Merry Christmas Eve, lovelies! We hope you're all getting ready for a few days of festivities (and relaxation!) with your nearest and dearest. Since this is the season for warmth + magic, today's shoot - coming to us all the way from Russia - is a perfect fit! Planner, Olga Malieva, and the designers at White Zebra knew exactly how to style a setting that combined timeless romance with a prevailing holiday feel. They teamed up with Viktoriya Nikolaeva, who created some of the most jaw-dropping florals we've seen in a while and entrusted photographer, Aleksandra Sashina, to capture it all.

Olga shares, The inspiration was the color Marsala - a noble, rich and passionate hue! Be sure to pin your favorite details, and stop by GWS again in a little bit for our last holiday feature before we sign off for Christmas!

The bride's dramatic Helena Ammaniti dress is winning our hearts and the groom looked dapper in a classic tux from Costumecode.

We love these dramatically beautiful portraits by Aleksandra.

Romantic candlelight makes the dark, moody space at Cross-Photo Studio feel intentionally expressive and sets the perfect mood for a winter wedding.

We're going to find it hard to say goodbye to marsala! Did you fall for this Pantone color as hard as we did?

A big thanks to the talented Russia-based team of creative below for sharing their beautiful work with us today!
