Winter Wedding Reception
A Whimsical Fantasy
A winter wedding reception should wow your guests and make them forget about the cold weather!
From the way you decorate the reception hall to the foods you serve, everything adds up when creating your own winter wonderland.
Hosting the always elegant but also captivating winter theme sometimes makes some brides wonder: How can I personalize my wedding?
What do I do to impress my guests with something they haven’t seen anywhere else before?
Let's create the charm that will make everyone go from saying it’s cold to it’s cool!
Setting the Scene
An original way to impress your guests is by using an original place card holder.
The use of fresh fruits or nature elements will really make a difference.
For example if red is your complimentary color, you could easily place a fresh apple on top of the plate as a unique place card holder.
All you need to do is tie your guest name written in a card with a thread or ribbon to the fruit stem and : Voila! Mission accomplished.
Maybe fresh fruit doesn’t fit your theme, but you can use the same technique with other items, such as pine cones, extra small white pumpkins, etc.
If you want to personalize it even more, you can spray paint these items in gold or silver to fit your theme.
Feathers, anyone?
Another way to create an enchanted winter scene is by using feathers.
Adding white feathers to your centerpiece or flower arrangement will give your winter wedding a sophisticated touch.
You can also use a feather as a detail on your napkin ring.
Just tie a silky ribbon in your preferred color around the napkin and place the feather in between the napkin and the ribbon.
The drinks
If you plan on serving drinks at your winter wedding reception, this is another area where you can personalize your event.
From choosing a specialty drink or cocktail , to a warm spice wine, you can really amaze everyone with your selection.
If you are serving cold drinks only and you will have dim lights at your venue, you should definitely serve them in an light up glasses .
The great part: they can double serve as souvenirs.
Back to Childhood
Do you remember those cold days getting back from school and playtime to happily find a cup of sweet cocoa waiting for you?
Then why not, to take your guests back in time for a few minutes?
A sweet and creative way to indulge everyone is to serve at the end of your reception a cup of Hot cocoa.
You can compliment these travel back to childhood treat by serving it with a tray of mini marshmallows, cookies and or cake.
Fancy packets of hot cocoa or cappuccino are great wedding favors that will fit any winter wedding theme.
Let your imagination run wild and enjoy your day!
