Monsoon Wedding

While June remains the popular time for tying the knot, a wedding in winter can be equally alluring, thrilling and cinematic. The clean, crisp air, the flickering snow and the festive, holiday mood are all the contributing elements that make your winter wedding an exquisite affair.

If you plan a theme for your wedding, it is simple to choose and coordinate colors, right from your attire to the decoration, making your choices easier.The themes for winter wedding may include Christmas, Snowflake or it can also be Winter Wonderland. A Christmas wedding theme would of course employ a color scheme of red and green. If you choose Winter Wonderland as your theme, then you can go for the frosty white shades or silver.

The venue for your winter wedding can range from a traditional church to a country inn, a banquet hall or it can as well be your warm, cozy home.While planning for the invitations, keep in mind the color scheme. Do not forget to mention the dress code according to your planned theme.  You can make snowy white invitation cards or navy blue cards that feature engraved snowflakes.

The wedding venue can be decorated based on your theme. Bunches of red and green balloons or white and blue balloons can really look appealing. A draping of contrast colored fabrics would definitely look elegant. Or an all white draping can create a semblance of snow. You can use velvet, tulle or satin fabrics. Centerpieces like cute snow globes or candles surrounded with floral wreaths or miniature evergreen trees are bound to catch ones attention.

Pure white always remains the color of choice for bridal gowns. Since it’s a winter wedding, brides can go for white fur stoles or can even try a white cashmere cape draped over the shoulders. Wear silver or platinum jewelry and put on a pretty tiara over the hair.

While choosing the menu, go for the delicacies like baked ham, mashed potatoes with gravy, beefed stew macaroni and cheese. Your wedding cake can be an all-white cake or you can garnish it with berries made from frosting.

You can express your gratitude towards your guests by means of wedding favors. A bundle of soft candies in colorful tulle, packet of ciders or scented candles are ideal as wedding favors.

You can make your winter wedding such that it would remain etched in everyone’s memory for a long time.
