WHAT: True Love In A Winter Wonderland

WHEN: December 23rd, 2022

WHERE: The Black Diamond Lodge

COORDINATORS: Amber

VIBES: Holiday princess magic

These are a few of my favorite things:

NEON LIGHTS + HOLIDAY VIBES
Averie and Maddie brought in a neon sign before they were everywhere, and it ended up feeling both ahead of the trend and completely at home in the space. The glow of the sign layered perfectly with the lodge’s holiday decor, creating a warm, cozy atmosphere with a modern edge. The entire design felt effortless because they leaned into what already existed instead of trying to compete with it.

PRINCESS DRESSES + SISTER ENERGY

Both dresses brought a soft, romantic feel with enough movement and detail to make every moment stand out. The gowns photographed beautifully and carried that real-life princess energy as the day unfolded. Averie’s sister officiated the ceremony, which added a deeply personal layer that grounded the entire experience in family and connection.

SMALL GROUP, BIG FEELINGS
The couple chose to celebrate with a small group of their closest people, and that decision shaped the entire day. The kids played, guests stayed relaxed, and no one felt rushed or pulled in too many directions. The wedding felt intentional, connected, and full of meaning from start to finish. The day reminded everyone exactly why gatherings like this matter.
