Winter at the Landmark
Having your wedding during the upcoming winter season? Now's the time to start planning! Keep in mind that a winter wedding doesn't need to mean snowflakes, pinecones and Christmas themed decor. Use these 10 new winter wedding ideas from The Knot to reinvent your winter wedding!
1. Colors
Go for a less-is-more color palette with white and silver.
Add glamour with crystal accents.
2. Flowers
Use fuller flowers such as white hydrangeas and soft ranunculuses.
White boutonnieres accented with greenery or a simple white ribbon.
Wrap bouquet stems in ribbon embellished with crystals.
3. Invitations
For a black-tie event: heavy cardstock and a navy blue, chocolate-brown, or eggplant font with hand calligraphy.
For a fresh, formal tone: thick, frosted Plexiglas invitations in white scripted ink. Send tucked into silver envelope liners.
4. Centerpieces
Bring in the icy outdoors with ice-carved vases filled with tall winter-white branches and hanging crystals to reflect the light from the tables. Surround the centerpieces with votive candles, and top your tables with white dupioni table linens and frosted glass china.
5. Escort Cards
Hand-calligraphed in silver ink attached with ribbon to individual crystals. Hang each from an oversized crystal candelabra centerpiece for a new take on the escort card tree.
6. Music
Consider a capella quartet to sing your favorite jazz and pop songs for the evening, or for a more classical sound, hire a cellist.
7. Cocktail Hour
Serve white hot chocolate in small espresso cups and eggnog in small punch glasses.
At the bar: Saketinis (Japanese rice wine and sweet-flavored vodka) in glasses rimmed with sugar crystals
8. The Cake
A white, vintage-style cake, dusted with edible silver powder.
For accent: add a white sugar ribbon and crystal drops cascading down one side of the cake.
9. Favors
Keep it simple with small packages of chocolate-covered cranberries or roasted chestnuts.
Over-the-top idea: impress with a hot chocolate and churros station at your reception.
10. Honeymoons
Embrace the season! Rent a cozy log cabin for a week in Lake Placid, or stay at a luxurious hotel in Aspen for some serious skiing, wining, dining, and snuggling.
