Today we want to share some amazing winter wedding ideas. Do you enjoy the snowy, cold weather? Do you find winter to be a magical time of year? If so, perhaps a winter wedding is an appealing option for you and your fiancé. In this article, we will explore winter wonderland wedding ideas and winter wedding decoration ideas.
Winter Wonderland Wedding Ideas
Have you always dreamed of having a winter wedding? A winter wedding with snowy-filled photo shoots and holiday-themed details. Planning any wedding can be stressful, thrilling, and fun. There are many ways to make your wedding unique, but where should you begin?
Pre-wedding plaid
Your wedding party is going to need something fun to wear as they prepare for the wedding. If you are looking for some winter ideas, why not give everyone matching plaid pajamas instead of silk robes? Flannel is comfy and cute.
Festive tuxedos and wedding dresses
Stick to a winter theme by choosing festive tuxes and dresses. Consider wearing a burgundy suit or tux. This could make your winter wedding unique but could be used at any time of year. Another winter option would be emerald green or navy velvet tuxedos. The bride may want to wear white boots to mix things up. Give the bridesmaids beautiful coats.
Winter bouquets and flowers
In your winter wedding, you may want to include some popular winter flowers such as anemones, orchids, and roses. You could also incorporate long branches of pine needles into your bouquet. You could add a velvet ribbon to tie your winter bouquet together. Pine cones are the most recognizable winter symbol. You could use mini pine cones in the boutonnieres.
Winter foods and drinks
As part of your winter-themed wedding, you could have a DIY hot chocolate station. It is a seasonally appropriate beverage and a creative option that your guests will love. If you are looking for a cocktail to serve at your winter wedding, you could serve your favorite red drink. To get your guests in the holiday spirit, why not serve a warm cinnamon-infused cocktail before the wedding? Rather than adding flowers to the wedding cake, you could add pinecones and greenery to make the cake more wintery.
Winter wedding photography
If you are having a winter wedding, take advantage of wintery scenes for your photo backdrops. Majestic snowy mountains make a great backdrop in the wintertime. Take some photos in a horse-drawn sleigh. You could get some photos in the forest. To add color from all the white, have the photographer take the photos during the golden hour. If your wedding venue already has Christmas trees in place, stage a photoshoot in front of them. It is a clever way to capture the holiday spirit in your wedding album.
Winter wedding favors
Everyone loves creative, thoughtful wedding favors. You could pass out a pair of mittens to each of the guests. Who does not love hot chocolate? Maybe consider sending your guests home with a customized mini hot chocolate kit placed at each place setting. Next time they drink hot chocolate they will think of your special day. Surprisingly, chocolate is not for everyone. As an alternative, you could pass out personalized tea bags that have your names on them. If you want, you can add small mugs as well. Another entertaining wedding favor option is giving the guests personalized playing cards. Each card will say your name and the date of your wedding to remind them of the night.
Winter Wedding Decoration Ideas
Winter wedding decorations should be festive and a fun way to include Christmas-inspired decor. Use your creativity to bring your winter wedding to life. Create a cozy, romantic atmosphere with winter decorations.
The aisle
There are several options to decorate a winter wedding. Candles down the wedding aisle create a beautiful, romantic, but cozy setting. Create a winter wonderland by getting married underneath a wedding ceremony arch decorated with white and silver with added snowflakes. You could transform your winter wedding venue by adding greenery to the ceiling and along the aisle. This will give the space a tree farm-like or enchanted forest atmosphere. If you are planning an outdoor winter wedding, adding a rug aisle runner will cozy up the space.
Backdrops
Unique backdrops always add to wedding decor. If you are planning a more rustic winter wedding, a wooden planked wall is the perfect backdrop. Adding a custom neon sign will complete the backdrop and will add a more personalized touch. Another creative option is to add a red velvet backdrop at the reception. This will give the space a more Old Hollywood glamor feel. You could also decorate the entire venue with twinkle lights. This will give it a magical, winter wonderland atmosphere. Indoor or outdoor, a string of glistening twinkle lights can help set the tone for your wedding. Consider dangling them from the ceiling, incorporating them into the tablescape décor, or stringing them into a majestic canopy at the reception.
Table and seating decor
A winter wedding theme may include ice blue, silver, and charcoal tones. You can create a silver and charcoal-colored seating chart. To enhance the chart, you can use candles and existing elements of your venue to add warmth and contrast. If a wintry night sky is inspiring, you may choose a celestial-themed wedding. As place settings for this theme, you could use moon-shaped details and a metallic color palette will help you pull off the ethereal vibe. If you are going for more simplistic table decor, consider pairing greens with red linens for a wintry, laid-back feeling. Consider adding snowflake ice sculptures as a table centerpiece or serving drinks and hors d’oeuvres from a twelve-foot ice bar. This will add uniqueness to your winter-themed wedding.
Heaters for the wedding reception
Even in a warm climate, temperatures can drop at night during the winter. Keep your guests comfortable with space heaters placed throughout the space. This is a practical component of your winter wedding decor. If your wedding is outdoors, you could provide blankets for your guests. They could take the blankets home as a wedding favor.
Finally, winter weddings can be magical and full of seasonal surprises. Celebrate with all your friends and family in an eloquent venue, with beautiful winter decor, deep color palettes, and a hint of romance.
