\"Winter<\/p>\n

We’re finally in that wonderful time of year when all-over sparkles and sequins take over wardrobes, houses, and weddings – and we love it! Luke and Laura’s stunning New Years’ Eve wedding in\u00a0Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, has it all; a long sleeved Pnina Tornai<\/a> ball gown, a stylish d\u00e9cor combination of modern acrylics and fabulous sequins, and a balloon drop to welcome all the guests to 2017!<\/p>\n

The bridesmaids sparkled the night away in some drop-dead-gorgeous champagne dresses, perfectly in harmony with the festive accents lighting up the tables and venue. Speaking of which, we love\u00a0the\u00a0uniquely rustic but elegant atmosphere at\u00a0Bell\u2019s Banquets<\/a>, a remodelled one-hundred-year-old barn with French crystal chandeliers and original wooden features. The myriad details of Luke and Laura’s rustic glam wedding reflected this atmosphere perfectly, all the way from the champagne, blush and pale pink flowers of the bridal bouquet, to the long table garlands embellished with gold succulents and antlers, to the beautiful contrast between wood, perspex, and\u00a0metallics amidst the tablescape.\u00a0We absolutely adore the idea of starting your married life together while ringing in the New Year with all the friends and family you love, and this stunning couple couldn’t have done it more stylishly.<\/p>\n
