Lovely winter wedding themes
We have already talked specifically about Christmas weddings and New Year weddings, but perhaps now is a good time to turn our attention to winter weddings generally. In winter the snow very much matches the traditional colours for a white wedding, and the delicate frostwork found at this time of year is very much remininscent of the beautiful white lace that so many brides love.
In fact one of the first things to give some thought to in the case of a winter wedding is the colour scheme, and you have two broad choices. In the wintertime many places will be already decorated in red and green, and you may want to fit these colours into your wedding theme, by decorating the tables with poinsettias, and going for the overall red and green theme. If you decide to get married close to the Christmas season you will find that the church or civic building, and the reception place, will probably already have Christmas decorations.
The other alternative is the natural wintery colour schemes where white is your main theme – some alternatives are elegant silver and white, the prettiness of silver and light blue, chic gold and white, or the ever-beautiful gold and cream.
Another winter theme is snowflakes, and this theme can be used for some very pretty wedding invitations, table decorations and favours.
Another beautiful decoration well suited to winter is candles – they have such a warm glowing and celebratory effect, and if you make the candles scented, then so much the better!
As the weather will be colder brides might consider exchanging the traditional bridal bouquet for a white fur or faux fur muff, and other little bits of fur can be added to the bridal outfit such as a warm fur wrap.
Winter holiday lights make great decorations, and you can get these in many styles, from fairy lights to icicle lights, and they come in a variety of colours from all white, to blue and white, to multi-coloured.
There are a wide variety of winter wedding themes to choose from, and whatever your taste, it is possible to create a wonderful theme that is in keeping with the season.
