We couldn’t let you ring in the new year without sharing some wedspiration for a NYE wedding. So, feast your eyes on this couple’s Detroit wedding and let’s ring in 2013 together!

Shannon carried this unique “bouquet” of beads, feathers, a locket and other glitzy elements.

The ceremony chairs were finished with feathers and metallic leaves — Shannon couldn’t have any flowers at her wedding because she is allergic. The bride’s mom made the reception centerpieces out of branches from Shannon’s childhood home and spray-painted them with gold and then stuck sparkly pieces to them. They were placed in tall glass vases with tiny gold balls in them. Red Christmas ornaments served as the finishing touch to the tablescape.

It’s Christmas day! We understand you’re spending time with your family and friends, but there’s always time to fit in some wedding planning, right? So, in the spirit of the holidays, we pulled a beautiful week-before-Christmas wedding to inspire you. (Have we mentioned we love winter weddings?!) Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Katie and Matt wed on December 17th. Because it was so close to the holiday, the church was decked out in Christmas decorations (a major bonus!), so they only just brought in two floral arrangements.

The bridesmaids carried red and green bouquets — to keep away from the entirely themey feel, they added in some pink orchids. The escort cards had little mistletoe embellishments at the top.

Even though they threw a holiday wedding, the couple still dressed to the nines in black-tie attire. Katie wore a chic Romona Keveza gown, while Matt chose a classic black Ralph Lauren tuxedo. Want to see more? Find all their wedding details here!

What comes to mind when you think “destination wedding“? Beach ceremonies, Italian villas and…below-freezing temperatures? For one Norwegian couple, the ideal destination for their nuptials was the North Pole, the Daily Mail reports. The groom, an arctic explorer by trade, and his bride hopped on a helicopter and jetted to the pole, planted a cross and a few candles in the snow, and made it official in a setting they thought was personal and romantic. “For me it was all about marrying the woman I love in a place I love,” the groom says. They then headed to a Russian research facility for their reception. Talk about work-life balance!
