Winter Wonderland Wedding Theme
Winter can be a beautiful season around which to plan a wedding. This winter wonderland wedding theme adds sparkle and shine, with reflections of gold and silver creating a world of wonderous enchantment on your special day.
Kari White's ebook Unique Theme Weddings, features an exclusive collection of 17 complete and unique wedding themes, one of which is based on a Christmas/Winter theme. Be sure to check it out as it's a great resource of ideas to have on hand.
Wedding Color Suggestions
Keep in simple and sophisticated with your base color being a pure white, and having accents of silver and gold.
Winter Wedding Attire
- Bride's Attire
White simple gown with white faux fur trim, or gold or silver trim. Gold or silver beading would also look nice. Wear a white, hooded cloak with white faux fur trim and carry a white fur muff, rather than a bouquet. If wearing a gold or silver dress, you could also wear a gold or silver tiara instead of a headpiece/veil.
- Groom and His Attendant's Attire
A white tuxedo with a gold or silver colored vest and bow tie.
- Maid of Honour and Bridesmaid's Attire
White, simple gowns with gold or silver trim or beading. A straight cloak with white faux fur trim, gold or silver trim.
Wedding Invitations
White invitations with silver snowflakes and/or gold stars.
Winter Wonderland Wedding Decorations
- Get some large, willow branches if possible (if not, use regular tree branches). Spray paint all the branches white. Then lightly spray paint some branches with a gold glitter paint and some with a silver glitter paint. Set the branches in buckets filled with sand or gravel. Cover the outside of the buckets with gold and silver colored fabric, gather up near the rim and secure with a length of white ribbon and a bow. String small, twinkling lights throughout the branches and place the "trees" throughout the room. You could also purchase pre-lighted trees.
- Make or buy various sizes of white and silver snowflakes. Hang from the ceiling.
- Cover tables in a white tablecloth. Add smaller accent cloths of gold and silver. Another thing you can do is leave the white tablecloth as is and sprinkle some gold and silver glitter or confetti around the center of the table.
- Make balloon bouquets of silver, white and gold balloons. Use white curly ribbon to tie the balloons together, leaving streamers of ribbon hanging down. Secure the bouquets to some sort of weight (such as tying it to bricks sprayed white, gold or silver or covered in cloth).
Table Decor and Centerpieces
- Buy plain wicker baskets and spray paint some baskets in white, some in gold and some in silver. Tie a large bow to the handle or glue a length of ribbon around the basked and glue a bow on one side. Fill with gold, white and silver Christmas balls. You could follow the same basic idea, except use clear glass bowls instead of baskets, so the balls show through.
- Use a small glass bowl and fill with glass beads (available at craft stores). Set a small votive candle (that is contained in a glass jar) into the bowl nestled within the beads of the bowl.
- Place white flowers in a simple vase. Tie gold and silver ribbons around the neck allowing the streamers to hang down.
- Place a mirror in the center of the table and arrange 3 wine glasses of different heights on the mirror. Fill with water and float a white flower on the top or add floating candles. Sprinkle some glitter over the mirror.
Guest Favors
- Purchase white Christmas balls. Using a glitter paint, write your names on the balls with your wedding date. Glue a small silver or gold bow to the top. This will make a nice remembrance for your guests to hang on their own Christmas trees each year.
- Take two square pieces of gold or silver colored material and sew together, leaving a small opening at the top. Fill with potpourri and sew opening closed. Add lace, ribbon or other trim to decorate the sachet.
- Cut a circle of white tulle and fill with candies, chocolate kisses, mints or nuts. Gather the tulle up and secure with silver or gold ribbon.
- Tie two beeswax candles together with twisted gold and silver ribbon. Add a small spray of baby's breath or a flower slipped under the ribbon.
Pew Markers
- Tie a large white bow with streamers. Hang and arrangement of silver and gold balls from the center.
- Cut a large circle of tulle and slightly gather it near the center of the circle. Make a gold or silver bow and glue to the center of the tulle, so the tulle puffs out around the bow. Add steamers of white, gold and silver ribbon and beads hanging from the center.
Wedding Programs
- Create winter wonderland wedding theme programs from either silver or gold stock with white lettering.
- Make your own programs from white stock paper. Secure silver and gold snowflakes around the edges for the program (stickers).
- If you can write neatly or know someone who can do calligraphy, write your program information on the paper with a gold or silver glitter pen.
Wedding Cake
What would a winter wonderland wedding be without an all white cake? Accent the icing with small silver and gold flowers, and berries.
Wedding Flowers and Bouquet Ideas
- Carry a single white candle with gold and silver ribbon tied around the middle.
- Use a fur muff.
- Carry an all white bouquet.
- Carry a single white rose with gold and silver streamers tied to the stem.
