Cool winter wedding ideas

Your wintertime wedding is perfect for all things stunning and sparkling - in fact, a wintry wedding theme lends itself to endless ideas and details that will wow your guests and leave you with beautiful memories. These tips and trends are paving the way for many memorable weddings. Read on to learn how to make your nuptials the highlight of the season.

For a very current look that is still timeless, try red on red. This passionate color symbolizes love, and better yet, it's festive and perfect for the time of year. Pink reds, orange reds and fire-engine reds all complement each other and serve as a gorgeous palette; plus, you'll be able to choose from a variety of flower types (which is always a perk for your pocketbook).

All-white weddings continue to be a bridal favorite. Think clean lines, abundant florals throughout, and exquisite tabletops. The color white evokes a feeling of beauty and purity, so it fits in well with a wedding celebration. You can have "snow angel" flower girls wrapped in faux fur-lined capes, dropping white rose petals along your path. Add to your winter wedding wonderland by hanging crystal or gold snowflakes and mistletoe.

White with blue can also be a traditional, beautiful wedding theme. For the bride, try a bountiful bouquet of white sweet pea with tweedia, or all-white roses with a gorgeous blue brooch attached at the wrapped stems. Add to your fairy tale with twinkling blue lights against an all-white background, beautiful wreaths delicately decorated in the theme colors and white poinsettias placed on every table as pretty centerpieces.

For your cake, try an edible snowflake motif sprinkled with plenty of pretty iridescent sprinkles. If your soon-to-be spouse is an avid skier or snowboarder, consider incorporating it into the groom's cake. To further surprise your guests, serve hot chocolate along with each scrumptious slice.

A hot new idea for winter weddings is mini trees wrapped beautifully in fabric (over their plastic wrapping) as favors. This is one favor that can certainly symbolize your love - it will continue growing over time. You can place one at each guest's seat or have them set up on tables for guests to pick up on their way out.
