While the winter is certainly not the peak time for a wedding, there are those who choose this time of year to get married.

Maybe it’s the idea of creating the perfect indoor theme to match the winter white themed created by Mother Nature.

If you are planning a white wedding, here are a few tips to create the greatest effect:

1.   Consider a cooler type of LED lighting available instead of the warmer lighting that candlelight provides

2.   Branches in their natural state or sprayed white with glitter are always a nice touch

3.   Winter greens such as cedar and pine will not only add to the feeling of winter, but will add that unmistakable sent too!

In my last post,  I wrote that one way to celebrate a wedding during the fall or winter season was with rich warm colours.

Another classic way to celebrate a winter wedding with flowers is to consider all the elements visible in nature now and take the whiteness of snow and the pine trees wrapped with twinkle lights as inspiration for a wedding flower palette.

From hydrangeas and roses, to orchids and lilies, there is a plethora of flowers that come in beautiful shades of cream and white and incorporating winter greens such as cedar or pine, creates a texture that is elegant and classic look for a seasonal arrangement.

This combination can be used everywhere from boutonnieres for the groom and his groomsmen with small sprigs of cedar to accent a single white bloom to coordinate with the bouquet of the bride and that of her bridesmaids to large arrangements for ceremony and head tables and the matching centerpieces.
