Go With the Flow – Using Snow as Part of Your Winter Wedding Theme
A wedding can be a joyful, memorable time at any time of year. However, many winter brides have found that winter
can be a wonderful time to tie the knot. Some people do think of winter as a good time for weddings but winter
weddings can be easy to book and easy to plan as well. Planning a wedding during the winter makes the choice of a
wedding theme easy, as many winter brides choose to go with the popular snow theme for their winter wedding.
The color white has long been synonymous with brides and weddings as well as with winter. This is why snow and
snowflakes have become such popular themes for winter weddings. Many winter brides choose to make white the color
of many things having to do with their wedding. Tables can be lined with white linen, sparkling snowflakes can be
hung as winter décor, and white Christmas lights can create a magical ambiance in the reception hall. Even the cake
can be decorated with a snowflake theme to complete the décor of your winter wedding.
In addition to the color white, silver also often makes its way into the plans for winter weddings. Silver is a
popular choice for the color of bridesmaid dresses during winter weddings. The flowers for the bride’s bouquet and
bridesmaids’ bouquets are often white during winter weddings. Oftentimes, the bride and groom choose to decorate
the place of the wedding ceremony in a lot of white. A white carpet can be laid down for the bride to enter the
place of ceremony on. The reception hall is often decorated in white, silver or gold as well. Winter music is often
played. If the bride and groom celebrate Christmas and the wedding is held during the holiday season they may
choose to play some Christmas Carols during the reception ceremony. White flowers make nice centerpieces for the
tables at the wedding reception. Another popular idea is white votive candles, which give the reception hall a cozy
feel.
Stationary for the wedding can also be created to match the snow-wedding theme. Winter wedding invitations can be
printed on white paper with silver or gold print. They often can include snowflakes or other symbols of snow and
winter on them. The wedding programs can be done similarly, accentuating the snow-wedding theme.
If the bride and groom celebrate Christmas and most of their guests do as well, they may choose to purchase a
number of solid colored Christmas balls. The bride and groom can write the name of guests on a ball and hand them
out as wedding favors. Often, Christmas balls can be bought in bulks and may not cost the bride and groom an
ordinate amount of money. Guests are sure to enjoy having a keepsake of the fabulous winter wedding they attended.
Even guests who do not celebrate Christmas or do not buy a Christmas tree can hang the ball decoration elsewhere as
a keepsake from the wedding.
When choosing a wedding theme it is very important for many brides and grooms to have all aspects of the wedding
coordinated. This can make choosing a theme difficult but for those who plan a winter wedding, using a snow theme
can make planning much more simple.
The snow wedding theme is very easy to coordinate and can make the stress of planning a wedding seem much less
intense. Winter weddings can be easily planned if the bride and groom are on a budget as well. You and your guests
are sure to be pleased with the wondrous snow theme of your winter wedding.
