Michael & Lisa wanted a Christmas theme for their CardHouse, with a snow-bride & groom.

They gave us this picture, and asked what we could do to replicate the large part of the church ...

We did add a bit of 'landscaping', but stayed fairly true to the original.  

The couple are lighted by spotlights hidden within the bushes on either side of the gate.  

Despite having only bits of grapevine for arms, our bride sports quite the 'significant' diamond.

And it would appear that she very much likes her new hubby!

Amber light pours from crystalline candy windows onto the Holly bushes below at the rear of the church.  The big tree on the left, hallway, and all windows are lighted, as is the customized 'Cards' sign in the yard.  A nesting dove on the treetop holds a promise of peace and joy, and the smoke from the chimney tells its own little story of the warmth inside.

The last liberty we took with design was to turn the cross on the outside of the building into a golden, lighted window.

We're relatively certain no one was offended.
