A Winter-Inspired Wedding

The air is brisk, your wardrobe complete with sweaters, scarfs and hats galore and the holiday rush is here. Winter is in full swing and we’re in love. In love, not only with this joyous season, but with breathtaking winter weddings, perfected down to the very last detail. We couldn’t help but share some of our favorite inspirations to help you plan the perfect winter wedding!

Go Glam, It’s Okay!

Anytime there’s a reason to wear (real or faux!) fur, we say go for it! And we’d like to think your wedding day is reason enough. Picture this: sweeping curls, peach lips and porcelain-like makeup. We’re blushing. The faintest of colors pop like fire against the backdrop of a winter wedding. We love the timelessness and sophistication that a fur shrug brings to any affair, but there really is no more perfect setting than your winter setting.
An Inviting Table
// Michelle Edgemont Blog // Have you ever been to a dinner where the centerpiece is so large and extravagant that you can’t see the person across from you? Yeah, we’ve been there. While it’s one thing to have a gorgeous centerpiece, let’s not make table conversations more awkward than they have to be with a huge barrier between your guests. The best part of having good food and good company is you don’t have to overcompensate. And for the sake of a winter wedding, we love the idea of serving food family-style and having dishes preset on the table for all to pass around. With long tables adorned with a subtle runner and a few winter arrangements, your guests will feel right at home.
Nothing Says Winter Like Holiday Dishes
// dustjacket attire // Now we’re not suggesting canned cranberry sauce and your grandma’s over-cooked stuffing, but we do love the idea of a turkey dinner as inspiration. Our favorite holiday moments usually take place around the big family meal so why not do the same for your wedding? Trust your caterer to turn a traditional turkey dinner into a modern winter feast, worthy of nothing less than your picturesque wedding day.
Details, Details, Details
// 100 Layer Cake // It’s true that in the grand scheme of the wedding, guests may not remember napkins or silverware. But that’s only if there’s nothing to remember. When it comes to creating a winter wedding, the details DO matter. But don’t think you have to red and green plaid napkins that scream, “I’m a holiday item”; stick to an elegant winter theme. Embellish each place setting with a simple ribbon or the chair backs with a feather and fresh sprigs or even mistletoe… custom details are what make your wedding so personal. And your guests WILL remember the details that represent you and your style.
A Twist To The Traditional Bar
// Bridal Musings // Interactive bars will never go out of style… but when the weather is freezing, perhaps an iced cocktail isn’t necessarily the drink of choice. We’re all for some hot tea (spiked, please). And it’s not every day you can get away with serving warm cocktails, so take advantage of this time of year and let guests get involved. No one will want to leave your warm winter soiree with a hot toddy in hand!
Have Fun! It’s Your Wedding Day
// Bridal Musings // And don’t forget to have fun with your photographer. Whether catching snowflakes, throwing on furry boots with your wedding gown or bundling up with blankets, embrace the cold weather – And let it be captured through the lens of a camera. The wedding day is going to fly by, so light-hearted moments with you and your partner are the moments that will help keep you calm. Winter. It’s a busy time of year, a rushed time of year and a giving time of year, but quite possibly the perfect time of year for a wedding. Be inspired and Happy Holidays!
