Wedding at The Gatewood in La Grange, Kentucky
A Cozy Winter Wedding at The Gatewood in La Grange, KY
There’s something magical about a winter wedding, and Chance + Shelby’s Christmas-themed celebration at The Gatewood in La Grange, KY, was no exception. With only 60 guests, this intimate gathering overflowed with warmth, love, and festive cheer. Taking place on the Saturday after Christmas, the couple fully embraced the cozy, celebratory spirit of the season, creating a day their guests will never forget.
Festive Details and Seasonal Touches
The wedding colors of cranberry, emerald green, and gold set a perfect holiday tone. The groomsmen sported boutonnieres crafted from evergreen branches, while the bridesmaids stunned in velvet cranberry dresses, their bouquets tied with matching velvet Christmas ribbon. The bride, a devoted Disney fan, added a whimsical touch with hidden Mickeys cleverly incorporated into the reception decor—and even in her bouquet! These small details delighted guests and made the day uniquely personal to the couple.
A Reception Full of Warmth
The reception was the definition of winter coziness. A hot chocolate and coffee station invited guests to indulge in steaming beverages topped with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and cookies. The couple went the extra mile by thrifting unique coffee mugs for each guest, which doubled as both a wedding favor and a fun keepsake. Guests filled their mugs with warmth, savoring every sip as they mingled in the beautifully decorated space.
Love and Celebration in a Close-Knit Group
With just 60 attendees, this wedding was all about connection. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the bride and groom created an atmosphere filled with love and joy. The Gatewood’s intimate setting was perfect for their cozy winter celebration, enhanced by twinkling lights, evergreen accents, and golden candlelight.
This wedding was a true testament to how personal touches, thoughtful details, and the magic of the season can come together to create an unforgettable day. It was an honor to capture this special celebration, and I wish the couple a lifetime of love, laughter, and Disney-worthy adventures.
