Useful Tips for a Beautiful Winter Wedding

While a lot of brides dream of having a fairytale summer wedding, winter weddings can be just as magical. A wedding in winter can be all about glamour and drama but that also requires a perfect combination of the right elements. Let’s take a look at some tips to help you plan a beautiful winter wedding:

• Venue – When choosing a venue for your winter wedding, you must focus on keeping your guests warm. Think intimate in case of small ceremonies. You could go for inns with fireplaces or old country churches. In case of a larger affair, it would be a good idea to look for historic mansions or something similar.
  
  If snow is a guarantee on your wedding day, you could opt for a room with a large picture window. This would give a breathtaking view of the snow outside and create a perfect winter wedding venue.
  
  
• Attire – One of the best parts about a winter wedding is it is ideal for an elegant, old Hollywood look. Think a trailing silk dress and a white faux fur wrap to keep you warm. If you intend to get your wedding photos taken outside, avoid going for sleeveless or strapless dresses. You could opt for shrugs and wraps or capes and dramatic cloaks to keep warm.
  
  
• Flowers – You could either opt for the elegant white and silver combination or add some warmth to your wedding with deep reds and rich greens. In case of silvers, you have options like the silver-dollar eucalyptus, baby blue eucalyptus, and dusty miller.
  
  White flowers like roses, lilies, tulips, stephanotis, and football mums are good choices for winter. If you’re looking for brighter options, try red roses and pine leaves. You could add some volume to the bouquet using holly or ornamental berries, which are inexpensive choices.
  
  
• Décor – You could go for simple table decors such as white poinsettias, which are also inexpensive. Add some warmth and magic to the whole look of the venue by stringing small white lights around archways and doorways. Make use of seasonal food items and decors such as gingerbread houses and cranberries.
