As winter approaches, the wedding industry sees a magical transformation in trends that resonate with the season’s charm. From snowy backdrops to cozy indoor ceremonies, winter weddings encapsulate a unique blend of elegance and warmth. This year promises an array of captivating winter wedding trends that cater to both traditional tastes and contemporary aesthetics. Whether you’re a bride-to-be, a wedding planner, or simply a wedding enthusiast, immerse yourself in the top winter wedding trends for this season and discover inspiration for a celebration that’s both memorable and enchantingly wintry.
1. Frozen-Inspired Themes
Drawing inspiration from the movie “Frozen,” icy blues (for men’s shirts, for instance) and silvers dominate the color palette. Crystal decor, snowflake motifs, and Elsa-inspired bridal gowns are all the rage.
2. Velvet Accents
Velvet is making a comeback. From invitations wrapped in velvet to bridesmaids’ dresses and table runners, its plush texture adds a touch of luxury and warmth to winter weddings.
3. Greenery with a Wintery Touch
Instead of traditional floral arrangements, more couples are opting for a darker color palette and greenery adorned with a frosty touch or sprinkled with faux snow for a winter wonderland vibe.
4. Faux & Vintage Fur Stoles for Brides
Keeping with the winter theme, brides are choosing faux fur, or vintage (upcycling is another trend) fur stoles to keep warm, adding a classic and elegant touch to their bridal attire.
5. Candle-Lit Ceremonies & Receptions
The soft glow of candles provides a romantic ambiance. Many couples are choosing to have their ceremonies and receptions lit almost entirely by candles, creating a cozy and intimate setting.
6. Hot Beverage Bars
Move over traditional cocktail bars. Hot beverage stations offering cocoa, spiced cider, and mulled wine are becoming a favorite for guests looking to warm up.
7. Winter Berry & Woodland Accents
Incorporating winter berries and pinecones into bouquets, centerpieces, and even hairpieces adds a pop of color and a touch of the season’s natural beauty.
8. Snow Boots and Warm Accessories
Brides and bridesmaids are making a fashion statement with stylish snow boots, capes, caplets, and more. Couples are also gifting warm mittens or scarves to their bridal party.
9. Ethereal Snowy Photography
Couples are braving the cold to get those magical snowy shots. Photographers are capitalizing on natural winter landscapes to capture enchanting moments.
10. Comfort Food with Gourmet Twists
Think mac ‘n’ cheese bites, gourmet soup shooters, or mini pot pies. Serving comfort food with an elegant twist is becoming a must-have for winter wedding menus. Even for the cake!
These trends blend the charm of winter with the romance of weddings, ensuring a memorable experience for both the couple and their guests.
