Winter Theme Wedding tips :Spring continues to be the most popular time of year to host wedding nuptials. Some bold and daring couples however have braved the uncertain weather implications of a winter wedding. These couples have received in return savings on wedding essentials and avoidance of the long line-ups for services.
Aside from wedding venues being more readily available (Christmas and Valentine dates not withstanding), other benefits to winter weddings include a more luxurious palette of colours and fabrics to choose from such as varying shades of red, royal blue, deep purple and hunter green. Other benefits include the ability to plan on short notice, without being told time and time again that your vendor, disc jockey, photographer or caterer of choice is booked solid.
Other bonuses include flowers that don't wilt in the heat (as long as you take care not to let them freeze in the cold), cakes that don't sag, and a bride that is not melting. There is a better chance that more of your invited guests will not be on holidays and therefore able to attend your wedding. Add to that the special quality that comes across in photographs.
A rustic mountain lodge with roaring fireplaces, sleigh rides, and a host of other winter-loving amenities add to the enchanting cozy ambience. For that winter wonderland effect, choose a grand ballroom with draped fabric walls filled with white, silver and crystal twinkling lights.
For wedding accessories, decorations, and favors, winter weddings offer a host of snowflake themed items in various shades of blue, white and silver. Tiny candy holding mittens for favors, snowflake embossed napkins or stationary, or faux ice-sculptured cake toppers, all add to a fantasy themed setting.
