Most people tend to plan weddings in the sunny summer or bright spring sunshine especially if they have outdoor weddings in mind. However, a winter wedding can be just as magical and beautiful and perhaps even more lovely for the cold weather and light snow sets the scene for a beautiful and romantic wedding. Winter weddings are almost always indoors so it is a great excuse to have a more formal wedding in a beautiful hall or manor. Read on below for great colour combinations for your winter wedding.
Luxurious Red Wedding Colours
Red is bold, sexy and glamorous in a winter wedding. It lends a warm inviting air against a backdrop of white falling snow and adds a touch of luxury to your wedding.
Pair it with gold and cream for a rich colour combination. Ideas include having red napkins against a cream table cloth, having bursts of red poinsettias around the room for a beautiful setting, gold chair tie-backs, a single red rose on each place setting or gold beaded organza table overlays for a luxurious finish.
Wedding Planning Tip: If you’re Chinese and planning a winter wedding in red and gold, your choice of colours will certainly get the nod of approval from elder family members!
Cool Winter Wedding Colours
Light blue and silver captures the essence of winter in an elegant and cool combination. It looks amazing in a formal setting with chandeliers and adds sparkle to a formal occasion.
Silver and blue is a lovely colour combination that is easily replicated with silver napkin holders, layering a blue table cloth with a silvery organza overlay or using a pretty combination of blue and silver for your chair backs.
Wedding Planning Tip: Hang silver sparkling balls or Christmas decorations you can pick up cheap before Christmas for that extra sparkle to your wedding.
White Winter Wedding Colours
Recreate your own winter wonderland in your wedding reception with pristine white as your wedding colour combination. White adds an air of purity to your reception and can be so easily accentuated with silver or gold to create a stunning combination.
Use snowy white table cloths and white tableware with a pretty silver edge, tie big white bows behind your chairs and create an elegant centrepiece with white branches for that perfect finish.
Wedding Planning Tip: Add to the glamour of your white wedding with white roses or lilies with a pretty touch of green.
Don’t forget to add candles to create a warm and soft glow to top off your wonderful winter wedding! Simple but beautiful!
With Love,
