April and Mike
April and Mike’s December wedding was nothing short of a winter wonderland. We love when our couples lean into the season for their wedding decor, so when April and Mike asked us to design an upscale Christmas themed wedding we were absolutely thrilled! With no shortage of inspiration for this wedding, Nagham used a combination of winter inspired greenery, modern gold accents and touches of white to create a space that looked, and smelled of winter.
The colour palette for April and Mike’s wedding was white, black and gold with bright pops of teal. As guests walked in they were welcomed with the smell of fresh evergreens that filled the centrepieces of the tables and made a stunning canopy over the head table while DIYed lanterns wrapped with copper fairy lights added a beautiful glow. An oversized gold framed mirror was hand lettered and used as our seating chart. To bring a modern twist to the signage and table numbers, Nagham used back-painted pieces of acrylic with matching gold hand lettering.
For cocktail hour guests enjoyed hot apple cider and mulled wine, a classic pairing for the season. The couple wanted to take advantage of the beautiful terrace at Palais Royale, so we created a wintery fire pit complete with rustic wooden lounges and cozy blankets for guests to cuddle up under the stars.
Our favourite parts of the design were the large tree ornaments that acted as place cards and a favour for guests to take home. These ornaments were DIYed using multiple colours of paint and gold foil topped, off with hand lettering of each gusts name. April and Mike wanted to gift each guest something they could cherish forever and remind them of this beautiful celebration.
The night was filled with dancing, laughter and holiday cheer. Congratulations on your big day April and Mike!
