There's nothing quite like waking up to a winter wonderland with a fresh dusting of snow outside your window! Want to bring the season into your wedding without having Jack Frost nip at your nose? We have a few ideas...it starts with a sophisticated all-white color scheme.
Bouquets, aisle adornments and even your wedding arch can be dancing with flowers. White roses, peonies and tulips are ever stylish and we especially love Lisianthus with their delicately ruffled petals for an elegant backdrop. This fits perfectly with formal celebrations; and we know from our recent interview with Ann and Andrew Payne, General Knot & Co. founders, that there has been a distinct uptick in black-tie weddings!
Bridesmaids as well as the bride dressed in white will provide an unexpected yet oh-so-chic contrast to the black-tie ensembles of the groom and groomsmen.
To bring this enchanting winter-wonderland indoors, complement the white florals with matching linens, shimmering silver vases, crystal candlesticks and lucite accents. The sheer and metallic decorations will highlight every detail to create an idyllic winter landscape.
While outdoor photography may require slightly more logistical planning, the resulting images set against a gorgeous natural backdrop can be breathtaking.
We can't wait to see what you dream up, please do share your lovely images with us!
White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown. Select this lovely little link to read an in-depth article featured in Brides that highlights the history of Queen Victoria’s choice to wear a white wedding dress.
Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
