Simple Winter Wedding Decorations

Winter wedding decorations begin with beautiful winter colors.
White, silver, platinum and light blue are often thought of as the perfect color choices for a winter wedding theme.
Colors can be incorporated into every aspect of your wedding begining with your save-the-date cards, invitations, flowers, centerpieces, attendants and bride and grooms attire.

A unique way to introduce the winter theme into your wedding is by way of fabric. Find fabric that has delicate white on white snowflakes for a flower girl's dress or a ring pillow. White fabric with silver snowflakes or other winter design may be used as overlays on your guest book table, cake table or reception tables.
Adding a white fur wrap for the bride or fur trim to the bottom of your flower girl's dress is another great winter idea that will add a winter theme to your wedding attire.
Swarovski crystal, cubic zirconia or pearl jewelry on silver is the perfect wedding jewerly for a winter wedding theme. This is an inexpensive way to provide your bridesmaids with a beautiful gift and assure that all attendants will wear similar accessories.

Place your unity candles in silver candle holders and add drama with white florals.
Decorate a white basket for your flower girl to carry and trim the the rim with white fur. White flower petals are a must. For added sparkle use a silver spray glitter on the petals.
Add a silver or light blue ribbon to the flower girl's dress, hair or basket.

Winter wedding decorations for your reception:
Welcome your guests to your reception hall by lining the path to your reception hall with wedding luminaries. Luminaries create a warm glow are easy to assemble and give a hint of the cozy ambiance that is to come.

Your guests will admire a beautiful engagement portrait when prominently placed in a silver frame as they sign your guest book befor entering the reception hall.
Make your guests feel like they have entered a winter wonderland by lining the entrance with tree branches that are covered with twikling lights and crystals.
Christmas ornaments are a great way to add sparkle to any winter wedding theme. Place silver or ice blue ornaments (ball shaped are best) into 3 tall glass cylinders or vases of varying heights. Place the 3 cylinders on top of a mirrored square or round tile and be sure to add candles in glass votives to create a "cool" winter centerpiece.
Another variation of this winter wedding decoration is to add a flower arrangement to the top of each cylinder. This idea works best if your cylinder is approximately 24" tall, so it will not obstruct your guests view during the reception. You will only need one arrangement per table of this winter wedding centerpiece.
Create a warm cozy mood by booking a reception hall that has a fireplace. If a real fire is not available you can also use lots of candles to create that cozy winter wonderland or lodge feeling.
Make your guests feel extra special by placing a large basket filled with inexpensive shawls that will coordinate with your wedding theme colors. Tie a large sign on the basket letting your guests know that they are there for the taking "Please Take One & Snuggle".
Be sure to discuss your winter wedding decor with your caterer and reception manager. They will be able to provide you with silver serving pieces, glass or crystal glasses/gobblets and winter white dishes.

To add drama to your reception tables add silver, white, platinum and light blue to tablecloths, napkins and floral arrangements.
Winter wedding decorations can also incorporate icicle shaped crystals into tall centerpieces, floral arrangements with silver ribbons or placed in silver vases, twinkling strings of lights, snowflakes or stars.
Bring the snow inside by spraying your decorations with sparkle or fake snow. White and/or blue swags of fabric or tule will also help create a winter atmosphere.
If your budget allows, create a magnificent winter themed ice sculpture.

Use silver or crystal picture frames as place card holders that your guests can take home as wedding favors.
