As the holidays are quickly approaching, there will be quite a few ladies surprised with an engagement ring; whether it is hidden in the tree on Christmas morning or a New Years Eve proposal is in the works, there will be many newly engaged couples this holiday season.  With the ring securely in place, it is time to start planning and there is nothing we love more than a Christmas wedding!!!  With amazing bouquets of deep red roses and glittering centerpieces, the holidays are the perfect time to not only get engaged but also to have the wedding!!  As a bride, you can choose a gown with a little extra sparkle like Monique Lhuillier's Aspen or even add a faux fur shrug for some extra winter glam!! These extras can be the perfect accents for your winter wonderland theme!  A recent bride of ours even had 10 foot Christmas trees as part of her reception decor, and it was absolutely stunning!

Talk about no pressure!! Miss Middleton did NOT disappoint when she stepped out in her custom ivory and lace gown created for her by designer Sarah Burton for the legendary Alexander McQueen. With a high neck collar and lace sleeves reminiscent of Princess Grace, her gown wowed spectators all over the world as she walked down the aisle to wed her prince.
