The décor featured a palette of whites, deep greens, and pops of red and gold, perfectly complementing the wintery vibe. Warm wall sconces added a romantic glow, while evergreen garlands and natural accents brought the outdoors in.
Sam’s bridal look was breathtaking. She wore a stunning beaded gown that gave off Great Gatsby vibes, paired with a fur coat for added warmth and elegance.
