Having a winter wedding is a great excuse for some wonderful themes for your special day. Here are a few suggestions.
Everyone enjoys a mid-year Christmas celebration! Having a wedding in late June or in July is the perfect time to merge these two fantastic celebrations together.
If you’re thinking about a Christmas wedding theme, reds and greens are of course the festive colours of choice. You could of course wear a spectacular ruby wedding dress but if that is too bold for you why not add a deep red into your accessories, your jewellery, shoes or wear a lovely red cape. Introduce the same colour into the grooms cumberbands, waistcoats or in the bouquet and buttonholes.
Add some finishing touches to your Christmas wedding by adding bright, colourful wreaths around the venue, use them for table centre decorations and place them on doors.
Table centrepieces can look wonderful with pillar candles also adding to that Christmas warmth feel.
Surprise your guests and recreate Christmas morning with mini gifts wrapped up on the tables.
Why not introduce the red and green colours into your crockery, elegant red square plates with crystal champagne glasses oozes style!
Plus of course don't forget glitter, glitter and more glitter bringing that subtle sparkle to everything you touch!
Metallic Touches
Having a winter wedding means you can be bold and creative. Metallic shades can give a rich and glamorous look.
Dress your bridesmaids in glittering gold and silver dresses with matching shoes. Match the cumberbands of the men. Add subtle embellishments to your wedding outfit and match your shoes.
Spray your bouquet and table pieces in gold and silver spray and use winter items such as cones.
Introduce shades of copper, gold and silver candles, boubles, dishes and decorations.
Scatter your tables with brightly coloured metallic wrapped chocolate hearts.
Top it all off with a spectacular gold or silver wedding cake or bring your bridal look together with copper and gold accessories.
Elegant and chic, a classic styled all white theme portrays a snowy and winter feel. Bring in the snow feel with crytals, silver glitter, fake diamantes, snowflake mats.
Lillies and orchids sprinkled with glitter and hanging christmas boubles.
Place a white rose on each ladies table placing. If you want to bring in some colour try blues and cool pastel colours.
Use wide ribbons covered in both snowflake designs and sparkles. Tall white pillar candles give that warm glow. Use small white organza bags for wedding favours.
Get small tealight glasses and cover with white frost glitter. Fill bowls with clear stones. Hang strings of crystal beads from flower arrangements, ceiling lights giving the effect of melting icicles.
Have your cake dusted with a shimmering white powder.
Black and white can be stunningly classic and elegant. Plus of course can look amazing in black and white photographs of the event!
Glamour and sparkle can be added to each element. Contrast a black table cloth with white chair covers and white table centre decorations.
Dressing can be simple for the groom in an elegant black tuxedo with your clean, sharp white look. However introduce subtle touches of black either in your dress, shoes or accessories to match.
Spray decorations black, white and gold and silver.
Add white centrepieces with subtle black twigs or sprayed foliage.
Tie your bouquet with thick satin black ribbon. Use black and white striped ribbon as your church aisle ends tied in large bows.
Print your invites on black card and write in a silver or gold pen
Wear elegant black jewellery to contrast with your white wedding dress.
Add diamantes to compliment various items.
Winter weddings can be just as much fun as summer weddings so get excited, let that imagination run wild and create a day both you and all your guests will remember forever!
