The last few months leading up to the wedding, Cassandra said multiple times, “I feel like we should just go for it and have a full-blown Christmas wedding.” She loves the holidays (minus the cold weather), and her husband Rylan loves her, and I love them both, so finally we said, “What’s stopping us?”
Off we went to purchase every flocked floral and string of lights we could find. We paired whites and golds with pops of burgundy and blue, accents of South African flowers and music (to honor the bride’s home country) with rustic accents (to honor the groom’s southern roots), and swaths of fabric draped from the venue’s gorgeous vaulted ceilings (shout-out to Cassandra’s family for spending hours helping us bring this to life). The result speaks for itself - a wintry wonderland of glitter and light.
This was such a special wedding for me because the clients were two of my very best friends. Cassandra’s entire family flew in from all over the world to celebrate her, many friends and family from both sides traveled from across the country and globe, and the bride and groom had huge smiles on their faces the whole night - as you can see from the goofy grins captured in these incredible photos. There was so much love in the room you could physically feel the glow of it.
Congratulations to the Dreiers. It was truly a joyful night I was honored to be a part of.
