Wedding Style: Winter Weddings

Have you always dreamt of a winter wedding? From roaring fires to snowflake details and a sleigh ride getaway, we have all the details you need to throw a romantic winter wedding.

The Decor

• For a holiday-theme fete? Place potted evergreens around your space and decorate them with ornaments. Affix mini jingle-bell wreaths to every doorknob.
• We love the idea of dressing a winter wedding like a social scene from Old Hollywood: Layer on the rhinestones, hang hundreds of pretty round white paper lanterns from the ceiling, and use old black-and-white photos as table numbers.

The Invitations

• Create white on white layers: a white card with an off-white border wrapped in a pearly-white silk dupioni wrap.
• Place your wedding programs in fur-trimmed silk pockets.
• Use silver accents to make any color scheme more winter-y.

The Flowers

• Carry pomanders of white stephanotis (these four-pointed, starlike flowers remind us of snowflakes).
• Accent your bouquet with tiny crystals.
• Love the white on white idea? Add texture to your white rose and calla lily bouquet with a handful of wintry white feathers.

The Menu

• Warm guests up with a creamy, winter-y mixed drink made with Kahlua.
• Serve a colorful seasonal puree made of butternut squash or purple potatoes.
• Dish up a hearty chili in individual-sized clay ramekins.
• Pass around a mini-dessert course of a family sugar-cookie recipe before you serve the cake.
