How to Add Color and Greenery to Your Winter Wedding

Happy bride and groom holding wedding bouquet

An unusually cold and snowy December in Cincinnati didn’t stop Mandy and Brad from having a gorgeous winter wedding, and we're so glad they did! Their big day came together with sparkly gold bridesmaid dresses, fur shawls, and a dreamy color palette of red, and blush. The end result? A totally stylish wedding that will warm your heart.

Fresh greenery really made their day feel chic, and they even incorporated a bit of Christmas-inspired decor throughout. It’s the perfect winter wedding y’all, so take notes! See it all below, and catch a closer look from Amanda Donaho Photography in the full gallery.

Mandy & Brad had a perfectly gorgeous (snowy!) Cincinnati Winter wedding. I was honored to be their wedding photographer after also photographing Mandy’s brother’s wedding a few years ago. It’s always such a joy to arrive on the wedding day to see familiar faces from families I’ve grown to love.

Snowy wedding in Cincinnati

Mandy was a stunning bride & is just as sweet as can be. It was an abnormally COLD even for a December Cincinnati wedding, but the bridal party rallied for a few outdoor photos & we were lucky enough to have the gorgeous Monastery Event Center as their wedding reception venue, so of course, we did some shooting in the (warmth!) there. I was overjoyed for them when during the exit from the church, the snow fell – heavily – and loved getting a quick snowy portrait of them under the glowing street lamps. Congrats to this beautiful couple!!
