A Winter Wonderland Wedding at Birch Wood Vineyards in Derry, New Hampshire

Weddings during the winter hold a special magic, especially when they take place at an enchanting venue like Birch Wood Vineyards in Derry, New Hampshire. The combination of a snowy landscape, twinkling lights, and the warmth of love creates an unforgettable day. Recently, we had the honor of capturing the beautiful wedding of Angie and Issac.

The Perfect Setting

On January 9th, just nine days after the New Year, Birch Wood Vineyards was transformed into a winter wonderland. Christmas trees adorned the venue, and a soft layer of snow covered the ground, making the location feel cozy and festive. Angie and Issac chose this venue to make their wedding a truly memorable celebration, and it did not disappoint.

As the night unfolded, the DJ from BDJ Events raised the energy with incredible lighting that turned the ballroom into a vibrant dance club. The couple even had a looping slideshow of their engagement photos projected in front of the DJ booth, a lovely touch that allowed guests to reminisce about their journey together.

A Love Story with Heart

Angie and Issac’s connection was palpable throughout the day. Issac is exceptionally loving, while Angie’s fun-loving spirit shines through her huge heart. Together, they embody a perfect balance that adds joy to any occasion. The loving details they incorporated into their wedding tell the story of their journey and family.

Meaningful Moments

One of the most touching details of Angie’s dress was that she had a piece of her father’s blue shirt sewn into the underneath of her gown. Not only that, but she surprised her sister by sewing in the same heart detail in her dress. Such personal touches make a wedding day even more special, reminding everyone of family bonds that transcend even loss.

A Colorful Palette

The wedding was filled with beautiful hues, including the maid of honor’s forest green dress, the bridesmaids’ medium dusty purple attire, and the junior bridesmaids adorned in lilac purple. The moms of the bride and groom wore dark green, creating a lovely color palette that complemented the winter season beautifully.

Celebrating Family Traditions

For Angie and Issac, family is everything. Special family traditions played a significant role in their wedding day. Issac’s grandparents were present, and his grandpa was notably lively throughout the celebration, making him a highlight of the night.

The couple honored their fathers, who were no longer with them, by dedicating decor in their memory. A welcome sign prepared by the couple was prominently displayed, alongside chairs during the ceremony reserved for their fathers, reminding everyone of the support they had throughout their lives.

Dance Floor Magic

One of the most memorable aspects of the wedding was the family dances. Issac danced with his mother-in-law and both of his mothers, while Angie shared dances with her mother, her two brothers and sister. As the youngest in her family, these meaningful moments filled the room with emotion and joy, demonstrating the love and support surrounding them.

Angie, a cheer coach, brought an added element of excitement to the occasion. Her cheer team, along with supportive parents, showcased cheer routines on the dance floor, adding a vibrant and energetic touch to the celebration. The atmosphere was electric, punctuated by backflips and cheers that uplifted the spirit of the night.

Special Unique Touches

This wedding was filled with unique details that set it apart. For instance, Issac and Angie created a personalized sign for their wedding day, which they had also used during their engagement session in the spring. This commitment to personal touches showcased their creativity and deep connection to their journey as a couple.

Both the bride and groom also honored the memory of their deceased fathers by including tokens of remembrance throughout their day. From handkerchiefs belonging to great-grandparents to photos sewn into the groomsmen’s ties, every detail was steeped in love and remembrance.

Additionally, a figurine of their beloved dog, Hemi, topped their wedding cake, bringing a personal and whimsical touch to the celebration.

Choosing the Right Vendors

Capturing the romance and energy of Angie and Issac’s wedding would not have been possible without a team of skilled vendors. The dreamy cake from Chickadee Hill Cakes added a delicious centerpiece to their reception, while Mullaney Films provided stunning videography to document their unforgettable day. The ambiance created by BDJ Events ushered guests onto the dance floor and maintained a lively atmosphere throughout the reception.

Hair and makeup were beautifully executed by the talented teams at @stylesby_shayla and @joyabeautyusa, ensuring Angie looked radiant on her special day.
