Welcome!! I know exactly where you are. I grew up in South Louisiana. 😊

    The only way my fur baby is being allowed at our venue is because he is a certified service animal. He's been my service animal for 10 years. Because I absolutely need him, he goes everywhere I go. Your fur baby IS precious!! I think naming a signature drink after Stella is perfect!! She is a doll. I noticed her LSU scarf. Ha! Ha! I used to live about a mile and one half from the campus.

    Your wedding sounds lovely. I'm not familiar with Alexandria. I'd love to see pics of your venue. 300 invites can be technically 600 guests. Depending on where they live you may have 350-400. Will your venue hold that many guests? Just checking. You don't want to break the fire code. 😂

    Keep us updated!! Thanks!! ❤

    I just reread your original post & realized your fur baby is your service dog! what a good boy for doing his job & taking care of his mom Smiley heart he will be an amazing asset to your wedding day, which is so special.

    my FH & i actually attend LSU (we both grew up in alexandria & didn't even know each other until freshman year of college! thats why we are getting married back home instead of BR) & will be graduating in may, so stella wears her lsu bandana any time lsu plays!!

    & you are so right about the fire code! luckily the cathedral can hold up to 600 people & the hotel bentley is allowing us use of the grand ballroom as well as the main lobby that flows into the ballroom so we will have plenty of space. that was definitely our very first concern though!

    peep the staircase at the back, that's where i will be coming from for our first look.

    keep us updated with all your wedding planning. i cannot wait to see how beautiful your natchez wedding turns out to be!

    I'll have to Google Laurel. I don't know where it is although I've heard of it. Isn't that sad. 😑 My ancestors settled in the Tylertown area in the late 1700's. I'm from South Louisiana. ❤ I've only been here 2 years. I live in Canton. Love it, so historical. We traveled to Natchez every summer to tour the homes when I was a child and it began a love affair. After our large wedding fell through in October, we started looking for a venue that would hold an intimate wedding. That's when I checked with Monmouth. They had the perfect package.

    If you haven't, feel free to share your wedding plans. I know I don't mind!

    That's awesome! We are getting married in a little white chapel in the mountains in Huntsville AL. I didn't have much vision for my wedding, but I knew I wanted a white chapel. My FH and I love hiking in the mountains so I think it is a perfect fit! The venue offered a great package and the space limited guests to the amount I wanted.

    So glad to find other December brides! We are getting married at The Rust Belt Market on New Year's Eve in Ferndale, MI (a suburb of Detroit). Our colors are navy and gold with touches of burgundy and grey. We're going for a swanky NYE party that just happens to have a wedding at the beginning! Lots of candles and lights and gold bits everywhere for decor. My dress is ivory and has a unique and sparkly back (and shows off my..assets lol).

    Fellow December bride here! I'm having a winter woodlands wedding, not too Christmassy, but lots of evergreen and pinecone decor! And of course, golden glow and twinkle lights! Our colors are gold, champagne, and evergreen, with lots of natural wood tones. We're also going to have a hot cocoa/coffee and s'mores bar! Because... "To have and to hold in case you get cold!"

    LOVE, LOVE LOVE your venue!! We wish we could marry in a church, but wth my health, staying at our venue is best. We are having a minister. The view is gorgeous!! I have extreme vertigo and I'd not be able to go into that gazebo. Ha! Ha! I'm so silly. Reception there, too?
