December Wedding at The Estate at Florentine Gardens
Rachel and Stephen celebrated a magical December wedding at The Estate at Florentine Gardens. I had the joy of capturing their engagement session in Old City, Philadelphia, making their wedding day even more special. Their winter celebration was warm and romantic, filled with elegant details and heartfelt moments.
A Romantic Winter Wedding
Rachel and Stephen incorporated festive touches into their late December wedding, including hanging mistletoe in their ceremony space. The Estate at Florentine Gardens provided a breathtaking setting, with grand balconies, a gorgeous courtyard, and a ballroom filled with natural light. Detailed Events by Lo ensured every detail ran smoothly. Their beautifully designed stationery and invitations by Creationari set the perfect tone for the day.
Rachel looked stunning in a wedding dress covered in delicate floral appliqué, paired with rhinestone Jimmy Choo heels and a cathedral veil. She carried a bouquet filled with white roses, while the rest of the florals featured a mix of ivory and greenery. The bridesmaids wore elegant satin black dresses, complementing the groomsmen’s classic black tuxes. Before seeing Stephen, Rachel shared an emotional first look with her dad on the estate’s balcony. She then met Stephen in the courtyard, where they had a heartfelt first look before the ceremony.
A Night to Remember
The reception inside the grand ballroom was unforgettable. Rachel and Stephen danced on the clouds as fog filled the floor during their first dance. Their guests quickly joined in as the live band filled the room with energy. From the intimate first look to the joyous celebration, their wedding was the perfect way to end the year.
Rachel and Stephen’s wedding was a beautiful blend of romance, elegance, and winter magic. It was an honor to capture their love story at such a stunning venue.
