Seeing as we’re smack-dab in the middle of December, I thought it was about time for a winter wedding blog post! Here in Southern California, we don’t get any snow, but the rest of the country is blanketed in a white wonderland as of late. When everything is ice cold, what could be more fun than planning something cozy? (And who says you need snow to have a winter wedding, anyway?)
I’ve assembled a hodgepodge of winter wedding goodness for you to ooh and ahh over. Better put on some warm socks, get yourself a nice cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows, and cozy up next to the computer.
There are a lot of beautiful things that you can do to make a wintry wedding beautiful. Snow and ice can be dressed up and highlighted by brilliant whites, silver, and light blues. Or you can take your color palette from the holiday season and huddle in the cold with your honey in your gown and tux, covered in a dramatic red coat or shawl. Not to mention the cold is an excellent excuse for blazing fireplaces, boots, and chic fur.
Snow globes, sugar sculptures, pine, eucalyptus, or holly. Candles and lanterns, snowflake shapes, gingerbread with cream cheese frosting, and steaming cider and coffee. Ice skates and sleds; snowmen and pine cones. Or you could go all out and rent a horse and carriage and hold the reception in a ballroom filled with glittering Christmas trees and walls hung with tinsel. There are dozens of ways that a winter bride and her wedding planner can make her special day truly one of a kind.
