Winter weddings offer a break from the expected and can bring unparalleled elegance to your celebration. While everyone seems to want a spring or summertime wedding, winter brings with it a number of design and décor options that you might not have thought of otherwise. The following are five of the top design and decor reasons you should consider planning a winter wedding:
1. Winter Whites
White is a primary wedding color, and the winter season is characterized by brilliant shades of winter white. The bride’s dress is traditionally white, and just about any flower type can look amazing in this pristine hue. But while the all-white look can work amazingly well as a main décor motif, white is also extremely chic as an accent color.
2. Subtle Ivories and Greys
A winter wedding setting can also be exquisitely accented with subtle tones that are not too far removed from white, like ivory and light grey. Just about any flower type will accent this color palette, from deep colored roses to pastel or white flowers with subtle, detailed petal structures. Orchids, tulips, carnations and spray roses can also work well for winter weddings.
3. Exquisite Accent Flowers
It’s easy to accent winter bouquets and centerpieces with flowers that are complementary to the season. Consider using white hydrangea, dusty miller, ranunculuses, anemones, silver brunia and pastel touches to create the perfect accents and additions to take their breath away.
4. Holiday Touches
A winter wedding offers the opportunity for a Christmas or other holiday season tie-in. Subtle touches of red and evergreen can serve as an ideal accent for a grey or ivory theme. Consider working in other holiday elements like holly leaves, mistletoe, pinecones and hints of evergreen into the décor. These flourishes can bring a delightful spirit to your winter wedding nuptials.
5. Anything Goes
While white and shades of red and green traditionally usher in the holiday season, the truth is that any color can beautifully accent grey and ivory. From deep regal violet hues to warm tones, it’s up to you. Get the perfect look for your taste and style with flower and décor choices that create the ideal backdrop for your special day.
