When I saw this gorgeous Anastasia gown by La Premiere Bridal, my heart stopped. The Magnolia Bride had displayed her gracefully in the window and was the talk of the town. She sparkled in the sun like fresh fallen snow. I sent the shop owner a message practically begging to let me photograph it! She happily obliged.
After reaching out to a few more local vendor friends, we built a wonderful team to pull this vision together. My sweet friend Susan of Daly Floral Designs created a beautiful bouquet and boutonniere for us. Sarah at SMG Beauty Co was our hair and makeup artist. Shayne and Jordan agreed to model for us. The chemistry between Shayne and Jordan was amazing, even though they had never met before.
Next, we had to find a location worthy of this elegant gown. My mind immediately went to the Graylyn Estate. This venue is a beautiful piece of Winston Salem history. We knew the Graylyn Estate would be the perfect place for a Christmas Wedding. Everywhere you step feels like you are lost in a fairytale.
If you are planning a Christmas wedding or looking for a venue like the Graylyn Estate, we hope these images will inspire you!
