Winter Wedding
Decor
In the snowy season, give your wedding a warm, cozy appeal.
The key to creating a romantic winter wedding is choosing dcor
that appeals to the senses. Rich amethyst, emerald green or sapphire
blue dresses, a cinnamon-scented candle flickering light through
a brass sconce and heavy velvet drapes are just the touches that
will knock the chill out of the coldest of days.
"Begin with rich jewel tones, like emerald or burgundy, for your
accent pieces. Then, add a little sparkle with small white (or tinted)
lights around any trees and railings," UWD senior bridal consultant
Lynzie Hays suggests.
Next, enhance the warm glow of the room by using candles wherever
you can (altars, tables, aisles). For arrangements and small touches,
Hays recommends plenty of greenery and fragrant flowers, such as
amaryllis, red roses or white narcissus. Finally, top it all off
with a stylish fruit-bowl centerpiece. "Cranberries, pears, apples,
pomegranates and figs are nice this time of year," Hays says.
Favors
"At the end of the evening," ModernBride.com bridal consultant Sandie
Steffes advises, "send your guests home with some warm and toasty
favors they can enjoy while kicking back in front of the fire." She
suggests going for sense-appeal with winners like:
- Cedar packets or spicy sachets
- Spiced teas
- Cranberry chutney
- Potpourri
- Gingerbreads
- Hot cocoa mugs
- Snow globes
- Sleigh bells
- Snowflake cookies
