Winter Theme Weddings – 27 Ways to Tie in the Season
By Cori Russell
Winter theme weddings can be uber chic and ethereal – an absolute wonderland, if you will. Read on for tips, ideas, and inspiration on planning a winter wedding.
All In the Details – Winter Wedding Ideas
Invitations & Stationery
* Add a wintery motif – such as a snowflake or holly branch – to your stationery suite
* Go white on white – and create a snowy first impression.
* Add metallics – jazz it up with a hint of silver or gold.
Location
* Think intimate and cozy – bed and breakfasts or inns complete with roaring fires and plush décor create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Bonus points if you can score a view overlooking a scenic winterscape.
* Think elegant and grand – a formal hotel ballroom overlooking the city evokes a celebratory mood to match the holiday spirit.
* Think seasonal activities – a ski lodge or mountain chalet guarantees a true winter experience and a nice getaway for your guests
Décor elements
* Color palette – 1) new-fallen snow – use whites and creams accented with silver or gold. 2) winter sparkle – ice blue or navy accented with silver. 3) black tie – black is especially suited for a winter wedding when paired with white, silver or gold.
* Go glam – deck your halls with crystal detailing for a sparkling winter effect – adorning linens and chair covers or sprinkled over table tops. The result is deliciously glam and oh so fab.
* Liberal use of candle light – the glow will add warmth and elegance.
* Holiday theme – decorate with potted evergreens, pine branches, wreathes, poinsettias, ornaments, bells, or twinkling white lights.
Flowers
* Seasonal blooms – white stephanotis, poinsettia, holly, amaryllis, camellias, roses.
* Added interest and texture – incorporate holiday greenery or tiny crystals into your arrangements
* Creative bouquets – instead of flowers, carry tea lights, votive candles or cascading bells Tossing alternative – have your flower girl throw silver glitter or sprinkle fake snow.
Menu
* Hearty dishes – serve heartier fare in sophisticated, creative ways – such as colorful butternut squash puree or warm pumpkin soup in ramekins or shot glasses.
* Wintery beverages – warm guests with eggnog, spiced wine or mixed coffee drinks.
Cake
* White on white – adorn an all white cake with marzipan snowflakes or swiss dots, or top with fresh white poinsettias or stephanotis
* Get rich – serve a decadent chocolate cake or cheese cake with raspberry sauce/filling, and decorate with chocolate covered cherries or strawberries.
* Top it off – use a decorative snow globe or snowflake as a seasonal topper
Attire
* Rich fabrics – warm up to velvet, satin, brocade, and heavy silk
* Add a layer – if your wedding dress is sleeveless or strapless, add a wrap, shrug or cape in white or in one of your wedding colors
* Winter white – dress the wedding party, flower girl and ring bearer in winter white for a chic, clean look.
* Black tie – formal attire at an elegant winter wedding is always a classic
Favors
* Sip it – give decorative tins or packets of hot cocoa mix
* Let it snow – inside mini snow globes
* Celebrate – with splits of champagne
* Indulge a sweet tooth – decorate sugar cookies as snowflakes, bells, or another seasonal emblem
