Dreaming of a winter wedding, but don’t know where to start? Contrary to popular belief, its not hard to achieve! All you really need are the following 5 elements to achieve your picture perfect day.
The first thing to do when planning a wedding in any season, is to find the perfect venue. Themed wedding or not, your venue sets the tone of your day. For a winter wedding, you’ll want to find a venue that has the elements of the type of celebration you are looking for. For example, if it’s a White Winter Wonderland you’re after, your venue should have white walls, white ceilings, white floors, chandeliers, etc, or have the ability to recreate the all-white wonderland look you are going for. The same goes for a rustic or holiday theme.
The second element to a fabulous winter wedding are the bride’s dress and wedding party attire. After you have selected your venue, the next thing to do is dress shopping so find the bride can find the perfect dress. The venue and the bride’s dress sets the tone for the wedding. Most brides want to wear white, which of course will go with whatever color palate you choose, but since traditions are more lenient now brides can choose to wear ivory, green, pink or whatever! Speaking of colors, you can choose their theme based on the desired colors you want to use for your wedding celebration. Each year color enthusiasts look to companies like Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore and Pantone to determine the Color of the Year! Mixing colors with fabric like velvet, velour and even fur can make your wedding fashion pop! Using these colors for inspiration can help bring your wedding ideas and dreams to life!
This brings us to the third element in your fabulous winter wedding: Romantic Scenery! Create your ambiance with hues and tones that bring out your desired look. From slate blue and grey to peach and pastel colors to bright reds, blues and greenery with the right backdrops and candlelight can make any wedding a romantic encounter for all in attendance.
Winter weddings are also known for cozy atmospheres. This fourth element can be obtained by providing blankets for outdoor ceremonies, cocktail hour by the fireplace and a dimly lit/candlelight reception. This is often coupled with the type of food being served and we all know that one thing everyone looks forward to at weddings is the food.
Comfort food is definitely the fifth element to have at a wonderful winter wedding. At the top of the list is a cozy coffee or hot chocolate bar with cute cups and all the delicious flavors and toppings. Everyone is bound to find a favorite here to keep them warm! Another idea is a s’mores bar especially if your venue has an open fire pit. It’s a fun way to fuel romance with a tasty treat. Hot on the wedding scene are food trucks that pull right up to the venue area and serve everything from tacos, to burgers and fries, empanadas, funnel cake, and even ice cream in the winter. You name it – it can be done! For help with your winter wedding or any wedding or event reach out to House of Eros Bridal Boutique.
