Winter weddings

Now that winter is here, there will be many brides planning for a wonderful winter wedding. What could be nicer than a fur stole and sparkly jewellery combo with snow on the ground and the smell of Christmas in the air.

There are many colour schemes and themes that work for a winter wedding.


I really love the idea of a totally white wedding - not just the dress but the flowers too. They could be pure white roses, with some green ivy trailing down with a few dainty snow drops mixed in. Or go with the ever increasing trend of brooch bouquets which really shine in the winter sunshine. Maybe some mistletoe sprigs hanging from the door frames or even as the button holes. A must have would be a big sparkly (maybe snowflake style) tiara and a beautifully embellished dress. The groom could wear a black tuxedo style outfit with a crisp white shirt. A set of vintage ivory MR & MRS letters would look fabulous lined up along the fireplace above a roaring fire with ivy entwined around the over mantle mirror. The choices are endless – how about ‘LOVE’ in metallic silver and covered in glitter to add an extra sparkle.


Or what about a full on red and gold theme with Christmas tree’s standing to attention outside the main door and glasses of sherry to greet your guests. Twinkling fairy lights are a must!!! A daring red wedding dress with a beautiful bouquet of Ivory roses, or a gold wedding dress with bright red flowers to match Swags of holly on each picture frame and over the mirror would look stunning. Make sure you get ones with plenty of red berries on. Friends and family might have them in their garden so you won’t have to pay florist prices for these!! Instead of flowers for the centrepieces, vases could be filled with red and gold baubles which will glisten under the candle light. Wrap the favour boxes in red and gold wrapping paper and make them look like little Christmas presents. Maybe some miniature liqueurs would go down well inside! Here at Love Letters we have a choice of gold letters – gold leaf or antique gold. We can do any red that you can think from pillar box to burgundy. Imagine your new surname sparkling on the fireplace.


For an extra sparkle how about some diamante covered letters spelling out the word ‘AMOUR’. These really glisten in any light.
