Attire: Black Tie Optional (Glittery attire encouraged)
Ahhh winters in Stillwater. From the whimsical lights adorning Main Street to the St. Croix River frosted under a star-filled sky, there has always been something magical about this location during the most wonderful time of year.
We hope to capture this magic on our wedding day, while adding a little bit of the New York City glamour we both adore ever so much. Our goal is to create an exuberant ice forest of romance and class with an aim for "Princess Elsa from Frozen" vibes. Multiple chandeliers will adorn the ceilings, with specially crafted ice sculptures reflecting their beaming elegance. Ice blue decor will be softened by the occasional cabernet red, and Cranberry Mimosas and NYC Manhattans will decorate our radiant dance floor.
This frosty vibe will be juxtaposed with the warm hearts of our guests—a lovely combination to reflect on the beauty of love and marriage on this fine December eve. We dearly hope that you can lend us your eyes, ears, and warm hearts on our special day for this purpose!
