From jewel-toned table decorations to an all-white party wedding theme and from wintry wedding fashion ideas to the best winter food and drinks, we gathered 19 easy-to-follow winter wedding ideas to make your day one for the books.
Winter Wedding Venue
The quickest way to channel a winter wedding atmosphere is to pick a venue that can best bring the vibe. A winter wonderland theme comes alive through an all-white ceremony or reception space. A holiday ski chalet vibe looks so good in a rustic barn.
Winter Wedding Theme
All White Party
A pure white color scheme is enough to bring the winter feels as it reminds of the cold snow— white blossom trees, fairy lights, candles, and chairs.
Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
Winter is almost synonymous with Christmas. Make this festive holiday your theme when you get the chance to marry around the 25th of December. Use it to your advantage that most venues are already gorgeously decorated with Christmas ornaments.
Winter Wedding Decorations
Warming Jewel Tones Table Settings
Explore the beauty of jewel colors, like emerald green, ruby red, sapphire blue, midnight blue, and citrine yellow. You can expect a warm, rich and relaxed atmosphere when used to your glassware, table runners, napkins, and candles.
Soft Pastel Florals
Bring an icier vibe to your winter wedding with flowers with icy pastel shades. Complete the winter look by placing them inside metallic vases.
Fairy Lights
Bring romance to your winter wedding by using fairy lights. Create the perfect backdrop for your photos with a fairy light wall. Other creative ways to use fairy lights are by wrapping them around banisters and beams, putting them inside lanterns for table centerpieces, hanging them from trees, and using them to line paths and aisles.
Candlelit Altar
A candlelit setup complements a cold and chilly winter wedding theme. Imagine the wonderful wintry ambiance you can get by lighting your aisle and staircases with lanterns filled with pillar candles or framing your wedding altar with candles.
Blanket Box
Your guests, especially the elderly ones, could use a blanket to keep them cozy. Set up a blanket box near the wedding venue entrance.
DIY Pine Cone Centerpieces
Use gold or silver spray-painted pine cone centerpieces. This versatile piece is readily available and undoubtedly affordable during the winter season.
Sparkling Send Off
Give your guests smokeless sparklers and have them line up to light your way as you enter your wedding car.
Winter Wedding Food and Drinks
Hot Chocolate Station
Help your guests keep warm and cozy before or after the wedding with creamy hot chocolate. Prepare whipped cream, crushed candy canes, crumbled gingerbread biscuits, flakes, and marshmallow toppings.
Roast Dinner
Excite the eyes and appetites of your guests with comfort foods like cheese fondue or mini beef Yorkshire pudding canapes, roasted joints carved at the table, and a sticky toffee pudding for dessert.
Mulled Wine and Signature Winter Cocktails
A serving of mulled wine to greet your adult guests is a great way to keep their energy up and running.
Signature winter cocktails like Rhubarb negronis, chai latte martinis, and ginger margaritas mixed with plum, cinnamon, or rosemary will bring in the spicy Christmas vibe.
Festive Food Favors
Thanking your wedding guests with food favors is a delicious and eco-friendly way to appreciate their presence. Beautifully wrap up your homemade pies, truffles, nougat or snowman biscuits. Prepare hot chocolate mixes or s’mores kits for them to take home.
Winter Wedding Fashion
Layers
Capes, faux fur stole, chic shrug or embroidered denim jacket will keep the bride and her bridal party warm. Bridesmaids can also use lighter options like a pashmina, capelet or bolero.
Sparkling Bridesmaid Dress
Accentuate your winter wedding by letting your bridesmaids wear Cicinia bridesmaid dresses with crystals, beads, and sequins that sparkle under your fairy lights.
Chic Bridal Suit
Push your wedding fashion to boundaries and look pleasantly different in a sleek and sharp suit or jumpsuit.
Winter Wedding Cake
Fruity Winter Wedding Cake
Top your white wedding cake with frosted figs, blackberries, cherries, and pears. Add sugar-crusted cranberries to make the cake look even more appetizing.
Doughnut Winter Wedding Cake
A fantastic alternative for non-cake lovers is a doughnut tower. The base will still be a cake, so you can have something to cut. Fill the rest with your favorite doughnut flavors.
We hope you’ll have a wonderful winter wedding day! And please check Cicinia's blog for more wedding tips.
