Winter Wedding Ideas For An Affordable Wedding

Getting married in the winter may help save money, and these winter wedding ideas can explain why.

Holding your wedding during the winter means that you will most likely pay less to rent a location for your wedding ceremony and reception.

Wedding Set-up And Decorations

Unless you live in a tropical place where weather is not a factor, you will most likely decide to have an indoor winter wedding. If you are not planning a Christmas-themed winter wedding, you should choose colors such as white, silver, and pale blue for your wedding color scheme.

Bridesmaids will look wonderful in floor-length pale blue dresses, but a stunning white wedding dress with beaded accents will have all eyes on the bride. Calla lilies are an appropriate choice for winter bouquets, and tying them with silver ribbon will add some sparkle. Be sure to decorate the ends of pews or rows of chairs with decorative bows made from that same silver ribbon!

Need some winter wedding ideas for your reception? The use of white or pale blue tablecloths conveys sophistication. Include an ice sculpture somewhere in the room, perhaps on the buffet or near the bar. In fact, small ice sculptures make absolutely breathtaking table centerpieces, especially if they are able to hold flowers and act as vases. Surround them with tea light candles to add a bit of a warm, romantic glow. Twinkling Christmas lights should also be used in the room to add to the overall winter ambiance.

Invitations

Winter weddings are usually more formal than summer or spring weddings, and the use of a formal invitation will help explain that to your guests. Choose thick navy blue invitations with raised white script and be sure to include all the important details!

Wedding Cake And Favors

If you're in need of a few more winter wedding ideas you can add to your winter theme with your cake and wedding favors. Display a three-tier cake iced in white fondant on a silver cake platter, and in lieu of miniature bride and groom statues, use a large silver snowflake as a cake topper. Coffee mugs featuring the bride and groom's names and an individual packet of gourmet hot cocoa mix make wonderful winter wedding favors!
