One: Winter and the festive period
Consider a less-is-more approach to your colour palette, silver and white with crystal accents can add some serious glamour to your winter wedding.
Two: Black and White
The elegant black and white winter wedding is very classy and is a popular trend for 2009. Why not ask all of your guests to wear black and white whilst the bride stands out in a bold burgundy or sumptuous fabric.
Three: Calligraphy
Using stylised lettering or creating a monogram of your initials is a real growing trend in the industry.
Four: Going Vintage
This eco-sound and vintage trend has seen us through 2009. A vintage theme or even just a couple of vintage touches is great for your budget.
Five: The Dress
Ball gowns and long gloves are back in style in 2009 and a winter wedding is the most appropriate time of the year to step into this look of opulence.
Six: Pared Down Wedding Cakes
Wedding cakes have gone through a series of trends, in many cases being disassembled entirely. The layered wedding cake is back or may be opt for a personal touch with smaller cakes.
Seven: Beverage Additions
A welcome touch on winter bridal menus has seen the addition of hot chocolate with marshmallows, winter Pimms, hot cider and other warm winter favourites gaining in popularity.
Eight: The Flowers
Consider fuller flowers, such as white hydrangeas and soft ranunculus. White boutonnieres can be handsome when they’re accented with greenery.
Nine: The Décor
Glowing candles heighten the drama; bring in the icy outdoors with ice-carved vases on your reception tables.
Ten: Favours
Try new treat ideas to send your guests home satisfied. Give out small packages of chocolate-covered cranberries or roasted chestnuts.
Eleven: Honeymoons
A winter wedding can segue perfectly into a snowy escape. Embrace the season and rent a cozy log cabin for a week in Lake Placid.
