3 Non-Cliché Tips For A Cozy Winter Wedding

Brides getting married in the winter - especially here in the Midwest - are faced with certain elements that are out of their control such as frigid weather and unpredictable snowfall. Even with these uncertainties though, winter weddings are often more romantic and intimate compared to their summer wedding counterparts. Winter brides walk a fine line however, as it can be tough to capture the spirit of the holiday season without drowning guests in candy canes and ice sculptures. Here is a list of 3 tips to ensure your wedding is tasteful and cozy.

Use A Basic Color Pallet Of Silver and White

Have you thought about crystal accents in your flower arrangements or as the backdrop to your head table? What about crisp white table clothes with silver napkins and place settings? The Knot suggests a white velvet runner with satin trim. These details give the appearance of a winter wonderland without being so obvious.

Offer A Unique Festive Signature Drink

Serving a signature drink is a great way to make your wedding stand out. Get creative, and come up with a unique name for your drink. Think about using classic winter time ingredients with a twist like white hot chocolate, marshmallow flavored Vodka or spiced eggnog. If you’re serving martinis, perhaps add a candy cane straw or dip the glass in peppermint pieces instead of sugar or salt.

Choose A Two-Toned Wedding Gown With Tulle Accents

Winter brides can certainly get away with the strapless styles that summer brides wear, but lately, Volle’s Bridal & Boutique has seen cold-weather brides choose two-tone gowns with tulle accents. The tulle can serve as a sophisticated, light-weight shall that won’t overwhelm the wedding gown.
