Walking in A Winter Wedding Wonderland
Nov 20th, 2008 by Ciara Daykin
A winter wedding is a fabulous thing. Many brides opt for a winter wedding over a summertime wedding for several reasons. The crisp, sparkly snow outside with a roaring fire inside with lots of candlelight makes for an uber romantic atmosphere. A winter wedding can also give a bride more options for vendors as typically wedding professionals deem the spring and summer months as the peak season and have more open dates in the winter.
A Romantic Wintertime Wedding
If you’re planning a winter wedding you might be wondering how you can add your own touch of unique to the festivities.
Given below are 5 great ways to make your winter wedding an enchanting one:
1. Let the outdoors come inside - So you want your wedding to be graceful and sophisticated. But you are worried that you cannot have such a wedding outdoors. Don’t worry. You can always get the outdoors inside. Imagine this: You are dressed in a beautiful flowing wedding dress, you walk down an aisle which is lined up with trees, and the trees are decorated with frosty branches sparkling with lovely blue lighting. If that sounds like your ideal wedding, then go ahead and get the outdoors inside on your wedding date and still retain the elegance in it.
2. Make a home-like surrounding for your guests - Nothing smells like home than a cup of hot chocolate in the winter. If you do agree with this statement then here’s an idea for your signature drink. Greet them with the Mexican Hot chocolate, a drink which has hot chili powder mixed with unsweetened chocolate and some cinnamon. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
3. Look chic in stylish winter outfits - Wintertime fashion is anyway very elegant and classy. How about making the best use of them at your winter wedding. Imagine yourself looking prettier than ever in a laced dress with the long sleeves and the lovely long gloves. Won’t that make your guests marvel at your beauty? You can of course top it up with a little cute fur hat or cap and big furry boots for picture time. And of course, men always look great in hats in winter.
4. Hearty winter foods - Winter is the time to serve some hearty dishes for your guests. And a winter wedding offers the perfect opportunity to treat your guests with great food. Summers are too hot. You have to pick your food with care. There are not many things that you can serve in a summertime wedding. But winters are the time to go all out. You have great choices available. A hot meal will be appreciated by everyone. To top it all you can ask the caterer to use some delicious and savory herbs in the food to give it some personal touch.
5. The Colors of Winter - Some people prefer going with white at their winter weddings. It always works great. But you may want to add a dash of color to your winter wedding. Winters are the time to try out some deep rich colors. You can choose sapphire blue. Greens and Purples are also perfect for a wedding in the winters. Merlots and deep rich scarlet red also look elegant. Of course you can also pick a combination of the colors of ivory, cream and white, which is always the favorite of brides.
I bet all these things are making you long for a winter wedding. You probably never thought that a wedding in wintertime could actually offer you so many choices and so much romance. Believe me, your guests are probably fed up of packing another summertime wedding to attend. They will thank you for inviting them to a relaxing, enjoyable and romantic winter wedding.
