If you’ve decided to get married in the winter months, you may be thinking of having a winter wonderland-themed wedding. After all, it is the perfect time of year, and the theme basically creates itself. Working with your wedding planner, there are a couple of things that you can do to create the perfect night.
While blue and white may be the color scheme you traditionally think of for winter wonderland, you don’t have to stick with those colors. Emerald green, burgundy, rose gold, and purple are all great colors that will work well with your winter wonderland theme. If you are feeling a little less traditional, you could even go with plaid for your wedding colors. Snow is often one of the prevailing backdrops or decorations for your wedding and reception, so any color scheme that you like that pairs well with white will work. You can also choose your color scheme based on the winter month you get married. Red and green are perfect for December, while gold is great for January.
Just because it is cold outside and your wedding and wedding reception will need to be inside for the majority of the event doesn’t mean you won’t find the venue of your dreams. Start by meeting with your wedding planner and figuring out what matters the most to you for your venue. If you want to be able to see the beautiful snowy landscapes, you can look for a venue that has large windows. If you want to have a firepit, look for a place that has some outdoor patio space you can rent as well. Your venue should have enough room to support the kind of decor you want and not feel overcrowded. Castle-themed venues are a very popular choice for winter weddings.
The little details are part of what makes your winter wonderland theme really take off, so make sure you pay attention to these things. It can be as simple as including winter flowers in your bouquet, having a winter-themed cake topper, and having cold-weather refreshments. Hot chocolate bars are incredibly popular and make for fun creations for your guests. Trees make up a great way to keep the winter wonderland theme going, so make sure you include them in your decor ideas. Your wedding planner can help you keep track of everything you want, and make sure you don’t go overboard or forget the important things.
Your wedding is an exciting time and having a theme you love is important to creating good memories. Make sure to pay attention to the details that will make the day perfect. Just make sure you don’t lose sight of the fact that this is about you and your partner starting your life together.
