Winter weddings in our opinion are as fabulous as summer weddings. Just because the weather is likely to be a bit ‘British’ there’s absolutely no reason not to organise your winter wedding dream. If you want to guarantee to add sparkle and glamour to your wedding reception then look no further than our top 10 ideas for winter weddings.

1. Make it shimmer with sparklers. They’re a low cost way to add pizzazz to the party and mini sparklers for the cake and to act as wedding table decorations are cheaper than you might think.

2. Have a winter white wedding theme. White isn’t just for summer, use white flowers for your bouquet and displays and add silver or gold to add festive sparkle.

3. Send your guests sparkling invites as to set the tone for your celebration with your stationary. Your guest’s first indication to your wedding theme can come from the invitation, so make it distinctive and beautiful and set it apart from any other wedding invite they may have received. Opt for seasonal shapes with laser cut invitations or select something traditional with some added table confetti in gold or silver stars.

4. At the wedding play magical music instead of playing the traditional wedding hymns. Festive carols make for something unique. To keep in theme you can also make sure first dance to a Christmas ballad!

5. Finding the perfect winter venue locations with large hall, ballroom or dining room works better than marquees due to the outdoor weather conditions. These fantastic venues can be large manor houses or castles, grand hotels or period houses. The wedding venue can sometimes be one of the longest lasting memories so choosing the perfect venue is key to the success of your winter wedding.

6. Prepare for the weather which during winter months can be cold, raining or snowing. Make sure you have a few emergency items in case it starts raining when you’re walking from the car to the ceremony or reception. A coat which will go over your dress and an umbrella are the basics.

7. Choose luxurious colours for your bridesmaid dresses. Burgundy or deep purple are traditional but gold, silver or emerald green makes for something a little more unique, yet keeping in perfect style.

8. Staying seasonal with your flowers is a clever way to cut costs as it will be cheaper to buy in season flowers whilst keeping the authenticity of the wedding theme alive. Mix your flowers with Christmassy foliage such as ivy, holly or mistletoe.

9. Giving your guests wedding favours is a tradition that the majority of couples keep within. Making your own winter wedding favours is one option but buying wedding favours for your winter wedding shouldn’t cost too much and it will keep within the theme of your wedding.

10. Dress up your table with sparkling and shiny table confetti and shimmering table crystals. A few packs of confetti and table crystals keep the costs down for your wedding budget and give a stylish finish to your wedding tables.
