Do you have a wedding coming up this winter that you’re having trouble planning for? Here are some noteworthy trends to help create a wonderful winter wedding.
The Invitations
We all know that one of the very first things you do when planning a wedding is sending out wedding invitations. But, what we don’t know is that the colors you use on the actual card itself matter. Using deep colors – such as burgundy, sienna, or a deep shade of purple – along with a metallic-colored border can really make your winter wedding invitation stand out.
Uniqueness
Having a unique, one-of-a-kind winter wedding is a great goal. Here are some ideas that could give your winter wedding just the touch it needs to avoid that dull, lifeless feel of so many weddings.
Wardrobe Change
Having two different dresses to wear throughout the night will help set your winter wedding apart for a couple of reasons. First, being able to switch the mood and pace of the event will make the bride feel like she has the best of both worlds. Secondly, it will make your guests want to stay longer since they will have another dress to look forward to seeing. This is an increasing trend in successful winter weddings.
Accent Pieces
Adding one small special touch to either your dress or your decor can really set you apart from the average bride. For example, you could add a striking pair of sparkly red shoes that will stand out against your all-white dress, or included an embellished bouquet – simply a classic bouquet of flowers embroidered with crystals, vintage brooches, and other statement jewelry – as a centerpiece for each of your tables. And, since it is a winter wedding, I would suggest adding a few snowflakes to the bouquet as well!
Music
Let’s face it, wedding music can get extremely boring. Another unique wedding trend is to play styles of music that are not traditionally used for weddings. Playing a mix of indie, multi-cultural, and old-school styles of music will make your guests more interested in your event. Playing some classic holiday songs could help incorporate the winter theme as well.
