Ahh, winter! The crisp air and newly fallen snow that makes everything feel fresh and vibrant! It’s a perfect setting for a warm winter wedding. Plus, there are several up-sides to having a winter wedding:
- Less competition for your desired sites and vendors, possibly at a discounted rate.
- At-hand décor if you’re marrying around the holidays.
- Built-in elegance and sophistication of the season.
So, forget about the cold and cozy up to a few of our great ideas. If you’re planning a wedding, you may be persuaded that winter is the ideal time for your big day!
Wintery Welcome
Welcoming details never go unnoticed by the guests at your reception. Have a basket of pashminas or shawls available for guests to wrap around them if they’re a bit chilly. Or take it up a notch and create a warm lounge area for your guests to enjoy by renting additional pillows and throws from your special events vendor to enhance the cozy winter flair at your reception.
Another welcoming detail for guests is a tasty drink. During your cocktail hour, put your wedding colors into a signature cocktail like this refreshing, icy blue concoction. Or, provide a soothing, warm drink like spiced or mulled wine, hot buttered rum, or hot chocolate accented with frosted sugar for an additional wintery touch.
Winter Fashion
Keep warm on your wedding day with fur or woolen outerwear. From gloves, wraps, capes, muffs to even a hat, you will be ready to have your picture taken outdoors in a winter wonderland AND look fashionable while you do it! Add an antique brooch or jewel as a clasp to your wrap or on your gloved wrist that will provide the perfect sparkle and vintage flare to your winter bridal fashion.
And don’t forget your attendants by adding a colorful, warm wrap to their wedding ensemble. A great idea for a bridesmaid gift!
See you back here tomorrow for the rest of our invigorating winter wedding ideas!
Until then,
