Here's a little article I created for Project Wedding for an at-home winter wedding. To me, it seems like a natural time to have a wedding; family is together and the house is already decorated. It's inexpensive and personal.
Another idea I love: instead of a wedding dress, order a bridesmaid's dress in white or cream. It's much cheaper. The dress pictured is absolutely adorable in real life and has pockets!! See full article here.
Thank yous: Sandra + Jon for modeling! The English Dept for the dress. Elizabeth + Sara for assisting. The lovely family in Lake Oswego who let us shoot this at their adorable home.
that dress is adorable, not to mention the green boots! swoon!
such sweet photos, chelsea!
Gorgeous! I always prefer bridesmaid dresses to wedding dresses (I hate floor length so there’s much more choice from the bridesmaids collections)
Her outfit is adorable!
Super cute my dear!
gorgeous! the red door, the berry bouquet, the wellies! makes me want to get married all over again, but this time in the winter with a little snow on the ground.
Wow! Beautifully done! I wish I could attend this one! 🙂
beautifully done! love this idea..
Gorgeous reds and greens!!
Love the red barn door ~~

This is really, really beautiful and really well photographed. Winter weddings are some of the most lovely and most creative.
I’m smitten! And I’ve always wanted a wedding at home ( probably not my parents home, given our massive massive family, but the somewhat larger home of my grandparents, perhaps?).
My grandma got married the day after Christmas at home and I always thought there was something special about that. Love your post.
lovely! and her boots are SO adorable!!!
That is a very sweet concept for a wedding. I was just telling my bff that I love Tartan print for weddings.
I *love* this idea! Brilliant + creative! xo.
This is soooo cute!
I would love to recreate this just for Christmas photos. So beatiful, Chelsea!
this says {frolic!} from head to toe. i love it!
I never thought I would want a winter wedding, but this changes my mind. It’s so perfectly charming.
how adorable chelsea!
How fabulously chic are you??? 😉 LOVE!
Happy Holidays Chelsea!!!

As a proud lover of rain boots, I must say that the colour was a good choice!
That dress, those flowers, the house, the rainboots, everything is perfect! Congratulations for the awesome wedding! Your Wedding-at-home concept is nice!
One a the cutest and intimate looking at-home weddings we’ve seen. Great job!
