With the winter blast sweeping the nation right now, I just had to share this beautiful gathering from Sarah Parlos of One Fine Day! How gorgeous is this? Makes me want to get out and play in the snow….as long as there is a campfire and some s’mores. Hope you stay warm while you enjoy this beautiful setting…be sure to read the details on how you can pull your own winter party together from Sarah after the photos.
Here are the details in Sarah’s words: This styled shoot took place on a beautiful private property in Connecticut in January this year. Our inspiration came from the simple thought of “Winter in New England”. We want to encourage others to throw a wonderful winter land party with family, friends, or even a Jack & Jill for their Wedding! In New England winter is embraced by many! With delicious food, a cozy fire, blankets to snuggle with, ice skates for the pond and of course sleds, you can easily have a memorable day!
We chose decor elements that are easy to find around your house or yard, including using a door for our table, tree stumps for the legs, wine bottles to hold our taper candles, tin plates, a ladder turned into our ice skate rack, baskets and sleds! We used colorful fabric to create our own napkins & table runners (on the dessert table) and even threw in sparklers to liven up our scrumptious hot chocolate!

Now that would be a way to really celebrate the cold. Here in the south it would be hard to plan something like that because luckily when we get snow it is only around a few days, if that. Beautiful

Love this idea! Can’t pull it off in California, unless we took a trip to Tahoe. Hmmm.. 😉
