6 Winter Wedding Trends

Today We Become One • August 4, 2022

Getting ready to tie the know at the end of the year. Here are 6 Winter Wedding Trends to consider for your Big Day!
Spring and Summer Weddings are finding competition with the Winter Wedding Trend!
Over the past few years, this seasonal timeframe has been, for a good reason, making its way into couple's top "I Do" dates.

The colder months add a unique, romantic, and old-fashioned charm to any celebration, but weddings, in particular, take advantage of nature's added aesthetics to make a couple's dream come true.

Velvet

In the colder setting of a winter wedding, Bridesmaid Dresses, Linens, and accent fabrics demand a rich focus like only velvet can provide. 

Nearly exclusive for this seasonal scene, velvet is a bold and fun choice that will add so much to the overall look and feel of the event. 

All-White Bouquets

A timeless classic that works perfectly for the winter season is the use of an all-white floral bouquet.
Not only complementary to the season, but it also adds a certain sophistication to the celebration.

Capes

Why should Superheroes have all the fun? A dashing bridal cape or faux fur accent helps with the chill of a winter wedding evening, and in the fashion world, you can't go wrong with this end-of-the-year accessory.

Nature

Let Mother Nature be your decorator for the Special Day. With snow-covered branches or white-capped mountains, wedding photos will be something out of a fairy-tale romance novel.

Using the unique elements left over from fall and present in winter, this natural decor style is one you and your guests won't soon forget.

Candles

While used at many weddings, picture a candle-lined snowbank as the aisle you walk down to meet your partner to start the ceremony. 

Beautiful and practical, especially in winter, let candles pervade throughout your decor scheme to warm the air and the hearts of those attending your ceremony.

Classic Colors

Put the trendy, unique color pallets to the side during this season. The greatest compliment to a winter wedding celebration is the incorporation of the more classic combinations.

Simple is key, with black and whites, creams and browns, greens, and dark reds. Let your colors accent what the season has already put together for your outdoor venue.

A wedding joins two people and often two family histories. For some couples, Día de los Muertos offers a meaningful way to remember loved ones who helped shape those histories. A thoughtful tribute starts with listening. Día de los Muertos carries deep cultural meaning, and practices differ among families and communities. Ask relatives closest to the tradition how they would like to take part. Learn the meaning behind each element, then build a ceremony around your family’s wishes.

Planning a celebration of life takes care, patience, and support. You may be making decisions while grieving. You may also be helping family members with different wishes. Start with one simple question: How would you like to remember your loved one together? A celebration of life gives your family room to answer this question in a personal way. The gathering may take place in a chapel, private home, park, or favorite desert location. The service may include prayer, music, stories, photos, cultural traditions, or quiet reflection. There is no single right format. Your loved one’s story should guide the day.

Your ceremony should reflect your relationship, your values, and your plans. Some couples want a legal wedding with a marriage license. Others want a meaningful commitment ceremony without changing their legal status. Some couples choose both at different points in their lives. Every option holds value. The core difference comes down to legal paperwork. A legal wedding creates a recognized marriage. A commitment ceremony celebrates your relationship without creating legal marital status.

Wedding etiquette used to come with a long list of expectations. Who paid - Who stood where - What everyone wore - Which traditions were considered “essential.” But many of those rules were created for a very different time and a very different idea of what a wedding should look like.

Music can transform a wedding ceremony from a series of planned moments into an experience everyone feels.
