Wonderful winter wedding trends
Seasonal wedding ideas to ensure your winter wedding is bang on trend!
As the chill of winter wraps its arms around us, celebrate the magic of the season with a romantic winter wedding theme. From rich colour schemes to elegant bridal jackets, we’ve gathered the hottest winter wedding trends that will make your winter wedding a truly enchanting affair.
Dive into a winter wonderland with these wedding ideas, where glamour meets warmth, and every detail is a nod to the cosy charm of the season.
Winter Elegance
Winter weddings call for bridal attire that not only exudes elegance but also provides warmth (because no one wants to look like they’re freezing in their wedding photographs). Enter bridal capes, jackets and even bridal knitwear.
Whether it’s a feather-embellished cape or a faux fur jacket, these coverups not only keep the chill at bay but also add a touch of drama to your bridal look.
When it comes to the bridal party, search for dresses made from plush velvets and heavyweight satins. Or, for added sparkle, how about a full sequin gown? Whatever you choose, consider long sleeves or jackets to keep the girls warm, too.
Perfect for a winter celebration, opt for woollen or Tweed fabrics for the groomsmen, to add a touch of rustic charm. If your wedding vibe is a glamorous black tie event, look to black velvet jackets for the boys paired with crisp white shirts and finished with satin bowties for a wintry twist.
Jewel Tones
Step away from the pastel hues and embrace the season by echoing the colours in nature with rich colours for your winter wedding. Jewel tones like deep burgundies, emerald greens, rich golds and sapphire blues create a palette that adds warmth and a touch of opulence.
Picture bridesmaids stepping out in rich burgundy gowns, glassware in luxurious jewel tones and flowers in bold shades to create a scene straight out of a winter fairy tale.
All out glamour
Glamorous beauty looks take centerstage for winter weddings. Think sultry smokey eyes, bold lip colours, and a sleek hairstyle for a dramatic look to complement the drama of the season.
Gilded eyeshadows and shimmering highlights will make you glow like the winter sun, creating a look that is both sophisticated and magical.
Finish big bouncy curls with sparkling hair pins, or embrace a sleek updo, complete with dazzling, statement earrings.
Seasonal supper
Warm up your guests with seasonal drinks and hearty meals that reflect the spirit of winter. Mulled wine, hot chocolate stations, and signature winter cocktails add a seasonal touch to your celebration. Finish your drinks with decorative straws and winter berry garnishes.
For the wedding breakfast, opt for hearty dishes like rich stews, roasted meats, seasonal vegetables, and flavoursome jus that will leave your guests feeling satisfied. Chocolatey or caramel desserts will be a welcome treat, too!
Blooms and Berries
Embrace the enchantment of winter’s natural beauty by incorporating lush foliage, fresh flowers, and seasonal elements like berries and pine cones into your wedding decor.
Imagine walking down an aisle adorned with garlands of eucalyptus, punctuated with pops of deep red winter berries and charming pine cones.
Centrepieces and bouquets featuring arrangements of winter blooms such as amaryllis, hellebores, and evergreen branches bring the outdoor winter landscape indoors, creating a setting that is both romantic and organic.
Textural Touches
Light the Way
Transform your wedding venue into a warm and inviting space with the magic of ambient lighting and elegant drapes. Twinkling fairy lights, flickering candles and perfectly placed lanterns create a magical atmosphere.
Team elegant low lighting with draped fabric hanging from the ceiling to turn any venue into a romantic haven that feels both grand and cosy.
Magical moments
Create magical moments with your guests with subtle changes to traditional details. Trade classic confetti for snow confetti to add a fun and whimsical touch to your grand exit after the winter wedding ceremony.
As the night draws in, head outside with your guests for a sparkler moment set against the winter night sky and embrace inclement weather with fun group photographs under illuminated umbrellas.
