Invitations

The first thing to consider when planning a perfect wedding is, of course, the invitations. A winter wedding with all its aspects and details could be considered a ball or a gala night. According to this, it is important for the invitations to be created in a formal and grandiose manner. It is always a good idea to opt for some thick paper in beige or white colors with red, gold or even some nice shade of green for details, such as font or framework. Hand calligraphy is something that can also contribute in creating a more formal and elegant invitation design.

Colors

When it comes to choosing the right colors for this kind of event, it is important to pick the colors wisely. The perfect combination of colors can greatly affect the whole wedding setting, the venue and the complete surrounding. The most appropriate choices for winter weddings are definitely different shades of white, chocolate brown and some darker shades of green. Maroon is one of the colors that can tremendously provide a nice touch. For a more magical touch, it is always a good idea to opt for sparkly silver or gold details.

Lighting

Keeping in mind that it is in fact a winter wedding and that days are much shorter in this season, some quality lighting should be a must-have. There is no point in investing in the complete venue or decorations if the lighting is not going to be adequate. In order to light up the whole room but still manage to keep the whole magical wonderland feeling, it is a nice touch to use candles. Candles can always enrich the place and still provide the romantic and warm feeling. Some candle chandeliers are also a good option.

Venue

One of the most important things is choosing the right venue, especially when it comes to organizing a winter wedding.  An amazing space can greatly contribute to the complete atmosphere of this special day. A good venue, before anything, should be comfortable, cozy and should exude with warmness and energy. It is always a nice idea to choose a space with dark hardwood floors and timber details that will surely give out a pleasant feel to the room. Another thing that will certainly contribute to creating a magical setting is if the venue has a stone fireplace. Choose something spacious and grandiose so it would be fit for a real-life ball.

Centerpiece and Decorations

A good wedding venue should always be well decorated. Of course a good decorated place isn’t worth anything without an ideal centerpiece. This can be accomplished quite simply and without much effort. A beautiful centerpiece can be made from a combination of colorful pinecones, candles, flowers and even some small stumps and logs. It adds to the wonderland setting and is quite easy to set up. When it comes to decorating the complete venue, the best way is to go for a minimalistic design. Let the white color prevail (flowers, tablecloths, chair slipcovers and candles) and top with some gold or silver cutlery and tableware accompanied with some maroon colored pinecones and ribbons.

Dress

Dress is probably the most important thing when it comes to the wedding, at least according to the bride. Of course there is no default wedding dress that will suit every bride. The choice of the gown depends solely on personal preference. Will it be a mermaid style or perhaps a princess gown; will it have silver embroidery or maybe a fur shawl on top? Whatever the choice is, it is certain that the bride will be a perfect snow queen. It is a good idea to make some contrast when it comes to bridesmaid dresses and even flower girl dresses. It is a good idea that the dresses they are wearing would match the surrounding details of the venue.

Food and Drinks

A question that concerns every bride to be. What to serve to my guests? Well, there are certain foods that are suitable for winter periods. Make sure to have a fine selection of soups to keep the guests warm. Always keep in mind to have more dishes so that everybody can find something to their liking. When it comes to drinks, beside the cocktails and usual beverages that are served at weddings, keep your guests in a good mood with punch, hot chocolate or warm apple cider. Of course, don’t forget the treats. Some truffles, roasted chestnuts and small portions of candies are always a nice touch. And how can we forget the most important thing – the cake of course. Nothing says grandiose more than an amazing layered cake. To achieve that wonderland look add some sparkle and maroon ribbons to match the decorations. It is a nice idea to add some chocolate pinecones and even some redcurrants.

Organizing a complete wedding is never easy, as there are a lot of factors to consider. But the most important thing when it comes to that special day is not all the details or the venue, it is the fact that you are spending that day with the people you cherish the most. Maintaining a positive attitude will surely help with making the most memorable day of your life come true.
