A Winter Crystal Tree Themed Wedding in the Summer {with a waltz performance}

Today's real wedding is so gorgeously elegant - plus, it makes me think of the movie Frozen, yet their wedding was even before the movie came out. Maybe the movie took some ideas from their wedding? Probably not, but either way . . . the couple's idea of a winter crystal tree theme for a summer wedding is pretty great {and so unique}. I love it! By mixing the seasons together, it symbolized the couples love throughout the whole year, regardless of season. The couple also had a sand ceremony {this is where the vase they pour the sand into becomes a symbol of their joined life together}. The couple even did a waltz performance for their wedding guests - what a fun idea! {Love the dress the bride changed into for her dance}.
