Winter Wedding Inspirations

Because Christmas is near, I am posting some inspirations for a winter wedding. Too bad it doesn't snow where I am now, but having a winter theme for a wedding can still be achieved in the details. From the wedding dress, to invitations and wedding favors, a touch of winter can help pull off this theme, with or without snow.

The wedding dress: It can still be a sweetheart neckline but throw over a fur shawl to protect you from the cold. You can always remove it later when you are in a warmer room.

The bridesmaids: You got to keep them from freezing too!

The invites: Choose colors, fonts and graphics that give your guests the winter feel.

The drinks: It would be nice if your guests can sip a cup of hot chocolate, tea or coffee upon arriving at your reception. Don't forget the peppermint straw!

The cake: Keep it simple and sweet.

The favors: Pino cone fire starters would do the trick!

Whoever said you can't get married during winter?

Flip Flops for the Bride

It would be fun to change into comfortable flip flops once it's time for the wedding reception! Who says you have to dance all night in those uncomfortable heels? These slippers are a pretty alternative and which you can easily create--you can personalize them even as gifts to your bridesmaids. It can be your wedding favors too, especially if you are having a barn, garden or beach wedding! Check out these inspirations:

Try out these items. A soap bar with crafty decors printed with words and quotes. Or give them away a CD with your favorite songs. It would also be fun to give away playing cards. Of course, packaging here is the key--make sure you pack the favors in a way that it blends well with your entire wedding theme. Here are some inspirations:
