It’s late Sept now so I’m sure some of you are busy planning your winter wedding now.  Here’s some ideas that might help you set the mood.  For part of the world, it will be warm during your winter wedding (like those in Florida, Australia, Central America, etc) but it doesn’t mean you can’t capture the dreamy “winter wonderland” feel to it.  All you need are some little frosty touches!

1. TASTE!  Pick a cake and some dishes that remind people of WINTER?  How can a flavor remind you of winter you ask?  Rich dark flavors like caramel, spice, butterscotch and mint all remind people of Christmas and threfore relating it to winter!  Pick a MINTY flavored desert to finish off; it doesn’t need to be a mega mint blast but what about a rich chocolate minth cake?  Or a nice warm pudding?  No need to go Christmas Dinner all the way but some of the comfoting elements can go a long way.

 2.  COLOR THEME!  Light icy blues, white with chocolate browns and rich reds.  All colors that remind us of cozy winters and nights cuddled up by the fireplace. 

3. ADD ON TOUCHES!   Winter inspired shapes are the easiest way to convey the winter theme.  Snowflakes, the most obvious one, can be used for doilies, sugar snowflakes on the cake, and cutout decorations.  Poinsettas and holly can be strung up and used to accentuate the table centerpieces and room.   Gathered pinecones from the ground, splatter the ends with clear glue and roll them in fake snow or white glitter would be a wonderful table accent.
