From the elegant and festive decor to the creative and playful portraits in quaint downtown Salem, Shannon and Benjamin’s wedding day was simply perfect! Come along to be inspired by some of our favorite moments from this charming winter wedding.

Shannon's bridal bouquet is what winter wedding dreams are made of. The addition of these delicate pinecones paired with the wintery greenery and neutral color palette gives a beautiful nod to the winter season.

Our blushing bride couldn't be more excited for her upcoming wedding day! With such beautiful and intricate floral patterns and beading on the gown, a simple pearl necklace and matchinng earrings pair perfectly for an elegant wedding day look.

We adore these faux fur hand muffs for Shannon's ladies in waiting. This wedding accessory has certainly been seen in more off season weddings, and we can't say that we disagree. These make for a thoughtful addition for any winter wedding bridal attire.

Our groomsmen joined in with the winter season by donning boutonnieres made with the same winter greens and accented with pinecones to match with the bridal bouquets.

How cute is this idea! Shannon and Benjamin played with this wedding tradition by having the ring bearers form a security detail to escort the rings down the aisle — a great reminder that adding personality to your ceremony will make for a memorable wedding day. The sunglasses and badges are the icing on the cake!

The newlyweds found the most gorgeous and festive location for their first few portraits as husband and wife! We love this pop of color in this quaint doorway -- perfectly paired with a simple wreath, it makes for a gorgeous spot for a few candid shots perfectly captured by their Boston wedding photographer.

For these amazing portraits, the couple visited the public artwork “Stickwork” by Patrick Dougherty on artists row in Salem. It’s a perfect spot for portraits, and the couple was able to capture some very unique and playful photos from their wedding day! Be sure to check for public artworks and sculptures in your area for a few fun wedding photo opportunities.

This duo was fortunate to catch the sunset and golden hour for a few beautiful images before heading on to their reception. The glow behind them in this portrait is so romantic!

We love these simple wedding toppers — they are a perfect addition to the wedding and look great with the earthy color palette of the floral arrangements. What a sweet moment (literally)!

Shannon and Benjamin were able to use a few simple and unique decor pieces at their reception for a big impact. The couple used pinecones as escort card holders to create a festive and cozy touch!
