You can sculpt your winter weddings to become a glamorous and magical event and many great theme ideas lend themselves perfectly to a winter setting. To give you a little inspiration I’ve put together a few tried and tested ideas that have set the scene for some unforgettable winter weddings.
Themes
If you are looking for a glamorous day a winter wedding is perfect for an elegant icy theme using lots of silvers, icy blues and whites in your colour scheme. Your reception can greet your guests with gorgeous ice sculptures, graceful candles, plenty of sparkling diamonds (or faux diamonds!) and for the complete fairytale, a horse drawn carriage to mark your arrival in style.
Alternatively you could try a more traditional yet hugely effective winter warmer theme with roaring log fires and mulled wine. Rich festive reds and ivory colours can be used with seasonal ornament such as pine branches and berries.
Stationery
Whatever time of year, it’s great to try and incorporate your wedding colours into your stationery. With a winter wedding you can really set the tone for your day by sending out themed invitations to your guests to let them know they’re in for a treat.

We all know just how important your wedding photos are and one of the main sticking points when mulling over a winter wedding is the temperature! For those beautiful outside photos in the freezing cold look for wraps, shrugs and coats to accentuate your theme colours and stay nice and snug at the same time
Food
There are so many scrumptious winter classics to choose from your menu will never be restricted by a winter wedding. The colder months are the perfect time to serve hearty, comfort food from full roasts to hot pasta dishes or shepherd’s pie, and your caterer will have plenty of great ideas of how to warm up your guests. You can also serve seasonal drinks such as eggnog and spiced wine to accompany the traditional champagne.
Flowers
There are many elegant winter themed flowers to choose from, with silver dollar eucalyptus, dusty miller and of course white roses all perfectly suited to a winter theme. You also have the opportunity to use seasonal foliage such as holly and pine tree greenery to bring out some festive colour.
Whatever your taste, a winter wedding can offer something special for everyone.
