Bring Sparkling Warmth to Your Winter Wedding Ceremony
Winter wedding decorations bring sparkling warmth to a chilly, wintry day. From the snow to holidays, seasonal decor celebrate your love and the spirit of this special season.
During the winter, we think of fireplaces, holidays and snow-covered peaks. Choose a location that brings winter to life, such as an old-fashioned inn with a working fireplace or a manor with a spacious ballroom and scenic views. Your guests can look out the window at the snow while enjoying the luxury of your wedding reception indoors.
Bring the snow inside with a snow themed winter decor. You can include snowflakes in all the elements of your day. Regardless of your religious denomination, snow is a universal sign of winter. Print out winter wonder bulletins imprinted with snowflakes to use as a program at your wedding ceremony. Choose a variety of accessories with snowflake embellishments to offset every part of your day. A glazed porcelain snowflake cake topper brings snow to your cake cutting ceremony and becomes a lasting keepsake of your day. Even your bride and groom toasting set can be decorated with sparkling snowflake designs.
Snowflakes are popular so they appear on a multitude of wedding accessories. Use a guest book with snowflakes and place it on a table with snow-colored confetti with a matching pen for guest to use when signing. Hang sparkling silver snowflakes from the ceiling to create an indoor winter wonderland. The bride can even wear a glittering snowflake garter under her wedding gown to use during the garter throwing ceremony.
White flowers are often integrated into winter wedding. Use a variety of white flowers to create an elegant, wintry look throughout your wedding ceremony and reception. Beautiful flowers for your winter wedding include white roses, calla lilies and orchids. Calla lilies can be used on all your wedding accessories as a delightful, traditional winter wedding style.
Besides white, add robust colors to your winter wedding decorations. Red and green are natural choices during the holiday and winter season. Add metallic touches of silver for a wintry feel wherever you go. Wrap white lights in tulle to illuminate walls, walkways and hallways to guide your guests to the reception with a fantasy feeling around them. Put snowflake shaped holders with tea lights on your wedding reception tables. Use battery operated tea lights for safety if you invite children to your wedding. Place snowflake decorated place cards at each guest’s spot so they know where to sit.
Traditional holiday accents also make wonderful decor. Place a potted poinsettia with a large silver ribbon as a centerpiece at each table. Use small Christmas trees to decorate the outdoors where your wedding reception is held so your guests know where to go. If you use wedding directional signs to guide your guests, make sure they aren’t covered in snow so they can’t be seen.
Often mints are used as part of winter inspirations because of the popularity of peppermints during the holidays and the overall coolness of mints. Hint with mint about your wedding theme by using sweet sentiments stickers with your names on wedding invitations, thank you notes and favors. Give out mints in special contains to all your guests as a “sentimental” reminder of your special day. Besides adding a cool touch to your winter wedding decorations, mints also help to settle nervous stomachs for traveling or anxious guests.
Bring a wintry world to your guests’ everyday by giving out adorable snow globes as favors on your wedding day. Your guests will always remember your unique winter wedding when they shake up a snow globe with a winter scene.
A whimsical favor for your winter wedding guests is heart-shaped hand warmers personalized with your names. A silver plated friendship ornament filled with candies or mints will become a lasting keepsake of your wedding to be displayed on all your guests’ Christmas trees every year.
On your way out of the wedding, put on an attractive angora hat that reads “Bride” to show off your new title and protect your head from the falling snow. Dazzling winter decor add seasonal charm to your special day.
