It’s the most wonderful time of the year and we can not be happier to share this Christmas wedding that is the epitome of all things light and cheery. Unlike Christmas weddings that we have featured in years past with snow falling and color schemes sticking only to the traditional red and green this wedding features a beautiful and bright pink wedding venue and inspiring color palette of royal blue and gold with accents of green and red mixed throughout. Set at the luxurious Florida venue The Don Cesar Legendary Pink Palace this wedding is a dream for any couple planning a winter wedding!

Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Getting married during the most wonderful season of the year seemed like the perfect time for this super fun couple. They didn't necessarily plan a Christmas wedding theme with their planner Alexa, yet the ambiance and decor of their entire celebration somehow gave a 'Nod to Christmas.' The invitation suite they used for their Florida winter wedding also had that lovely Christmas vibe. The green velvet material matched with golden metallic lettering, and the royal blue envelope they used was so grand!

Their winter wedding ceremony and reception happened in an equally fun yet luxurious venue – The Don Cesar Legendary Pink Palace. But before their grand ceremony at the stylish stairway of their location, the couple had some pre-wedding moments that I certainly had so much fun capturing. Besides seeing how both were so gorgeous, the bride had classic makeup and a hairstyle fit for a princess, while the groom complemented her with a dashing style and elegant shoes. The groom loved his fancy shoes, which I made sure to document! However, what crowned their getting ready time was reading the letters they had written to one another. It was so heartfelt that it gave a sentimental and emotional moment to the couple who was joking and laughing for the most part.

There was a light and airy feeling to the entire celebration of Carlina and Michael, like how a Christmas wedding would feel like. Their florals, linens, tabletops, and decor contributed to how effortlessly cheerful the atmosphere of their winter wedding was. Still, the main reason for it was the laughter and joy of everyone who was celebrating the great union of this lovable couple. Not to mention how the two were on cloud nine the whole day, simply making each other laugh throughout the whole day. Michael has an amazing sense of humor, which made it so easy for me to capture genuine happiness during their Florida winter wedding. It was a delightful union filled with good music, laughter, and love!
