This winter wedding inspiration was inspired by the colors of winter—burgundy, mistletoe green, silver and gold. Snow had just fallen in Pennsylvania for the first time in two months. The brides’ rings were a single princess cut band (symbolizing the tradition of marriage) and a rough crystal (symbolizing the uniqueness in each marriage). The venue was Linwood Estate in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
