Yeah its December, temperatures have plummeted and we’re truly in the depths of winter now so it’s time to add a touch of winter wonder to your wedding. Winter weddings include sprinkles of silver, sparkle, snowflakes and snow in a can and it’s this attention to detail that will make your wedding stand out.

Centrepieces
Wedding stylists have a field day with winter as it offers up all sorts of decorative inspiration. Think snow sprayed branches, elegant candelabras or glass jars filled with baubles.

Place Card Holders
Rustic wooden place card holders are wonderfully wintry and would be easy enough to source.

A winter brides needs warmth and yes, you could wear a shawl or blanket as you dart in and out of the church to the car, but a faux fur stole can be worn all day and add a real touch of glass to your look.
