Winter Wedding Ideas?

[winter_wonderland]

Hi,
So ive been engaged for a few months and our wedding is about a year away (dec 29, 2007) and im looking for ideas. I want to have a very wintery wedding with blue, silver and white. I want to avoid the christmas look like red and green together although I do like greenery lol. Any ideas that anyone can offer would be wonderful:).

Hi! I am having a winter wonderland themed wedding in about 12 days!!!! I am using red and silver and white. When I first started out I was planning on using the ice blue, but I just feel in love with Apple Red at David's Bridal.

I bought several items from this website: http://www.balloons-galore.net/cat_winter.cfm . They are reasonably priced and they even have the ice blue color you are looking for.


Here are a few highlights from my journal that Melissa linked.

You can get these in all different colors.

These are really easy to make. Mine almost look exactly like these. All you do is find tree branches that are dead. We spray painted them white and also added glitter paint. The glitter is really subtle. Then we added lights and we used terracota pots and painted them white. It is really cheap and really elegant.

Love the cake!

Thanks! I am hoping it comes out as beautiful as that picture!

[winter_wonderland]

I love the trees idea! I found this picture befor and actually thought of using that idea only on a smaller scale nice to see someone else tried it too! lolhttp://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r142/nilewis/aisle.jpg

[Kacie_bride]

That is really gorgeous! Another thing, you should really check out all the after Christmas sales becaues you are going to find some great deals!!!!

[lea m]

You know! You girls!!!! I really really want a winter wedding!!! The more i see pics and think about it i want it!!!! But then the other side of me says 'no you'll freeze!' (i feel the cold terribly) and im supposed to be getting married on the date me and FH met?!?!?! I just really love the ideas!!

[winter_wonderland]

LOL who cares about the cold when you've got your honey to warm you :D lol i chose december because im still in college and there is the winter break which gives me few weeks to work in before the wedding.. not only that but i get to use those awesome icey colors.. thinking bout midnight blue and silver and white

[winter_wonderland]

Fun stuff.. so i went and found that friends episode on youtube.. where pheobe gets married .. and like you said the twinkley lights were great lol i think ill have to use that

[lea m]

That sound nice!! Ooor see your doing it now!! lol Maybe i could find a nice long sleeve dress!! Or make sure the place is heated!! lol (I have a feeling, if i get the castle i want, Thats not going to happen! LOL) Its just special date versus beautiful timing??? And then theres xmas?? I think Kacie has a good idea doing it just after xmas, but then again, that would work holding your wedding just before xmas! Always having something to look forward too!!???? Might speak to Joe about it tomorrow, its to late now i'll be going bed soon!! lol

[winter_wonderland]

I opted to wait until after christmas so people wouldnt be stressed worrying about both at the same time

[lea m]

You know, I dont even care about what others will worry about !!! lol Only joking!! hee hee

[kevinsbride2B]

Hi and Welcome!!!!!! I think a winter wedding is STUNNING!!!!!!!!! Kacie's ideas have been so beautiful and you could get so much inspiration from hers.
From what I have seen there are also a ton of DIY stuff that would suit winter weddings wonderfully.
The trees are also stunning that you showed in the picture.
I look forward to seeing some more of your ideas come to life and again welcome, you'll really like it here!

OK so I thought I had my centerpieces all figured out. Apparently not, I was looking at Candle lanterns that i could buy whole sale. I wanted to put a few on each table ( they are long banquet tables) and I wanted to put flowers and other things around them. I thought it had a nice wintery feel to it. Nice glow. Well I showed it to my mother, who is helping pay for alot, & she thinks the lanterns are too small. So I'm either looking for better lanterns, or just better centerpiece ideas in general. Any ideas?

2 lantern sets for sale I found
This one is from ebay $60 for 20 4 3/4 in tall

http://www.byrequestinvitations.com/images/Products/3KA48736_352lr.jpg I love the snowflake theme. Originally, I wanted to get married around Nov or in Jan, so I could use the snowflake theme. We ended up going with another theme, and setting our date for March.

[winter_wonderland]

Apple sounds like a very nice color. Thankfully I already have all that stuff.. otherwise id bein trouble with only 2 weeks left hahaha. I ended up using Navy and silver instead of light blue. turned out very nice. Good luck with your planning

I remember a few years ago someone getting married during the St Paul Winter Carnival, in front of the Ice Palace. Groom was in white tux, bride had on a white fur coat, maids where in these baby blue gowns. The bouqets where carved ice. Was a big headline in the paper.
