The perfect winter celebration does exist…and it comes in the form of Mandy and Dylan’s Seven Springs wedding. The pair loves Christmas and Mother Nature knew just what this fete needed by gifting the pair with a beautiful snow fall for their Hallmark movie-like day. Mandy was a vision in white with her long sleeve lace Watters wedding dress from Bridal Beginning and high power-pony thanks to Glam to Go. As she walked down the aisle beneath the twilight sky, she was greeted by not only her husband-to-be (who looked like a million bucks in his tuxedo from Surmesur Custom Menswear), but their adorable son who took part in the evening ceremony while perched on his dad’s shoulders. At the reception, fur accents, candle-lit trees designed by EF Lighting, and a soft snowfall set the stage for a party unlike any other, with pine and moody colors adding to the ambiance of the evening. Behind the lens, Kass Photo Co. and Penderville Wedding Films transformed fleeting moments into timeless treasures. It’s as warm and picturesque as can be!
About the Couple
We met at work. We worked for a local family-owned restaurant. We now have a son named Zeke. In November of 2020, Zeke was 15 months old. It was early in the morning, a little before 6 a.m. I was getting my coffee and about to hop on the computer. Dylan was changing Zeke’s diaper when Zeke walked in with a onesie on that said, “Mommy, will you marry Daddy?” Behind him was Dylan, down on one knee. It was perfect.
About the Wedding
Our wedding was pure magic. A true Hallmark movie. It felt like we were in a snow globe. It was my dream Christmas wedding. Dylan and I both love Christmas and we always knew we wanted to get married in the snow. That winter had maybe one good snow fall and it was on our wedding day. We draped furs over the backs of the chairs and filled the area with candles. EF Lighting put candles all through the trees and then the snow fell and covered the footprints. It was like something I’ve never seen. It was calm and quiet, romantic and magical. When I walked down the aisle, the snow fell so gently as our friend played the saxophone. I always say that the snowfall was a gift from my father, who passed away in 1998.
Inside the venue, they put candles everywhere you could possibly think of: in the rafters, on the tables, on the walls, on the window sills. It was dripping with pine and gorgeous moody flowers. Furs draped over the chairs and the fire places were all lit. Huge icicles lined the roof and snow fell all night long.
Favorite Moment
My favorite moment of the day was walking down the aisle with my beautiful mom and seeing my soon-to-be husband with our son up on his shoulders, where he sat for the entire ceremony. It was so, so special.
