The Outdoor Winter Wedding

Bridal How-To Tips:

Purity of love, class, and elegance are just a few of the things a winter wedding conveys. If you just recently became engaged and are still trying to decide what season to set your date in, consider making your plans based around the beautiful winter season.

Not only will your guests love this unique theme, but you'll find that your wedding can be both striking and heartwarming – all it takes is just some innovation. To innovate your wedding and make it something that won't easily be forgotten, think about hosting your wedding in the great outdoors, among the icicles and snow. Hosting an outdoor wedding may seem intimidating at first, but with some careful planning, you can have a romantic ceremony and an unforgettable reception.

Here are a few tips on incorporating wintry elements into your outdoor wedding plans.

The Location: Using the great outdoors as a setting is a romantic way to complete your ceremony. To make it easier for your guests to enjoy the snow without fear of ruining their attire, consider setting up a platform or holding the ceremony in a heated outdoor tent. This can still allow for your guests to get the feel of the beautiful mood of the winter season, without becoming uncomfortable. If snow is your thing, look into hosting your wedding near a ski resort, at a state park, or a nature preserve.

The Attire: Dressing for this outdoor wedding can be a challenge. To keep warm, use a decorative shawl or fur over your bridal gown. For the groom, suggest a fur or a cape. Not only do these touches add some drama, but they also ensure that you feel comfortable during your exchange of vows.

The Decor: This is where you have the most freedom. Winter décor can be a strikingly elegant touch to any wedding, even if it may seem a challenge at first. In reality, once you get started, it'll be easier than ever to incorporate your favorite winter elements into your plans.

Not to mention, choosing complimentary favors is a breeze when you look at the Winter Wedding Favor selection at PWPOnline.com. Look to nature for inspiration on what color choices to make, what organic materials to incorporate, and what flowers to choose for arrangements. Anything from icicle lights to a snowy coconut wedding cake can be incorporated.

Use your imagination and keep your eyes open this winter for striking images to draw ideas from. If you see a gorgeous landscape, take a picture. If you're awestruck by a bright red cardinal on a snowy branch, use it as inspiration. No matter how you choose to get your ideas, just remember to keep it creative and friendly to your outdoor winter theme. Don't be afraid to incorporate woodsy elements like branches, pinecones, or holly!
