Winter is
often considered an off-season for weddings. From unpredictable snowfall to
setting a date during the holiday season, the qualities of winter that can make
for a great wedding are often overlooked. Just because it might be cold
outside, doesn’t mean your wedding can’t be warm and romantic. I believe you
can make your winter wedding warm, cozy and inviting for guests using these
three simple tips.
Winter
Color Schemes
Incorporating the right color into
your wedding is a great way to make your guests feel warm and welcome. The
colors of your wedding can be used in the small details of floral arrangements,
or even in more grand and obvious ways, like the wedding party attire. Navy and
Marsala, for example, is a great color combination for a winter wedding.
Marsala is warm and elegant, and using this color as the foundation of your
bridesmaid dresses will make your bridesmaids stand out against snowy scenery
in wedding photos. Let these marsala-toned dresses from
Weddington Way inspire you! If you’re looking for a stylish tuxedo rental for
your groomsmen, I recommend the color navy. Navy is just as timeless and
classic as a black tuxedo and compliments Marsala effortlessly. The Black Tux
is a top pick among groomsmen for finding
quality tux rentals online in a variety of colors.
Warm
Cocktails
Equip your guests with mugs and
surprise them with fun and delicious cocktails to warm them up. Mulled wine,
Irish coffees and hot toddies are crowd favorites when it comes to keeping
your wedding fun and guests engaged. I recommend a hot chocolate bar for guests to
make their own beverages as they mingle together. Be creative with candy and
nut toppings and offer different liquors for guests to give their drinks a
sweet and spiked twist.
Wedding
Venue
Choosing the right venue is crucial
for a winter wedding. The way your decor is displayed and flows together really
depends on the venue that you choose. You can choose to keep the theme of your
wedding rustic and charming by holding your wedding in a ski lodge tucked
within the mountains. Or if you would like to keep things more elegant and
sophisticated, hold your wedding at a polished and dignified stone castle. Cozy
fireplaces and beautifully arranged wedding
candle decor will set an ambiance to the venue’s
atmosphere. Provide small seating areas for guests to gather for intimate
conversation or choose a venue with large windows to admire the snow-covered
scenery outside.
Winter can be one of the most
beautiful seasons to get married in. Choosing the right colors, reception
options, and venue are a few of the ways you can make your wedding warm and
inviting. Use the season’s beautiful and unique traits to make your special day
one of a kind. What would you do to bring a feeling of warmth to your winter
wedding?
