I N S P I R AT I O N : Mark and Lisa

wanted to surprise their guests with something unexpected. They latched onto the idea of an earthy winter wedding--in August. Kristin Banta Events drew upon unique sources, including Alexander McQueen and the Chanel 2010 fall runway show, to create a wintery setting of soft whites, grays and natural wood tones.

C E R E M O N Y : With a fizzy, ice-sphered

cocktail in hand, guests took their seats on wooden benches draped in white and beige pelts. The aisle was lined with birch trees and natural wooden antler chandeliers hung overhead.

S T A T E M E N T P I E C E S : Instead

of traditional florals, the bridal party carried bouquets of antlers, crystal tipped succulents, cotton pods, skeleton leaves and white ferns draped with raw yarn. For Lisa's bouquet, Lilla Bello used antlers to create the overall shape and then added an abundant amount of living tillandsia nestled with raw pulled cotton and natural cotton pods while chunks of rock salt, mirror and colored glass created an icy, crystallized finish. The finishing touches included a thick birch handle wrapped in suede cording, gold wire and gold leafing on the antler tips.

I C E , I C E B A B Y: Peppermint martinis,

crystalized branches, a frosted metallic dance floor and projection mapping of falling snow were just a few of the touches that transformed the SLS into a modern winter setting. As guests entered, the DJ played "Baby, It's Cold Outside."

D I N N E R : Guests enjoyed a four-course

dinner seated at a mix of round tables draped in metallic birch linens and long wooden tables. Snowy tablescapes of phalaenopsis orchids, white succulents with crystallized tips, mixed with slate, birch, quartz, cotton pods, silver antlers, glass cloches, snakeskin runners and metallic deer heads were placed alongside a mix of stainless steel, pewter and silver vessels that brought a contemporary feel to the icy-inspired d?cor.

G R A N D E N T R A N C E : Mark and Lisa

entered their reception to the famous Game of Thrones theme song and hit the dance floor for a high-energy dance mashup of songs ranging from Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" to Bruno Mars' "Marry You."
