Winter Wedding Wonderland

Winter weddings are synonymous with "wonder" and "romance". To create a winter wonderland for your special event, pay attention to details that will bring your event to another level and will have your guests gasping in awe.

Colors are a big part of any event. To translate the beauty of winter, a mixture of gold, silver and metallic colors create a gorgeous palette for any event. White is always great for winter-themed events, but to add something special, incorporate some metallic place settings, or alternating overlays in silver and gold.

Lighting can make or break an event, setting the mood for the night. Candles, chandeliers and up-lighting can add more to your decor than you may think. Add some coziness with some candlesticks in crystal candlestick holders, or cool down the decor with some unique chandeliers.

Don't limit yourself to satin and polycotton linens. Incorporate fur, sequin and suede into your decor. Using fur as your table-runner or as your chair covers is a small change that adds an elegant look to your event.

Where To Seat the Married Couple?

This question is more common than most believe. There are multiple seating options and couples do not have to feel forced to do the traditional long table with the entire bridal party. Here are a few  options:

Sweet Heart Table
Very Modern. The bride and groom sits here in perfect view of their family and loved ones as toasts occur.

Estate Seating
This is for the bride and groom who want a more intimate dining experience with their guest with this "family style" seating. The bride and groom tend to sit in the middle, reserved by cute signs.

Square Table Seating
In my opinion, this is a perfect choice for the couple who don't want to be separate from the guests, but do not want the long tables. The square tables are perfect seating for the bride, groom, the parents, the best man and maid of honor. 

Traditional Long Table
This is the most common seating style. The bride and groom sit with their wedding party on either side.

Budget Survival Tip: Florals - Hydrangea

Flowers are a major part of most wedding décor. It is in every room, in every ceremony, and in every guests eyesight. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars on large centerpieces completely covered in roses, or orchids. A great way to save some money without skimping on beauty is using hydrangea. Hydrangea not only gives fullness to a centerpiece, bouquet or any décor, but it is less expensive and comes in a variety of colors. You can always find hydrangea year-round. Adding roses, orchids, succulents, or ranunculus to a bouquet of hydrangea creates a stunning composition that will look like a thousand bucks to all of your guests.
