Winter Wedding Magic at The Emerald Cottage Brainerd



If you think winter weddings are all about shivering and bundling up—think again. A recent winter wedding at our Brainerd cottage venue proved that chilly weather and cozy romance are a match made in wedding heaven.
Picture this: fresh, glistening snow, twinkling fairy lights, and a bride looking like a snow queen against a dreamy winter backdrop. The intimate lakeside setting took on a whole new level of enchantment as the couple exchanged vows surrounded by frost-kissed trees and the serene, icy beauty of the lake.
Some of the most breathtaking moments were captured right on the frozen lake—talk about a winter wonderland! The bride’s flowing gown against the snowy landscape? Pure magic. The groom, wrapped in warmth, holding her close as snowflakes fell around them? Straight out of a storybook.
Of course, the cottage itself became a cozy retreat filled with candlelight, warm drinks, and an ambiance that felt like the perfect winter embrace. Guests gathered inside for an intimate reception, complete with twinkling lights, soft blankets, and seasonal florals that made the space feel even more magical.
And let’s not forget about the glam! We took care of the bride’s hair and makeup, ensuring she looked effortlessly radiant despite the winter chill.
If you’re dreaming of a winter wedding that’s intimate, picturesque, and completely unforgettable, our lakeside cottage is your dream venue. Let’s create your own snowy fairytale—reach out today!
