Decorate your reception with paper snowflakes, "snow" covered centerpieces of magnolias, white mini calla lilies, and paper whites. Serve vanilla Baked Alaska for dessert. Top off the evening with custom favors of snow globes. |

Inside the pale periwinkle-walled "library," you'll be greeted by Archie, the resident cavalier king spaniel, who's been basking in the sunlight, waiting for you.
