If you decide to have a winter wedding theme in a cold and snowy land than here is some advise for you.
A formal wedding usually the option for the winter, since the season lends itself to luxurious fabrics and will allow you to wear a heavier gown. Veer away from the typical and choose a gown trimmed at the collar and cuffs with a rich looking faux fur or choose a heavy, renaissance style gown with a beautiful velvet bodice and brocade skirt. If you are looking for something less traditional, consider having your gown embroidered in sparkling silver.
Look again at heavier, richer fabrics when considering bridesmaid gowns. A deep, black velvet makes not only the perfect choice but also a beautiful backdrop for a bouquet of winter white flowers adorned with crystals and silver beads. You could also go with an all white theme for your winter wedding, adding touches of silver and crystals on the bridesmaid gowns, then choosing a traditional red rose as the focal point of their bouquets. A traditional black tuxedo compliments the look, and you can add silver vests or cummerbunds. For a contemporary look, dress your groomsmen in black with a black shirt and a rich silk silver tie.
Your winter wedding décor should highlight the color and the sparkle of the season. For something different in centerpieces, choose a multi-faceted cut crystal vase filled with fluffy white plumes and bare branches sprayed in a glistening silver paint. Dangle hanging crystals from the branches, and generously sprinkle crystals on the table covers. Keep with the winter white theme and use white linens on the tables, or use white linens on the table and a luxurious silver overlay on top to add the sparkle of winter to your look.
Decorate where you can with white twinkle lights, which add an air of fantasy to any décor. For a winter wonderland, though, they are almost a must have item. If your budget allows, bring in large clusters of branches, spray painted in white and generously glittered or spray painted silver. Group the branches in large pots scattered throughout your reception site, and from the branches, hang large crystal pendants. When the branches are decorated with the white twinkle lights, the crystals will pick up the light and add a beautiful glow to your room.
If you are going with an opulent, elegant affair, a sit down dinner is probably the best way to go, and you should consider top of the line entrees, like filet mignon, broiled lobster tails, or roast leg of lamb. For a meal that is lighter on your budget, dress up less expensive items like London broil with a delicious hunter sauce or Cornish game hens with a sweet and succulent apricot glaze. Appetizers should feature mostly hot items, since guests will be coming in from the cold winter evening to attend your event, but a chilled seafood bar is always a welcome site no matter what the season.
Your wedding cake could be a beautiful winter white confection, adorned with touches of the silver and dripping with crystal icicles. You could do your cake – or a grooms’ cake – in the
