Winter is a festive and whimsical time for a wedding. Even if you have a blistering cold blizzard outside, you can still have a romantic, warm and inviting wedding reception indoors. When planning a winter wonderland wedding, you will want to use the season as inspiration for your decorations, flowers, wedding cake, and even the menu you serve. Remember to keep things elegant, classy, but also add in some of your own personality. After all, it is still your wedding. The winter wedding traditionally sticks to icy blues, whites, silvers, and golds; and then pairs it with a vibrant color or two. If you are unsure of how to decorate for your winter wedding, here are just a few ideas:

Winter Flower Arrangements
Flowers are an important part of the wedding, but also the most expensive, especially in the winter. When hosting a winter wedding, try to get flowers that are still in season or are easily grown through winter, such as roses. Pair roses with greenery, such as ferns, eucalyptus, or pine cones if you can. The more greenery you use as fillers, the less you have to worry about the high cost of the flowers itself. Purchase ivory, white, or deep red roses, and pair them with your greenery. When using pine cones, have them custom sprayed with silver, white, or gold luster paint. This can easily be done by yourself if you are looking for a DIY project.

Centerpieces
When you think of winter, you think of cool, clean colors. Keep your centerpieces cool with clear glass vases filled with crystals or pearls in a white or icy blue color. Fill them with flowers and dangle large strands of pearls or crystals from each centerpiece. Topiaries are also popular for winter wonderland weddings, because often they remind people of Christmas trees. Purchase white or traditional green topiaries and decorate them with silver, blue and white snowflakes, ornaments, or just ribbon. If you are looking for something simpler, fill large silver or white trays with pine cones and candles.

Winter Wedding Table Decorations
You should keep your table decorations elegant, but still festive. Use a neutral or pastel colored tablecloth, such as icy blue, white, or ivory. Use a vibrantly colored table runner for your accent such as deep red or green. Decorate your table with faux snowflakes and a lot of candles. Use chinaware that is accented with gold or silver etching. For place cards, find holders that are in the shapes of snowflakes, stars, or at least match the colors of the overall wedding reception. Tie off napkins with snowflake napkin rings or strands of tinsel.

Wedding Cake
The winter wonderland wedding cake is one of the easiest decorations out there. Keep it simple, but you still want to match your wonderland whimsical feel. A few ideas could be an icy blue cake with white and silver sugar snowflakes on each tier. Another idea is a white cake surrounded by deep red and white roses and sparkling silver fondant ribbon borders. Top off your cake with a snowflake or winter scenery topper, or just keep it simple with a floral bouquet.
