Winter Wedding Signs

Winter wedding signs are a great way to add some personality and warmth to your wedding decor. They can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal or fabric. Winter wedding signs are also great as photo backdrops for your guests during the ceremony and reception. We love how this couple used their own family’s hand-painted sign as the backdrop for their first dance!

Winter Wedding Seating Chart

You can piece together a winter’s worth of ideas for your seating chart—just look to the elements that are associated with this season. For example:

  • A color scheme using shades of white and grey, like snow and clouds.
  • Flowers in hues like purple or burgundy that evoke frost.
  • Textures like fur or velvet that have an icy feel.
  • Symbols like icicles or snowflakes to remind guests what they’re celebrating!

Winter Bar

A winter bar is a great way to keep your guests warm and cozy. You can use a bar cart or table, depending on the space you have available. Hot cocoa, tea and coffee are always welcome options for winter weddings, but go the extra mile by adding spiked hot chocolate. Make sure you have plenty of blankets and heaters available as well!

Winter Indoor Wedding Backdrop

There are many creative ways to use a white backdrop in your winter wedding. A white backdrop can be used as the backdrop for your ceremony, or if you have a space that allows for it, it could also be used for your reception. Add some greenery and lights to create an elegant look that is sure to impress guests at your wedding reception. A wintery color palette can help bring out all of the best parts of this season!

You will also want to include snowflakes in some way or another, whether they’re hanging from the ceiling like Christmas decorations are on display at The North Pole’s local craft center where children go during their school breaks while they await Santa Claus’ arrival each December 25th morning before sunrise when families gather together around their fireplace (or fireplace-like device) while singing “Silent Night” with friends and loved ones as they reflect upon what brought them joy throughout 2017’s holiday season…

Winter Wedding Centerpieces

With winter weddings, you’ll want to use a variety of different materials for your centerpieces. One theme that can be worked into the decor is rustic and natural. This will go well with a venue like an old barn or rustic church, and it’s also very inviting to guests who may not otherwise feel comfortable at a more formal event.

  • Make sure you have real snow on hand—and maybe even artificial snow if you’re going all out! You’ll want to place this around the edges of your tables as well as use it as an accent piece in vases or other containers filled with flowers and greens.
  • Glass ornaments are another great option for winter weddings because they’re light yet durable enough not to break easily (or at least show signs of wear during cleanup). They come in so many colors that there’s definitely one that will match perfectly with whatever color scheme you’ve chosen for your wedding day.
  • Pinecones are another good choice when planning how to decorate tablescapes during winter months since they come in such vibrant shades of reds, yellows and oranges that work perfectly together with white linens or simple wooden chairs without being too distracting from what matters most: celebrating love between two people who mean everything.

Winter Wedding Bouquets

If you’re looking for a winter wedding bouquet that is unique, simple and elegant, consider using white or ivory flowers. While other flowers may be hard to find in the dead of winter, most florists can still get some beautiful blooms for you.

If you prefer something more colorful and bold, try using seasonal flowers such as poinsettias or holly berries. If you want something more traditional, go with pinecones! These are great because they come in all shapes and sizes—plus they can be found at almost any craft store! A mix of greenery will also add an elegant touch to your bouquet.

Winter Wedding Favors

Favors should be small and inexpensive. Favors for a winter wedding should include something that will remind guests of the season, like scented candles or chocolate coins. Some favors are more unique than others, such as miniature Christmas trees or mugs with monograms on them.

Here are some winter wedding favor ideas:

  • A box of chocolates in the shape of a snowflake or tree
  • Decorated votive candle holders (as pictured)
  • Miniature Christmas trees wrapped in cellophane bags tied with ribbon
