Wedding Theme - Winter Wonderland

Well it's December and Christmas (and no doubt the snow) will soon be upon us, so I've decided that it would be quite fitting if the next theme I look at is Winter Weddings. 

There's something very romantic about winter weddings, or at least that's the image I have in my head...

....it might not be so romantic if the snow in my imagination was replaced by rain and gale force winds in real life!

While it's cold outside, why not have a hot refreshment bar to keep your guests warm while you have your photographs taken or a winter champagne cocktail

If you are holding your wedding in December time, a lot of venues will already be decorated with foliage and Christmas trees saving you some money in the process, however if you aren't getting married at Christmas time, you could recreate a feeling of winter using lots of white with hints of gold or green as well as some natural materials e.g. pine cones either in your wedding ceremony or reception.



 

Other colours that lend themselves well to a winter wedding are blue and red which can look particularly striking against white (and snow if you are lucky enough to get some)

And just look at the fun you can have with cakes and table decorations in a winter theme wedding

Wedding themes - Art Deco

As well as looking at wedding colours, I'll also be looking at a number of different wedding themes on the blog.  First up it's Art Deco

A lot of wedding themes are inspired by tv, books and film and this theme is no different, the inspiration being the popular film (and book) the Great Gatsby.  Starting in the 1920s and running right through to the late 1940's Art Deco can be characterised by rich colours, geometric shapes and lavish decoration.  To me, its screams luxury and glamor!

Art deco influence can be seen in many wedding dress designs this year and has also had an influence on the grooms attire.  Just look at all that pretty detailing on the back of this wedding dress....

This lovely cake and cage for wedding wishes or cards from your guests are great subtle ways of introducing art deco in to your wedding.....

These hair accessories and pieces of jewellery are beautiful, I particularly like the earrings and the beautiful ring. 

 

You can also find wedding invitations, place cards and gift tags all inspired by art deco to see your theme right through.  Head on over to my shop on etsy and you can find some lovely black, white and gold art deco inspired stationery.

 

Art deco is going to be a big trend for 2014.  It's one of my personal favourites and if I wasn't getting married abroad I would definitely be going for this sort of look - unfortunately it doesn't quite sit right with a beach wedding!
