32 *Dreamy* Winter Wedding Ideas

We love viburnum. These berries come in a variety of colors, which means you can go full-on Christmas with a deep red or embrace a subtler icy winter vibe with blue. 

Paging Elsa. You might even want to consider shopping non-wedding wedding dresses—more variety and a much more affordable price range. 

Use in-season fruit like oranges, grapefruit and pomegranate for deep pops of color. Plus, who doesn’t like a little edible decor? 

We repeat: No one delivers #mood quite like Mother Nature. 

Who would’ve thought that swapping white candlesticks for midnight blue would make this such a cozy nighttime affair? 

We are living for this Margot Robbie moment. Oh, and while we’re talking plum, how about for the bridesmaid dresses too?

Think snowflakes, starlight or seasonal greenery—the more, the merrier (get it?). Your invite design will help get your wedding guests into the right mindset for whatever type of winter soiree you have in mind. 

A festive and foolproof winter color story. 

For a jolt of warm color. Plus, it will be a lovely complement to your groom’s boutonniere. 

It’s the details, people. Or at least bring some rosemary and holly for when your photographer snaps a photo of your invites. 

If you’re going for more “winter woodland chic” than “Santa’s bride,” take the red berries out of the equation and just stick to the evergreen. 

’Tis the season, right? Hear us out: There can never be enough red winter berries at a winter wedding. After all, don’t we see enough white in winter?

A lovely, delicate and sustainable option. Think about it: How are all those flowers blooming in the middle of winter? If you want to decrease your carbon footprint, start here. 

Once again, we are here for edible decor. This is also a genius way to keep your guests sated between cocktails and meal time. 

Not only does this design trick add drama, but it adds warmth and intimacy, as if your entire wedding is sitting next to a cozy hearth.

Calling all Christmas-obsessed brides.

Fill it with hurricane lanterns for a cozy focal point and then repurpose it as decor—or a cupcake bar?—during the reception.

Come on now, this one’s a must. It makes your photos that much more wintry. Borrow an antique cape from your great-aunt or buy a faux piece from a department store. 

We swoon for a baby pinecone. And if you’re lucky, you can just collect them from the front yard. 

A crowd-pleaser, for sure. Add some Baileys if you really want to win over everyone, including Uncle Roger. 

It doesn’t get more “holiday wedding” than this. Make sure the red shows though by opting for a naked cake.

For an interesting pop of texture. 

Silver dollar eucalyptus is always a good idea—and probably a real nice budget saver. 

Less is more sometimes. 

Fewer flowers could save your budget, plus it’s a nice homage to the most wintry flower arrangement off all time: the wreath. 

A deep blue or green color in a lush textile. Velvet is an innately wintry fabric choice.

Who says you have to wear black? Colder temps mean so many more materials are up for grabs when it comes to suits. Not into velvet? Try tweed or wool for a warmer, more textured suit. 

Hey, we never said we were done with berries. And this pretty execution gets extra points for its simplicity.

Like snowflakes landed just so on your updo and decided to stay awhile.  

This way, when your MOH spills her merlot, no one will notice. Oh, and don’t they just look rich and luxe next to the bride’s white?  

Let is snow, let it snow, let it snow—or at least pretend it’s snowing for a fabulous photo op with some sparkling white confetti.  

Fact: Snow makes photos.
