A Christmas House Inn Wedding

The Troutt wedding brought bright florals, a garden ceremony, and a lantern-lit dance floor to the historic Christmas House Inn.

The Troutt wedding used the historic rooms and garden spaces of Christmas House Inn for a warm, personal celebration.

Bright flowers, green clapboard architecture, and a lantern-lit reception made the day feel colorful and welcoming from start to finish.

Getting Ready Inside the Inn

The morning unfolded in the inn's character-filled rooms. Window light, patterned glass, and dark wood created a classic backdrop for the bouquet, dress, and quiet portraits before the ceremony.

A Colorful Garden Ceremony

Guests gathered in the garden while orange, red, yellow, and white flowers framed the ceremony. The compact setting kept everyone close as the couple exchanged vows beneath the gazebo.

Dancing Beneath the Lanterns

After sunset, strings of lights and round paper lanterns transformed the outdoor reception. The couple's first dance and cake cutting led into a full dance floor beneath the trees.
