Black + Gold Holiday Wedding Inspiration

When it comes to styling winter celebrations, I fall into the mindset of “opposites attract.” Take this holiday-inspired shoot from the fabulous Cedarwood WeddingsDesigns In Paper and Julie Paisley. It’s metallics and glam paired up with natural, organic elements and fresh foliage galore. Rustic and modern and glam all at once, THE VAULT is bursting with ideas for winter brides in every style camp. Grab your hot cocoa and let’s get started.

From Julie PaisleyThe holidays are a time to sparkle and shine, even on a Tennessee nature preserve. It is precisely the play of festive patterns and metallics against outdoor landscapes that encourages intimate weddings and backyard celebrations during a season defined by lovely settings.

We paired glitter and glam with organic elements for a rustic chic style that is unexpected but undeniably warm and inviting, starting with glided evergreens in the ceremony altar at the venue’s Cedar Cottage. Sequined overlays on bench seating continues on reception chairs to unify spaces. Festive paper goods and table decor in black, gold and white offer modern appeal. Fresh foliage is the star of florals, especially in the loosely gathered bridal bouquet. The bride and groom are perfectly balanced between style elements with her bejeweled headpiece and his hand-crafted wood bow tie.
