You might not want to go this extreme with a winter wedding, but you also might not want to wait until spring or summer to tie the knot. There are a lot of cool things (pun TOTALLY intended) that you can do for a winter wedding that you can’t for a wedding in warmer months, so go for it!
Two Words: Snow Globes
You can have snow globes as a part of your centerpiece decorations, you can have snow globes as wedding favors, or you can have really nice, high-end snow globes as your attendant gifts. Everybody loves a nice snow globe!
Excuse to Go Formal
Since you know the reception will be indoors, why not make your wedding a black tie affair? You don’t have to spend a fortune on the food and drink, but it gives everyone a great excuse to don their finery and look their absolute best. Plus, how gorgeous will your photos be?
Food and Drink
A summer reception means that extra sweet, extra warm, and extra decadent is a little over-the-top. Use this winter wedding as an excuse to break out the bisque, serve the cheesecake, and serve up some belly-warming holiday spirits. Two great ones to try? How about eggnog? A classic holiday drink, it’s got a creamy, nutmeggy taste and if you put spiced rum or bourbon in it you’ll have your guests feeling all warm and cozy. Another great? How about a Peppermint Martini with a candy cane rim? Garnish with a mini-candy cane and you’ll have tasty AND pretty cocktails.
Have a wintertime wedding to rival any fairy tale. And make sure you send us some pictures!
