One Fine Day New Zealand

Mina & Boya traveled from China with their closest friends and family for a beautiful destination elopement set in the middle of winter in the mountain village of Queenston, New Zealand. Boya's parents had visited the luxury Matakouri Lodge a year before and fell in love with it while traveling. The luxury lodge only does a small number of weddings a year and they took a helicopter into a beautiful alpine mountain lake covered in snow. A truly special day with their nearest and dearest. They chose Queenstown as their destination because they wanted their guests to visit one of the most beautiful locations and they chose the snowy mountain lake because their beautiful baby was conceived in a snowy mountain ski trip overseas and have called her a 'snow baby'

A winter wedding is simply a wedding held in the winter that truly embraces the nature of the season. Whether you keep to an icy palette of white, silver and light blues or lean more toward the colors of the holidays, your day will evoke the beauty of winter.

We love when brides incorporate a wintery accessory like a faux fur shrug or gorgeous white jacket.

Need vendors for your Winter wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Winter weddings are a popular style because the beauty of the natural outdoor setting will make any wedding memorable! Popular winter wedding venues include ski lodges, open barns and even forests. All venues that allow the natural beauty of winter to shine through.

This wedding style can be formal or semi-formal, often includes an outdoor element to honor the natural beauty and we see lots of long sleeve wedding dresses and more practical footwear. You can play off the season by offering blankets to your guests or having a hot chocolate bar at cocktail hour. The best part of a winter wedding? It's in the offseason so you'll likely get discounted prices from many of your vendors.

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your winter wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.

We think the way you get married matters and should reflect who you are as a couple - adventurous, brave, and bold with an honest love of the great outdoors, and a desire to keep things simple.Whether it’s taking a helicopter into the wild beyond, and declaring your love on a mountain top at sunset, or hiking, biking, or kayaking - we’re here to get you there and capture incredible imagery, so you’ll never forget the feeling of being completely free and wildly in love.

The Wild Beyond

Nestled in the northern shores of Lake Wakatipu is a stunning and romantically beautiful settlement named Glenorchy from where Orange Blossom Designs draws its inspiration. We are a Queenstown Wedding and Event florist, specialising in producing gorgeous floral pieces such as bridal bouquets, button holes and corsages, head garlands to the much larger table centre pieces, archway florals, hanging arrangements, hoop arrangements and many more tailored pieces.

Our florist Steph has been working in the floral industry with over 14 years’ experience, and has a huge passion for flowers and foliage. Steph has a unique whimsical and loose garden style, with the love of foraging in the hills looking for special little pieces to make your bouquet even more delicious.

Being based in our little town Glenorchy, Orange Blossom Designs operates from a studio, and not a retail store. This allows us to provide you with an exceptional service and dedicate all of our time to designing and creating your special day.
