Trending Tuesdays – Winter Wedding Trends
We at Wedding and Party Network have looked around to find some inspiration for winter weddings. Here's our list of what we found.
Gold and Silver.
Use these colors separately or even together. They both add elegance to your wedding. Incorporate these colors in your bridesmaids dresses or the wedding cake. It adds a frosty feeling if you use silver or a warmth if you use gold.
Winter Colors
Green and white are the colors of winter. You can use a lot of pines (and pine cones) in the decorations for your silverware, table runners, on the chairs or just simply use them as decor at food stations. You will already use white in the dress and table linens but there are so many other ways you can implement white in the shape of snowflakes or just normal snow looking details. These are not the only colors. Green and white go great with pale pastels and complete the look, especially in a bouquet!
It’s All About Comfort
Comfort food has become a big hit when it comes to weddings. Serve comfort food as a late night snack for your guests. Also, serve comfort food as part of the actual meal in the shape of fancy mac and cheese and biscuits and gravy. To make it more fun, make your favorite comfort food in mini versions. Imagine small cheeseburgers or some cookies and milk. It’s going to be a favorite all around.
With A Scent Of Winter
During Christmas time you can always smell cinnamon and other lovely spices coming from the kitchen. Why not invite these scents and flavors to your wedding? And don't forget about the smell of pines from the Christmas tree.
We hope that this has given you some new ideas for planning your wedding this winter. Check back for more inspiration and ideas from Wedding and Party Network.

2014 Winter Wedding Trends
Even though summer has recently arrived, there is just enough time to plan for a white wedding and Wedding & Party Network has this year's most popular winter wedding trends.
Winter Wedding Colors
When brides think of a winter wedding, some may picture turquoise or light blues and silver while others go for the deep reds of Christmas. However, this year blushes of pink and tones of gold have been making their way onto the winter wedding color swatch. Consider neutral colors like greys and tans, and even pair some colors rarely seen during the season, like mint or deep purple, which go well with neutrals.
Winter Flowers
Unless you are planning on having your wedding in the snow, bring the outdoors indoors by incorporating rustic plants along with your flowers. Holly and pine needles add to the winter theme of your wedding. You can also add these plants of the season with your reception arrangements. Baby's breath can be incorporated into all your arrangements due to its likeness to snowflakes; make your bouquet full of baby's breath and it will seem as if you are holding a bundle of snow.
Wedding Decor
Make your guests smile with a little taste of winter. Set up a hot chocolate bar with jars full of marshmallows and candy canes to stir. Add other drink options like coffee or hot tea for those who aren't fans of the sweet drink. Fill apothecary vases with marshmallows of different sizes, candy canes, and small chocolates. Both guests young and old will have fun making their wintry concoction and be grateful for the warm snack. This snack serves as both food and unique decor.
Food
You can get really creative with themed goodies like gingerbread cookies for dessert and eggnog cocktails for adults. Add a twist to the famous chestnuts roasting by dipping chestnuts in chocolate and coating them with sprinkles in your wedding colors.
Favors
Anything from snowflake shaped sugar cookies to homemade hot cocoa mix can make great wedding favors for your guests. Something they would really appreciate are some gloves, mittens, or even blankets as favors, and don't wait until after the party to give them out. Have baskets filled with them near the entrance of your reception or by the hot cocoa bar. Give them a personal touch by engraving the guest's name or the wedding date. Every time they wear the gloves or cuddle with the blanket, they will have memories of the great day they shared with you.
Personalize your winter wedding with the season in mind. Check back with the Wedding & Party Network for more wedding tips and trends.
