Winter Wedding Trends For 2018
Having a winter wedding can be wonderful. They can we warm, cosy, and really romantic (even more so if you get lucky and have a day where the snow falls perfectly). But if you don’t plan well it can be a chilly day for you and your guests. We’ve put together this blog post to share with you some winter wedding trends for 2018 to help you plan better.
For the Bride and Bridesmaids — Long-Sleeved and Layered Dresses
Taking a cue from the shelves of your winter wardrobe and play up the emphasis on the need for more clothing! Pick dresses with long-sleeved and elegant layers. There is an element of grace, poise, and old-fashioned romance that comes along with sleeves, and you have plenty of options to show off your personality. Sheer, lace, quarter-sleeve, jewelled — so many sleeves, so little time! Check this slideshow out for more ideas.
For the Groom and Groomsmen — Luxurious Tuxedos and Suits
There’s something about winter that invokes a feeling of class and luxury. Maybe all the sparkly snow? Capitalize on this feeling by dressing your men up in traditional-style tuxedos with elegant details. Choose textured fabrics like velvet and tweed, and opt for colours like grey, brown, green, or burgundy. We recommend checking out The Black Tux.
For the Decor — Cozy Details
Your wedding’s overall feeling and mood is brought out through the decor. You could choose textured details to mix and match throughout your table settings and ceremony arrangements, like flannels, plaids, knits, and faux furs, to pay homage to the coziness of the season. There’s nothing more romantic than making everyone want to cuddle up close. Or you could go with a chic and warm palette of gold, purples, greens, and navy. If you want to bring nature inside into your wedding theme try snow-covered garlands, greenery, pines, berries and, woodsy accents.
For the Food & Dessert — Holiday-Inspired
One of the best parts of winter is the food that comes with the holiday season, but don’t overshadow the meals you know people will already be having at home. Make the food and dessert holiday-inspired and on the lighter side. Think bite-sized desserts and healthful spins on holiday mains. Use seasonal spices like cinnamon to dust your treats, make mulled wine or small cups of hot cocoa, dipped marshmallows instead of cupcakes — the options are as endless as they are delicious.
