When you think of a holiday wedding, do you picture a winter wonderland themed fete with snowflakes, Christmas trees and red and green everything? Think again. If you’ve always dreamed of a December wedding, don’t be afraid of taking it to the next level. Winterize your wedding in perfect taste with a few of these fun and festive ideas.
4 Unexpected Winter Wedding Ideas:
Jewel Tones:
Ditch the expected bright red and green and opt for decadent and rich jewel tones like garnet, emerald, or even magenta. These gorgeous colors are luxurious and elegant, and pair beautifully with shades of gold and cream.
Natural fabrics like wool, hemp and cashmere in shades of beige and cream are both elegant and approachable. Use these on your tableware or lounge areas to bring a tactile element into your reception area
Light the Way:
Glowing candlelight is ambient and warm, but if you are more interested in a frosted feeling, request icy blue lighting with silver branches draped in clear crystal to deck out your holiday wedding.
Bring the Outdoors In:
Miniature rosemary bushes make adorable holiday wedding centerpieces – just as a single sprig would be lovely at each place setting. Incorporate natural elements like pine, pinecones, rosemary, or even pomegranates into your arrangements and add an unexpected scent of the season to your wedding.
