Though Spring is just around the corner, we’re looking back on this special December wedding. Laura and Stuart tied the knot December 8 of last year. Laura is most definitely a city girl, but having a simple country upbringing, she wanted to incorporate both parts of her life. After a quaint morning ceremony at Laura’s family farm, they headed to OKC to celebrate with family and friends. Laura was an absolute joy to work with. Though many times we ladies tend to get caught up in the planning process, Laura’s focus and goal of the day was just to marry the man of her dreams and celebrate! I was not surprised to find out that they have hundreds of friends, and every sing one of them arrived to celebrate their big day. Thank you, Josh McCullock for these fabulous photos!

Originally, Laura's plan was to have a spring wedding, but with her father being ill, they decided on a Christmas wedding because she was determined to dance with her father.

One of her besties made custom made her cake topper...so cute!

Their band was the focal point of the reception, so we gave them a romantic backdrop!

The giant Christmas tree was a blast! We put presents under the tree

Wedding wands is soon become our new fave exit item! Laura custom ordered hers and it was a perfect fit for her venue.

From ancient Greece to 2013, ivory and gold have proven to be the perfect pair. Though there was a plethora of red, plum and black shades at the Golden Globes this year, ivory and gold came through as the hues to use this year. Metallics are fabulous enough, but an ivory backdrop gives any dress a bridal touch. Whether it’s tulle, beaded, silk or organza, mermaid silhouette-style gowns can be flattering on all body types. It’s true you can never go wrong with a classic ivory gown, but it’s always fun to change it up for your reception by pairing a sheer gold overlay like Michelle Dockery. Another option (and a fabulous gift for bridesmaids) are using clutches as statement pieces. Hayden Paneterre opted for a vibrant ivory. They key is to take risks. Remember, a little goes a long way, especially with bridal fashion!

Ways to add a hint of gold: Nails, clutches, jewelry, shoes, eye shadow.
