WINTER THEME WEDDING
By Nily Glaser
©All rights reserved, 2007
Are you planning a winter theme wedding?
Many Couples planning winter theme weddings have requested information and A-wedding Day is up fo the challenge. Most need creative ideas.
So, without much ado, lets see how to plan a dream winter wedding.
When you close your eyes and picture winter, you associate it with
sparkling, crisp snow that is so white it sometimes looks bluish. I
bet that even if you live in an area that does not experience real
winter this word conjures the snow scene in your mind.
WINTER WEDDING IDEAS
ATTIRE for BRIDE GROOM and WEDDING PARTY
Winter is best represented by white, silver, platinum and light blue.
These are the perfect color choice for a winter theme wedding. You
can incorporate these colors in the bride, groom and wedding
attendants attire. White for the bride and groom, light blue and / or
silver for the attendants. However, you have other options too. You
may have the bridesmaids dresses made of fabric with snow flakes or
stars motif that may even accented with white fur like fabric.
Since you are planning gifts for your bridesmaids and flower girls,
present them with Swarovski crystal on silver with or without pearls,
or pearl jewelry on silver such as that offered in our discount mall.
Tiaras should also be studded with swarovski crystals and or pearls on silver.
The Swarovski jewelry glitsens like snow in the sun while pearls offer the prism.
What a wonderful yet inexpensive way to have your bridal party match the
winter theme of your wedding.
CHOOSE WINTER THEME INVITATIONS AND STATIONERY.
Whether holiday, or season related,
there are many winter scene stationery items and invitations available
to choose from, including do it yourself - print your own stationery.
WINTER WEDDING RECEPTION:
Look for a reception hall that has a fireplace.
If lighting a real fire is not permitted, use make-believe logs that look like
real lit fireplace. Many stores carry them. You may also check with your local
theater for props.
Use silver serving pieces, glass or crystal drinkwear and winter white dishes.
Decorate with silver, white, platinum and light blue.
Use one of the colors or coordinate these colors for your table cloths
and napkins, garlands, streamers, icicles, tinsel, balloons, ribbons,
flowers with silver ribbons in silver vases, flickering light strings,
snow flakes or stars etc... You may wish to spray your decorations with
sparkle or fake snow. White and blue tulle will also help create a winter
atmosphere.
If you can afford it, hire an ice sculptor. If not, do it yourself, make your own
ice sculpture with kits available at A-wedding day. For information go to
http://www.2.a-weddingday.com/weddingcrafts/makeyourownicecarvings.html
Ice sculptures will be a magnificent addition.
If your wedding reception venue permits it, be sure to use candles to depict
warmth.
Either or both, ice sculpture and candles make very elegant centerpieces.
IDEAS FOR WINTER WEDDING CENTERPIECES:
For added effect, place your centerpieces on a mirror.
White or white and light blue flowers in a silver or crystal vase
An ice sculpture surrounded by a wreath of white or white and light blue flowers
adorned with silver ribbon, by a chain of flickering lights or by 4 snow
globes.
A candle (in a hurricane glass) surrounded by a wreath of white or
white and light blue flowers adorned with silver ribbon or by 4 snow
globes.
Little standing dolls and white styrofoam balls as children playing
with snow balls.
Snow men/women
Glass snow flakes,
Silver foil covered hershey kisses,
Pails, crystal or glass bowl filled with clear marbles, downy feathers fiberfill or
cotton ball sprayed with glitter
Winter motif confetti.
WINTER WEDDING FAVOR IDEAS:
Gifts of crystal, silver, candles, soaps, silver or crystal picture frames / place card holders. Decorate the wedding favors with white tulle, white-light blue or silver ribbons,
silver bells, snow flakes white flowers etc...
CEREMONY:
Use white, silver, platinum and/or light blue, pew bows, flower
arrangements where white and light blue are dominant and are tied
with silver ribbon. Place your unity candles in silver candle holders
which you may choose to decorate with white flowers, or leave the
silver to glisten. Spray glitter on the petals in the flowergirl's
basket.
WINTER THEME WEDDING CAKE:
Place a layer of cotton balls or tulle over coiled flickering white
bulbs all around the wedding cake so it looks as if your cake is
sitting on snow.
How about a cake decorated as a winter village or a snow scene?
Today, many bakers can actually "print" a picture on the cake using
edible food coloring.
or you may have your cake look like a star or decorated with snow
flakes.
BRIDAL ACCESSORIES:
Choose a collection of matching accessories. Most collection will
include most of the accessories for your ceremony and reception. (A
unity candle set, guest book, pen, ring pillow, toasting flutes, cake
serving set, and garter.)
You may choose a collection that is adorned with white flowers, such as gerbera daisies, roses, calla lilies,
carnations, gardenias, magnolias, alstromeria and snowball mums.
You may choose winter theme wedding accessories that are adorned with white ribbons, pearls, Swarovski Crystals or rhinestones, Angels, holiday motifs.
If you prefer non-white accessories, silver/platinum are available.
WINTER FOODS INCLUDE:
Hot chocolate, hot cider, mulled wine, fondue, hot soup, warm bread
or rolls snowman/woman, star and/or snow flake shaped sugar cookies.
