What does winter conjure up for you? Hot chocolate, a roaring fire, snow? Winter time lends magic to the air! Why not turn your romantic ideas of winter into the perfect, enchanting winter wedding for you?
Choosing the right colors makes the whole wedding come together. Traditional colors are reds and greens combined with ivory and gold. Mix and match them together for your favorite effect, such as red/white with highlights of green or gold. For a more modern and winter wonderland look, use silver and white, or silver and royal or light blue. Silver and white are striking combinations, as well.
Winter weddings dresses are exceptions to the popular strapless dresses. Opt for warmer, luxurious dresses. Look for a high-low hem (slightly shorter in front and long in the back). Add faux fur added to the hem, sleeves, and neckline. Or add a fur wrap for an elegant (and warm!) look. Long sleeves are best, while bell sleeves are a romantic alternative. Do not be afraid to add a splash of color to your dress, such as a ribbon around your waist or wearing a richly colored cape. If you want to make a statement, wear a red, velvet dress. For a snowy effect, add beads and sequins onto your dress.
The perfect accessory for your dress is long, silk gloves or even short, fur-trimmed gloves. Not only do they look elegant, they help to keep you warm! Or carry a fur muff instead of a bouquet. If you want a bouquet, carry a crystal one, especially for a snow wedding.
Your bridesmaids’ dresses should be long. Add a shrug or jacket to strapless styles. Their dress colors depend on your theme colors. Greens and reds are striking with gold accent ribbons. Light or navy blues are complimented with silver. Instead of flowers, have them carry candles, or if you are carrying a muff, they could carry one, too.
Style hair with flowers from your bouquet. Use holly, ivy, or baby’s breath and tiny berries to add a festivity or delicacy. A sparkly tiara works with silver colors. Do you have long hair? For a soft look, leave your hair down in loose curls.
The groom can wear a cummerbund matching the bridesmaids’ dresses. Or, if you are wearing a colored wrap, match the cummerbund with your wrap. If the groom and groomsmen wear vests, match them to the bridesmaids’ dress colors. A white tuxedo looks striking for winter occasions, especially with the blue/silver colors.
Red roses, while beautiful, are not the only perfect wedding flowers to choose. More inexpensively, use holly and berries. These work well together with red and green colors. Ivy is a graceful addition. Add pinecones to bouquets, along with red and ivory poinsettias. Baby’s breath adds a spray of snowy white.
