The Paseo Wedding: Chris + Taylor

Holly red florals string across their arch resembling hollies strung across a Christmas fireplace. Accented with stunning deep royal blues and sparkling evergreen details, Chris and Taylor’s Christmas Wedding was a winter delight. With The Paseo as their choice of venue, pine and fir trees frosted the scenery. Winter hues of red, green, and a timeless white were ornamented around the grounds.

Decor laid itself pretty with gold pinecones, natural greens, cozy blankets, and a magical fire place. It had all the Christmas nostalgia wrapped up in one magical December day. Guests’ kept warm by holding their dearly loved one close and by the wondrous woody scents and crackling sounds of the Paseo fireplace.

With the classic Starbucks cup of warm Mocha on stand by, the bride gets ready at the Gold Canyon Resort.

The bride and groom kept their love on for their guests by providing a blanket to keep on and to keep warm. Sitting perfectly to overlook the mountain range is the floral contoured wedding arch at The Paseo.
