Rustic Winter Wedding Decorations and Ideas
Design a color palate of bold and rich colors
Bold colors offer a richness and warmth that are perfectly suited for the winter, especially if you have snow on your wedding day. Think cranberries and deep reds that contrast nicely against white, as well as elegant golds and dense neutrals.
Embrace the cold and snow
If there is snow on your wedding day, consider yourself lucky! Snow in wedding photos is absolutely gorgeous. Be sure to prepare with warm layers and even mittens or gloves to use in photos.
Use wood and natural elements as decor
Wood, pinecones, birchwood, or even twigs are beautiful decor pieces for a winter wedding. This theme evokes cozy thoughts of a cabin in the forest, which is both romantic and elegant. Wood and natural elements also feel warm and inviting.
Warmth of candles and lanterns
Candles and lanterns offer a fire element that mimics a fireplace and feels very romantic for a winter affair. Consider using candles as centerpieces, which is also more budget friendly than floral arrangements.
Serve cozy cocktails and hot beverages
Make sure your guests don’t get cold during the night by serving hot beverages like apple cider, mulled wine, and hot chocolate. You could even consider a hot chocolate bar for your dessert table!
