Winter Wedding Themes
Winter wedding themes can be exquisite and magical if you're planning a winter wedding between the months of December and January. You can create a winter wedding wonderland with some imagination and help from Mother Nature herself to make your wedding every bit the fairy tale wedding dream come true.
Winter Wedding Venues Charming inns or historic mansions with large fireplaces are perfect for either small or large affairs. Look for places that have large fireplaces where you can walk to and exchange your vows. Or maybe you know of a beautiful country church with a wonderland setting among trees and winter flowers. Just make sure that if it's quite an old church building that it's still equipped with a good heating system and not too awfully drafty.
Winter Wedding Flowers The types of flowers you use depend a lot on whether you're using flesh or silk flowers. For example, if you're going for a white and silver "ice" theme, you can choose silk white roses or tulips with faux dew drops on them and have some of them painted in silver. You can offset the bouquet with holly and red berries. You can also choose from a variety of fresh flowers that are in bloom in your area during the winter, and use embellishments to match your theme. Once you've decided on your bouquet, you can mix and match to create centerpieces and table decorations that match your bouquet as well.

Winter Wedding Decorations Decorating to a winter theme can be fun since you can focus on a Christmas theme or a New Year's theme using gold and silver pillar candles inside a bed of pine branches or holly. String white or silver strands of lights through some silver or golden holly leaves and drape them around doorways, tables and archways.
The ideas are only limited by your imagination. Visit dollar type general stores for deep discount sales on Christmas decorations or after winter sales and you're set.
Winter Wedding Favors A fun and inexpensive guest favor is to fill little tiny gift boxes with mints or hard candies, then wrap them in colorful gift wrap and set them at each table. Another do-it-yourself idea is to make a cookie or cake recipe-in-a-jar, with a wintry decorative label and attach a Christmas or a snowflake cookie cutter to the ribbon. Bookmarks are also another inexpensive favor idea that you can do yourself using winter wedding themes.
Winter Wedding Cakes One of the the most beautiful pieces at the reception that everyone can't wait to see is your wedding cake. Using a winter theme, you have a stunning winter white cake with snowflakes falling around the tiers, or make it a simple but elegant cake by having each tier stand alone with silver beads sprinkled around.
Then top off the dessert table with mugs of steaming hot chocolate with whipped cream and cinnamon for your guests to have with their cake and desserts.
