Gabrielle and Victor had the most romantic Christmas wedding. Steel Magnolia Barn was artfully decked out in all its Christmas glory. We are so glad that Ivory Door Studio was there to artfully capture all the beautiful details as they made memories with those that they love the most.

The day began with the expert stylists at The Social Chair primping and pampering the bride, her mom and her bestie. Everything from hair to expertly applied makeup…they certainly looked amazing!






Once hair, makeup and bridal bonding was complete Gabrielle’s mother assisted her into her beautiful bridal gown. Her best friend pampered her with some final touches before adding the veil. Her beautiful gown flowed in the light breeze adding an ethereal air to her look. With the delicate sheer sleeves buttoned with pearls, plunging neckline and square cutout back she looked absolutely stunning. You have to agree…she was a showstopper! And Victor certainly was no slouch in his suit. We thought that he looked quite dapper. Don’t you? We know that these two certainly couldn’t keep their eyes off each other!



Everyone kept asking to see Gabrielle’s ring. Her solitaire nestled delicately into the surrounding wedding band for a beautiful combination. Just like the Christmas newlyweds, it perfectly paired with Victor’s wedding band.



Steel Magnolia Barn was the perfect backdrop for their Christmas wedding ceremony. Inviting only their nearest and dearest they had an romantic ceremony in front of the fireplace. Every inch of the venue was decked out in their finest Christmas decor from trees to twinkle lights. Even oversized ornaments and perfectly shaped evergreen arbors to outline the ceremony space.






The Christmas wedding ceremony was performed by the wedding officiant from Elope In Tennessee. Victor and Gabrielle were surrounded by love and prayers for a happy marriage. Once the rings were exchanged the Christmas newlyweds were pronounced husband and wife. As they shared their first kiss as husband and wife cheers could be heard all around.



The gorgeous winter white bouquet created by Larson Floral Co. was accented with baby’s breath and an assortment of eucalyptus adding a feast of fragrance. The beautiful bouquet and boutonniere were the perfect accents for a romantic Christmas wedding in Tennessee.

Publix created a beautiful red velvet cake for Gabrielle & Victor’s wedding day. Talk about the perfect flavor for an Christmas wedding. They were all too excited to cut into it, too! Their guest could hardly wait to get a bite once they learned it was red velvet. It is a family favorite! Doesn’t it look elegant decked out in florals from Larson Floral Co.?
