Christie and Mark were married at the James Leary Flood Mansion between Christmas and New Years. They didn’t want to be completely focused on the holidays, but decided they wanted to pay tribute to winter. So, instead of going with heavy burgundy and darker winter colors, the couple and their planner (Fiori de Meile) went with soft pink and gold to make the indoor wedding light and romantic. “I wanted it to feel like you were walking through a hall of freshly dusted snow,” their planner says. Snowflakes were incorporated throughout as well in another nod to the season.
