The Best Holiday Season Winter Wedding Ideas to Inspire Your Festive Wedding
Happy Holidays! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and a winter wedding over the holiday season just makes it even more wonderful. Although summer and fall are considered to be the peak wedding seasons, there really is nothing quite as romantic as a winter wedding celebration! If you love the holiday season, then hosting a winter wedding is the perfect idea.
Be inspired to spread some holiday cheer at your event. The holidays are a time to spend with your loved ones, and a holiday wedding provides a wonderful opportunity to bring together all of your nearest and dearest to share your love. A winter wedding is perfect to celebrate the season and throw the best holiday party ever!
From seasonal foliage to magical color palettes, a winter wedding doesn’t have to be holiday-themed! You can go all out with red and green celebrations, glitzy sparkles everywhere, or be more minimal with a snowy white style. There are plenty of choices for a full Christmas celebration in December, as well as plenty of inspiration for those dreamy January and February ceremonies.
Here at The Patterned Desk, we love festive weddings, and want to share our favorite ideas with you to transform your day into a winter wonderland!
Winter Wedding Venue
The venue choice will make a big difference in how you style and decorate your winter wedding. You could go for a rustic venue with open fires and a cosy atmosphere, or you could look for something that’s a bit more traditional with a classic dining room and ballroom just ready to be turned into the ultimate winter wonderland.
Styled Invitation Suite
Your save-the-dates and invitations set the tone for the big day right from the beginning, so it’s the perfect place to embrace the season and showcase your festive theme!
Set the scene
Greenery is a natural choice for a Christmas wedding, pine and eucalyptus just lend themself beautifully to winter-styled decor. Get creative with the foliage with hanging florals installations, a festive wedding arch, or draped over your tables as a centrepiece. You can also add berry accents, gold or red ribbon, pine cones or moss.
Color Palette
The colors you incorporate into your winter wedding will really help accentuate the theme. Popular palettes for the holiday season are rich jewel tones such as burgundy, emerald and plum, lighter wintery tones such as icy blue, sage, blush pink and silver, or cosy darker tones like navy, bottle green, tweed brown and gold.
Frosted Signs
Winter weddings make you think of ice, snow and frost! So, bring this into your wedding decor by using frosted wedding signage and stationery. At The Patterned Desk, we are now offering calligraphy and signage services, and would love to help you create the dreamiest frosted signs and stationery for your wedding! Find out more here.
Twinkling Lights
Nothing says festive quite like twinkling lights. So a winter wedding just wouldn’t be complete without fairy lights, candles and lanterns, to create a romantic and magical atmosphere! We personally think you can never have too many twinkling lights for a wintery wonderland.
Dress the table
Let the foliage and color palette influence your table setting styling. Whether you’re going minimal or pulling out all the stops, the way you dress your table will make such a difference to the venue appearance! Think lots of candles, foliage centerpieces, festive wreaths, winter berries, customized table stationery, complimentary napkins and a cosy ambience.
