As previously promised, here is the second half to my series on cool and unique winter wedding ideas. If you missed out on part one, then just check it out right here, Winter Wedding Ideas Part 1. While winter isn’t a hugely popular time to get married, many couples still choose this colder season for their weddings. The colder season offers more dramatic colors, and winter weddings can be just as romantic and elegant as weddings done in the spring and summer months. But, back to the subject. In my previous article, I only covered some winter wedding ideas for weddings in the areas of some great winter colors to use in your wedding, and some great winter wedding centerpieces. Now we all know that so much more goes into wedding planning than just colors and centerpieces, so here are some more great winter wedding ideas that you can use when planning your big event.
Winter Wedding Ideas – Church Decorations
My last article has a lot of great ideas for winter wedding church decorations, but I’ll go ahead and recap it here to make it easier. A friend of mine got married a few years ago and had a winter wonderland wedding, complete with snowmen, reindeer, and lots and lots of fake snow. Use the white sheets for covering large areas on the platform, and then cover with white confetti to give off a sparkle like snow, and (with the church’s permission), spray the fake snow into the windows to help complete the look. She also used plain white Christmas lights around the church to give off a romantic glow and sparkle, and added some great characters to her winter wonderland scene, such as the snowman and reindeer. Then, she dressed up her flower girls as sugar plum fairies, and it turned out really beautiful.
Winter Wedding Ideas – Wedding Favors
Winter wedding ideas for wedding favors can be endless, as there are many things that go along with the winter season. You could pass out hot chocolate and spiced cider packets in a mug for your guests to enjoy when you get home, or you can make the mixes yourself, I have the recipes under my wedding favors category, and here are the links : Make Your Own Hot Chocolate Wedding Favors and Make Your Own Apple Cider Wedding Favors. Other great winter wedding favors can include scarves, hats or gloves (though this may get a bit pricey), or even other little edible treats such as gingerbread men (see my article on Gingerbread Men Wedding Favors), or other cookie treats. I’ve even seen couples pass out large jingle bells for the couple to ring on their way out the door, with a small tag that reads, “Lets you and me make beautiful music together!” Get creative with this and have some fun.
Winter is really a fun season for couples to get married. There are lots of fun ideas, and with the cold weather, you can create a really cozy feel to your wedding, making it more romantic. Happy wedding planning.
