Save the Dress

If your wedding is planned for winter this year you’re in luck since there are some awesome trends that are reserved strictly for winter brides. The hottest trend right now for winter is to use less color and stick with winter tones of whites, silver, ice blue, and gold. Think along the lines of an ice fairy and you’ll get the idea. And since all fairies need glitter, don’t forget yours in the form of crystals or other jeweled adornments for gowns, hair, and flowers. And for goodness sake don’t forget the twinkling lights for table settings or aisle runners. If you’re worried that winter may bring on a bit of a chill, you’re also in luck there since the good news for winter brides is that sleeves are right on point this year and fur (or faux fur) trim is hot-hot-hot. Bouquets should be a winter wonderland ass well and can include white hydrangeas and sensually-soft ranunculuses as a few ideas since they look absolutely stunning when paired together. And don’t forget to wrap the stems in crystal-embellished ribbon for added sparkle to an otherwise understated yet sophisticated bouquet. The reception is no place to skimp in your theme since you can serve winter delights such as hot white chocolate (spiked with peppermint liqueur for the adult crowd) and cocktails in sugar-rimmed glasses. But before we go we need to remind you that any theme wedding starts with the invitation so make sure your winter theme gets represented early on with sparkles and glitter and snow white paper. You’re lucky to have such a perfectly understated backdrop as winter for your wedding theme, so make good use of it and enjoy your day to its fullest.
