Winter Wedding Decorations

Winter wedding decorations can be glamorous and magical or quietly understated, depending on your personalities and preferences.

Where you plan to hold both your ceremony and your reception will help to determine the best use of winter colors and decorating options to suit the local.

For example, if you're holding your entire wedding in a beautiful chalet nestled within the valley of snow covered mountains, focusing your decorating efforts to bring out an old world winter charm may be a great decorating scheme to work with.

In contrast, a reception being held in an ritzy hotel would call for more glitzy, shimmering winter wedding decorations - and is a great backdrop to set up an magical winter wonderland, complete with white trees dripping with glistening ornaments.

That's not to say you can't create whatever you wish regardless of where your wedding celebration will be taking place… but overall, it is easier to work within the environment that you're in.

Dress Up Your Location

Pure white flowers, regardless of what the "winter theme" may be, always look stunning. You can add extra style and charm to your arrangements with sparkling bouquet jewels tucked in between the blooms.

Clear, white or colored gel beads are a fabulous choice in dressing up your tables, especially if you are planning to use candles as the centerpieces of your wedding tables.

A winter wedding definitely calls for strings of white lights throughout the room - around doorways, strung across the ceiling or illuminating white Christmas trees or white-painted branch-trees.

Sparkling snowflakes are another winter decorating item that is perfect for a wintery wedding theme. Use varying sizes and hang from the ceiling or secure them over the food tables.

Another wonderfully enchanting decoration is to set up a beautiful ice sculpture that guests can admire, perhaps next to a champagne fountain.

These are just a few of the winter wedding decorations that could be used to create an enchanting wonderland, both for the ceremony and the reception. For additional ideas, have a look at the products featured below.
