Betty Lu Paperie created the perfect Christmas wedding invitation suite! From the red and green envelopes, to the Christmas plaid envelope liner, to the vintage holiday stamps, every detail is perfection.

Ashley is wearing a glitter and pearl tulle gown with an illusion bodice, visible boning, off-the-shoulder straps, cross over back detail and a sweetheart neckline, available at I Do Bridal & Formal. She is carrying a bouquet of pavé red roses by The Shade Tree Floral Events & Designs.

For this sweet Christmas wedding look, Alexis Ruby Artistry Collective styled Ashley’s hair in a glam bridal pony and added a pop of Christmas Red on her lips!

It’s any Christmas-lover’s dream come true – Santa Claus officiating your wedding ceremony! Santa Barganier officiated the ceremony and Mrs. Claus joined in the fun!

For Jordan, a classic black Michael Kors Legacy Ultra Slim Fit Tuxedo, available at I Do Bridal & Formal, was the perfect look. A red rose boutonnière by The Shade Tree Floral Events & Designs complements his red pocket square.

Cupcakes are a great holiday wedding cake alternative. These cupcakes by The Bakehouse are decorated with rosemary sprigs and pomegranate seeds for a festive holiday flair. They sit atop a silver floral cake stand from Gulf Coast Events & Rentals. Red and green floral accents and votives from The Shade Tree Floral Events & Designs decorate the cake table that is draped in green velvet linen from Gulf Coast Events & Rentals.

This is the sweetest of sweetheart tables on the front porch of Fort Condé Inn. The table is draped in Sea Mist linen from Gulf Coast Events & Rentals with a pearl tulle overlay added to echo the bride’s dress. White-Wash Crossback Chairs capture the rustic, yet elegant vibe. 

A pavé of red roses by The Shade Tree Floral Events & Designs graces the center of the table. Red napkins echo the red roses and each place is set with a glass charger with silver ripples, white dinner plate and beaded glass salad plate.

Betty Lu Paperie created menus matching the invitation suite.
