The Elegance Of Winter Wedding Decor
The winter season is a beautiful and romantic time to have a wedding.
The ground and trees are white, the air is crisp and people are usually
inside, snuggling in their cozy homes next to the fireplace. If you're thinking of having your wedding during the winter months, read
on for some tips and ideas on different winter wedding decor.
Deck The Halls
If you celebrate Christmas, and intend to have your wedding during the
month of December, you can add a touch of the holidays to your winter
wedding decor by using traditional Christmas decorations.
Everyone loves getting into the Christmas spirit. It's a time of year
when people are happier, more relaxed and generally in good spirits.
Bring this cheery vibe to your wedding by adding a touch of the
Christmas season to your wedding.
If you plan to get married in a church, you can decorate the pews with
fresh pine and poinsettias. If you choose to get married outside of the
church, you have more room to decorate and be creative.
For example, you may think of setting up a Christmas tree in the
reception area. To make the event more classy, decorate the tree only in
golds or silvers. Arrange for tiny white lights to wrap around the brush
and trees outside, leading up to the reception area and fill the room
with candles that smell of nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla.
Design different Christmas-themed centerpieces for each table, including
Santa Claus and his reindeer and/or a tiny Christmas trees lined with
colorful Christmas presents. Wedding favors could be ornaments, wrapped
in Christmas paper – guests can take your favors home and put them on
their own tree to remember your wedding for years to come.
Winter Wonderland
If you're not crazy about using Christmas decorations as part of your
winter wedding decor, there are many other ideas to make your special
day magical and romantic. For example, you could have a winter
wonderland decor, filled with white snowflakes, laced with elegant
silver or gold glitter.
Drape white tablecloths over the dinner tables and serve dinner on
silver or gold place settings. Provide wine or champagne in wintery
flutes, with snowflake images on them.
Decorate the inside of the reception area like a cozy winter cabin.
Light a large fireplace, and cover the area with candles to give a soft
glow throughout the room. In addition to the dinner tables, bring in
large bearskin rugs and other soft, fuzzy blankets and chairs for people
to lounge by the fire in.
Be sure to serve hearty winter food, like rich soups and steak or
venison, and finish off the meal with a liqueur or a brandy.
When you're planning your winter wedding decor, you should strive to
make the wedding space warm, cozy and inviting. Winter is a beautiful
time of year when nature goes into hibernation and everything is calm
and silent. People gather inside their homes and spend quality time
having meals or drinks together. Create this same feeling for your
winter wedding and your guests are sure to have a great time
