Winter Wedding Ideas and Trends
More and more couples are opting to marry during what used to be the off-season for nuptials; Weddings aren’t just spring and summer affairs anymore. Between the romantic ambience of a snowy landscape, the relative lack of competition for vendors and sites. There’s so much to love about chilly weather nuptials.
You shouldn’t feel bound to a palette of winter whites, greens and reds that traditionally surround the holiday season. Why not choose bold, bright colors and create a tropical wonderland of mango orange, key lime green or pineapple yellow? It sounds counter-intuitive, but it can actually create a fun, unexpected setting for your guests.
There are plenty of ways to make your reception an inviting space. With the sun setting early, candles will create a romantic glow right from the start of your party. To add ambience, consider bringing in lush, soft textures. Think: velvet ribbon tied around each napkin or chenille pillows and throws in a lounge area.
So, whether you’re having a winter wedding or not, you can still appreciate some of the hottest trends that are about to be everywhere this season.
Between cakes, flowers, dresses and decorations, we’ve covered it all in preparation for the cold-weather celebrations to come. Check out our list of the best winter wedding ideas, trends and inspiration, below.
