There is something so romantic about the snowy season, but it doesn’t mean you have to use those traditional holiday colors when planning your winter wedding!

Velvet Rentals curated and combined items that reminded them of classic romance and antique french furniture with a modern twist. The gold-framed settee, tufted blue velvet bench, ornate gold candle holders, and antique glassware are Louis XIV-inspired, and they contrasted those pieces with sleek white plates and a modern bar cart where antique vanity mirrors were placed to circle back to those classic period pieces.

The moment Larissa and Matt from Larissa Marie Photo
graphy stepped into Ellsworth Block for the first time, they knew they wanted to put together a shoot in its beautiful, intimate, historically renovated space that provides the backdrop for any fairytale wedding. 

Its stone walls and original woodwork scream old-school class and romantic sophistication. And the natural light from the vast windows overlooking the Wisconsin State Capitol brightens the atmosphere wonderfully. Ellsworth Block has a lovely mix of the old and the new, blending historic touches with modern finishes creating the perfect downtown Madison space for couples to celebrate.

We love the unique pairing of a classic 3-tiered cake and a playful modern cutting cake from Carl’s Cakes.

Sunborn Gardens created a more natural look suited for this elegant winter wedding design using soft tones of local and domestically grown floral varieties mixed with evergreen. We love the non-traditional nod to winter greens.
