Winter Wedding Ideas
I know that you’re in the full force of winter up in the Northern Hemisphere while we are basking in the heat of the summer sun down under (not! It was pissing down with rain all day today!), so I thought why not post winter wedding ideas for couples getting married in the winter time (obviously).
ATTIRE for BRIDE GROOM and WEDDING PARTY
Winter is best represented by white, silver, platinum and light blue. These are the perfect color choice for a winter theme wedding. You can incorporate these colors in the bride, groom and wedding attendants attire. White for the bride and groom, light blue and / or silver for the attendants. However, you have other options too. You may have the bridesmaids dresses made of fabric with snow flakes or stars motif that may even accented with white fur like fabric. Since you are planning gifts for your bridesmaids and flower girls, present them with Swarovski crystal on silver with or without pearls, or pearl jewelry on silver such as that offered in our discount mall. Tiaras should also be studded with swarovski crystals and or pearls on silver. The Swarovski jewelry glistens like snow in the sun while pearls offer the prism. What a wonderful yet inexpensive way to have your bridal party match the winter theme of your wedding.
WINTER WEDDING RECEPTION:
Look for a reception hall that has a fireplace. If lighting a real fire is not permitted, use make-believe logs that look like real lit fireplace. Many stores carry them. You may also check with your local theater for props.
Use silver serving pieces, glass or crystal drinkwear and winter white dishes.
Decorate with silver, white, platinum and light blue. Use one of the colors or coordinate these colors for your table cloths and napkins, garlands, streamers, icicles, tinsel, balloons, ribbons, flowers with silver ribbons in silver vases, flickering light strings, snow flakes or stars etc… You may wish to spray your decorations with sparkle or fake snow. White and blue tulle will also help create a winter atmosphere.
IDEAS FOR WINTER WEDDING CENTERPIECES:
# For added effect, place your centerpieces on a mirror.
White or white and light blue flowers in a silver or crystal vase
# An ice sculpture surrounded by a wreath of white or white and light blue flowers adorned with silver ribbon, by a chain of flickering lights or by 4 snow globes.
# A candle (in a hurricane glass) surrounded by a wreath of white or white and light blue flowers adorned with silver ribbon or by 4 snow globes.
# Little standing dolls and white styrofoam balls as children playing with snow balls.
# Snow men/women
# Glass snow flakes,
# Silver foil covered hershey kisses,
# Pails, crystal or glass bowl filled with clear marbles, downy feathers fiberfill or cotton ball sprayed with glitter
# Winter motif confetti.
WINTER WEDDING FAVOR IDEAS:
Gifts of crystal, silver, candles, soaps, silver or crystal picture frames / place card holders. Decorate the wedding favors with white tulle, white-light blue or silver ribbons, silver bells, snow flakes white flowers etc…
CEREMONY:
Use white, silver, platinum and/or light blue, pew bows, flower arrangements where white and light blue are dominant and are tied with silver ribbon. Place your unity candles in silver candle holders which you may choose to decorate with white flowers, or leave the silver to glisten. Spray glitter on the petals in the flowergirl’s basket.
WINTER THEME WEDDING CAKE:
Place a layer of cotton balls or tulle over coiled flickering white bulbs all around the wedding cake so it looks as if your cake is sitting on snow.
How about a cake decorated as a winter village or a snow scene?
Today, many bakers can actually “print” a picture on the cake using edible food coloring.
or you may have your cake look like a star or decorated with snow flakes.
Thanks to A Wedding Day for the tips!
