Winter is typically a slower season for weddings, especially in this Northeast area where snowstorms could definitely put a damper on “getting to the venue on time.”

However, for those adventurous to weather any possible storm, winter can actually be a beautiful season to get married and there are many possibilities to create a warm and romantic ambiance inside while it’s frosty outside.  While snowflakes and pinecones are the typical winter wedding motifs, if you think outside the box, there are many other possibilities

Let’s start with colors. White and silver with crystal accents will most certainly add a touch of elegance to any ceremony. You can line the aisle with white glowing candles that sit in crystal candlesticks,  have a white velvet aisle runner trimmed with blue satin ribbons or tiny white satin roses, or you can decorate the alter with a crystal curtain backdrop for a beautiful setting .

For flowers, white hydrangeas or orchids make for a lovely winter bloom. And for some extra pizzaz, you can add a bit of sparkle to your bouquet by wrapping the stems in silver ribbon embellished with crystal.

For those brides not wearing a veil, consider sparkly silver hair ornaments with crystal. If you’re having a flower girl walk down the aisle, why not have her toss tiny cut out snowflakes rather than the typical flowers.

If you’re creative, the possibilities are endless to create a winter wonderland themed wedding ceremony.
