Lauren and Drew’s January wedding at the Ritz Charles Garden Pavilion was a magical winter celebration. As the day began, light snow started to fall—just enough to create a dreamy winter backdrop for portraits, beautifully captured by Sarah Elizabeth Photography. Inside the chapel and glass garden pavilion, the entire setting felt cozy, intimate, and undeniably magical.

Winter weddings are often overlooked, but they truly offer some of the most romantic and inviting atmospheres. There’s something so special about the softness of the season—the glow of candlelight, the quiet beauty of fresh snow, and the cozy, intimate feel that naturally brings people together.

Duet Florals designed the space with a palette of crisp whites and soft shades of green, incorporating touches of hanging Amaranthus that added color and elegance throughout the room. The combination of lush florals, soft candlelight, and the snowy landscape just beyond the glass created a setting that truly felt like a winter snow globe.

The wedding party got ready at the Chatham Guest House, where the morning felt relaxed and full of anticipation. They captured portraits on the property and at the nearby country club before heading to the Ritz Charles for the ceremony. Hair styling was beautifully done by Paige Grant Hair, with makeup by Chelsea Lassiter Makeup, creating a timeless and elegant look for the day.
