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!! 💕💖

    You are right. I've not shown you all all the many, many Christmas decorations at our venue. They go all out. That being said, they are saving us a ton on decorating. So it will have major Christmas vibes when we are there, but I'm not paying for it. I'm going to add Christmas cedar to my bouquet to give it more of a Christmas feel and look and also some berries. I appreciate your opinion so much!! 😍 The problem with #1, I just found out we must buy a minimum of 25 everything. I hate to waste money, as we don't need more than 10-12. Here are a few pics I was sent from last Christmas at our venue. They are dark and not the best. They have Christmas trees everywhere, too, but not shown. Thank you!!❤

    I just purchased the head piece on Etsy. I feel like it is probably more a headband than a tiara. It might just come down to placement.

    Ok, Here is my bridal headband from my hair trial last August. My hair was really short and now I'm doing something totally different. Not the best pic, but you can see my dainty headband. Next hair trial in October.

    They will be silk flowers so we can keep it. I want it to last forever. I’m thinking more of a shade towards burgundy. The bright red with the gold is a little too much for my liking.

    Your venue fits your theme so perfectly! And a Christmas vibe will be adorable and cozy. Ah, I would probably go for #2 then too because I wouldn't want to waste money either.

    Hi everyone!! Happy almost weekend!! YAY!! What have you been up to this week? Meet any wedding planning goals? I hired our minister today. He was recommend by our venue. No one we know will travel the Sunday before Christmas because they are already obligated.

    I don't know if I've told you all, but I'm a custom milliner. I design hats and veils. I've asked my baker to design a custom hatbox cake off of my inspiration pic, but much more elaborate. She's been online looking at hat boxes, which I appreciate. This is just between us, extremely gaudy, ugly Victorian hatboxes- where did she find such odd hatboxes? I'm stunned and I LOVE Victorian everything, well, too a point. 😁 I'm usually very visual, but I can't picture what she is wanting to do to save my life! Ha! Ha! She wants to do a 12 inch 2 layer, then an 8 inch ( don't know how many layers), then a 5 inch on top( unknown layers...8 and 5 both more than 2). And they'd each look like a cohesive set of different boxes that blend with clised lids. My request. I need to have a chat with her.

    Oh! Do you ladies mind sharing what you do? If not, it's ok. If anyone has any questions, just post away. I hope we can all plan and dream together!! Love, me!😍
