A December Wedding Straight Out of a Holiday Movie


Liz and Mike had a gorgeous winter wedding that completely embraced the magic of December. Their day began at St. Mary Parish in Uxbridge where they celebrated their wedding mass surrounded by family and friends. Liz looked beautiful in her long sleeve gown paired with a sparkly veil. Mike wore a blue suit with a green vest and tie and the groomsmen matched his classic look. The bridesmaids wore dark green which tied together the red green palette that carried through their day.


After a few portraits at the church we headed to Publick House in Sturbridge for more photos. Publick House looked like something straight out of a holiday movie with beautiful seasonal decorations everywhere you turned. We took advantage of the Christmas tree lot for some fun and festive photos before heading inside for their reception.


Liz filled the reception with thoughtful handmade details. The Bake Shoppe at Publick House created a beautiful wedding cake along with cookie favors that guests loved. The red and green theme continued with evergreen and rose wreath centerpieces that added to the cozy winter atmosphere. After dinner Liz and Mike danced and celebrated with their guests and even had the Hot Dog cart come out for a late night snack which was a hit.


Congratulations to Liz and Mike! It was a joy to photograph this beautiful December wedding.
