Irresistibly Iridescent: Winter Wedding Inspiration That Seriously Shimmers

Iridescent Wedding Inspiration

While Wisconsin winters can drag on, this creative team decided to channel those icy feelings for something ultra-cool, ultra-modern, and utterly iridescent. Danielle of Rosewood Weddings shares: What inspired us, initially, was finding leftover tinsel on the floor New Year’s Day. To us, all the luminous colors that popped up while ringing in 2019 paired well with Milwaukee’s frigid, dry winter.

That leftover tinsel served as the main palette inspiration: silvery blues, iridescent purples, and heaps of glitter. To add an interesting contrast they introduced neutral florals and tons of dried grasses. Think that sounds like a cool combo? Just wait until you see all the rest of the shimmering designs in the photos Sarah Glick Photography snapped at South Second. Let’s look!

Glitter can oftentimes be overwhelming, but Hall Creative Co introduced it in a luxe and understated way as envelope liners.
