Our winter wedding day has come and gone! I was going to wait for all my pro pics but I can't help but give a sneak peek using some guest pics. It was everything we dreamed of, and all the work was worth it. Now I'm shutting up and giving you pics 
Our First Look -

Mr & Mrs!

We both play guitar, so what better guestbook for us than an old one we had?

Walking in to the reception

From here it got a little crazy!

We had s'mores and a hot drink bar with chocolate spoons, cider, wassail, coffee, mochas, whipped cream, sprinkles, you name it!


Some shots of the decor - 90% DIY'ed.







The place cards were attached with ribbon to antique skeleton keys asking "What is the key to marriage?" This is one of the tamer ones! Some were HILARIOUS, including an anonymous one whose handwriting looked suspiciously like our pastor's - "Don't get pregnant tonight!" ha!

Our first dance as a married couple

And part II:
We slept in the next day, ate wedding cake for breakfast, and got some day-after shots at our new home with our photographer.

Hi, my name is Grizz and I'm addicted to Starbucks.


I wanted our exit to have a sleigh bells feel so I made these jingle bell wands - the sound of them all together was incredible! It gave it SUCH a Christmas feeling.

Breakin it down with one of our 3 flower girls

OMG gorgeous!!!
It must have been one of the best days of your life! Congratulations Mrs. Grizz!!
Hope everything was worth waiting for ;)
Incredible! You two look so happy.
And I love, love, love the faerie lights all over the ceiling. Did you DIY those too?
S T U N N I N G!!!
Congratulations to you both. What a fabulous wedding.
Congratulations! It looks like everyone was having so much fun! And your dress is just amazing!
You look gorgeous! I love the first look picture- My fiance and I are having an evening wedding so I was afraid we'd miss the opportunity for pictures with daylight. I'm still thinking about doing a first look picture...not sure yet but your picture is so beautiful! I also love all your DIY. It looks like the perfect day! Wish you both the best.
Thank you, thank you! It was absolutely the best day of our lives. Edited to add more photos!
And forgive me all the monograms. I'm Southern and I can't help it. 
The venue came with a lot of them but we pumped them up by adding more on top of the existing ones.
OMG I love everything! You look stunning and so happy! Congrats!
Insanely gorgous, all around!! Also, I love the guitar guestbook. What a great idea!
You are stunning! Gorgeous! I love the reception it looked so beautiful! Congrats!
OH my gosh I love everything! The venue is so beautiful, and you look absolutely stunning and glowing. All of the details really came together and turned out amazing. Congratulations!
Those are probably the most impressive guest photo's I've ever seen! I can only image how amazing the pro pics will be! Can't wait to see those! You look drop dead goooorgeous, looks like an awesome wedding... CONGRATS!!!!
Lovely! And the Starbucks pics are so cute - we took some engagement pics of our own there, as thats where we met :) Can't wait to see more pics!
Those are absolutely stunning!! Your decor looked so warm and inviting...it really looks amazing!
Wow this is absolutely gorgeous! So many fun details. I love the Smores bar, the lights in the reception hall, your shawl and the Starbucks, the rustic look of the barn. Congratulations and great job. Thanks for sharing!

@soyjoy222: Thank you ma'am :) I recommend the key idea as a quick DIY anybody can do - its the thing we treasure most from the reception! I've read them over and over since that day :)
Wow!! You looked gorgeous!! You did an awesome job with the decor too. Beautiful!! Congratulations!!
Beautiful!! You looked incredible. Could you post a close-up of your makeup or the inspiration picture you used? :)
wow-so prettty! i love all the lights and the smores station.
I love your day after shots! just going around in your dress, thats awesome! I think I may have to steal this idea;)
Your wedding was beautiful!!! and I'm totally stealing that "key to your marriage" idea
:D
@jackieee: Yes, when our photog gets the pics back to us I'll have some close-ups. My makeup artist/hairstylist is a good friend of mine so I'll ask her what she used - I know it was all MAC but can't remember the colors :)
