The Winter Dream!!!

While working through a new project I thought, what about a cold weather wedding. I was married on a lovely but cold June day, a very long time ago. It was amazing. There was sun and then the rain came and came. Here are come Winter Wedding ideas for your next special event.

To help create your winter wedding check out our suggestions below or visit the Etsy wedding market place for winter wedding buys…

Winter Wonderland curated by i-do.com.au on Etsy

1. Winter Wedding Venues: Ski lodges, country estates, manor houses, vineyards, ski lodges with open fires, ballrooms at city hotels, intimate restaurants with private dining rooms.

2. Wedding Table Decor: Green foliage and tree stump place mats make great table decor for a winter wedding. Acorns and candles add the final touches to a perfect winter wedding.

3. Wedding Colours: Think about silver and white, black and white, white with golden hues or white with brights. For the brighter side of a winter wedding, turn to royalty and think rich reds and royal blues or lift the mood with hot pink or holly green with white. Shades of golds and pinks will warm your winter wedding mood or be the ice queen with silvers, greys and pale blues.

4. Wedding Flowers & Foliage: Winter lends itself to some great blooms and with the chill they tend to stay fresher longer! Winter flowers include Roses, Tulips, Snow Drops, French Lavender, Chrysanthemums, Orchids, various lilies including the Green Goddess Lily, Asiatic Lily, Holly, Gerberas, Star of Bethlehem, Queen Ann’s Lace, Eucalypts, evergreens such as pine trees, pine cones, pine needles. These types of flowers are also awesome to feature as wedding cake decorations as well! Dark colours such as navy, rose and deep green go hand in hand with winter weddings.

5. Wedding Dress: Oyster silk wedding dresses wrapped in gorgeous white fur stoles or silk fur lined capes, preferably faux fur of course. Warm your bridesmaids with luxurious velvet fur wraps or keep them warm in smart jackets or pretty cashmere cropped cardigans.

6. Wedding Invitations: Formal and traditional. Winter wedding invitations could feature acorns and fauna which accompany the season perfectly.

7. The Wedding Reception Venue: Pre dinner drinks in the cocktail lounge around the fire place followed by a three course meal in a grand old room fit for royalty.

8. Decorations & Centrepieces: A room of white and silver full of high centrepieces of white flowers, cool eucalypts and tall candles. For something more simple try placing tea lights on a bed of pine needles and pine cones, some left natural and some sprayed silver.

9. Bomboniere Ideas: High quality hot chocolate sachets, sweets, warming chocolate and marshmallows, bags of dried lavender, essential oils or snow globes with the bride and groom inside.

10. Pre Dinner Drinks: Winter cocktails, egg nogg, Bellini’s, Whiskey or Baileys on ice.

11. Winter Wedding Food: Pork belly, Wagyu skirt steak or eye fillet wrapped in procuitto served with lots of roast winter vegetables, washed down with vintage reds. Followed with puddings of any kind, hot self saucing chocolate puddings or souffles are always welcomed with a smile.
