In honor of the snow that has kept us in the past two days, I decided to write about winter weddings.
Rudi and Vikki's Alpine Wedding. See more amazing pictures and read
all about their incredibly romantic engagement on The Pretty Blog.com
Yes, June weddings are typically more popular and it does make it easier to choose strapless gowns for the bride as well as the bridesmaids, but there's something so magical and ethereal about winter weddings. Imagine an historic site with the fireplace lit, tables decorated in all white with touches of crystals glimmering from the candle light. Sounds romantic, doesn't it?
And then there's the photography aspect of it. You can get some seriously amazing photography--if done right--in the snow. Some tips though, wear thermal leggings under your dress and keep hand warmers with you. A fur or faux fur wrap doesn't just look divine but it will keep those shoulders nice and warm. I read somewhere that in order to keep the dress clean and as dry as possible during the photo session outside, get the dress to the same temperature as it is outside, that way when the snow falls on it, it won't melt.
When decorating, a dramatic effect can be created by placing streams of twinkle lights from the corners of the room and gathering them into the center. Any columns can also be wrapped and filled with the same twinkle lights.
Here's also a very cute idea that will put a nice modern twist to your decor, garlands of paper snowflakes. Going back to your childhood adds a sprinkle of fun and will make your guests smile from nostalgia. I found this awesome idea on Intimateweddings.com.
And last but not least, this next image epitomizes a winter wedding wonderland. Sure, it might cost you an arm and a leg just for this decor alone, but its so beautiful, I couldn't resist. And who knows, you might find the right planner/decorator that may be able to duplicate this on a budget.
