Winter is a beautiful season around which to plan a wedding. Amidst the glistening, soft-falling snow, glowing candlelight and reflections of silver and gold, it is a romantic and enchanting atmosphere that can make for an unforgettable day warmed by family and friends - no matter what the temperature is outside.
There are many benefits for couples who choose to have a winter wedding including substantial savings on wedding essentials and avoidance of long line ups for services. Wedding venues are also more readily available (aside from Christmas and Valentines) and it's much easier to plan on short notice, during the less busier months for wedding vendors.
Other bonuses include flowers that don't wilt in the heat, wedding cakes that don't sag, and a bride that is not melting. There is also a better chance that more of your invited guests will not be on holidays and therefore able to attend your wedding.
For a winter wonderland setting, choose a historical manor with glamorous chandeliers, sparkling lights, dark panelling and a fireplace to create a cozy ambience. For wedding accessories, decorations, and favors, winter weddings offer a host of snowflake themed items in various shades of blue, white and silver.
A winter bride can wear a white satin gown with cap sleeves or longer, mesh sleeves. Brides can even choose a strapless gown and wear a cozy fur wrap to keep the bride warm as she enters and exits her wedding. Decorate your reception with glittering snowflake accents on your guest book, candles and other accessories. Sparkling crystal jewelry, crystal bouquet jewelry accents, and crystal table decorations also add to this magical winter wonder theme.
