This Vintage Winter Wedding photoshoot will draw today’s modern bride into the elegant and timeless look and feel of a true vintage, winter wedding. Willowdale Estate's well known green doorway frames the bride beautifully.

Here the bride enjoys tea while getting ready. There are so many fun vintage features in the bridal suite. We love Willowdale's iconic vintage tub!

The bride’s stunning gown hangs in the bridal suite ready to put on. Her ball gown features an exquisite deep V neckline, crystal beading detail and a sweeping dramatic full train.

Many meaningful and sentimental items were borrowed for our bride to wear at her vintage winter wedding. This included long white gloves, classic pearl jewelry, and a custom mohair wrap.

This vintage winter wedding continues on into the reception with a tablescape highlighting nostalgic Blue Willow china and vintage silverplate flatware. A winter white faux fur runner lines the center of the tabletop with a collection of vintage brass candlesticks.

We love how well this vintage winter wedding themed photoshoot tied together with the aesthetic of WIllowdale Estate’s dining room.
