Wonderful Winter Weddings! Ideas for the winter wedding season…
Winter weddings – certainly, winter is the quietest season for weddings. That is to say, our figures show that only about 10% of weddings take place between November and February. However, it can easily be the most beautiful season – especially if you’re lucky enough to get snow! Ok, the chances of getting real snow on an English winter wedding day are pretty slim, but Magnolia Wildflower Petal Confetti can do a pretty good job of recreating the snowy day feel for you.
Similarly, clear skies and frosty views can make for the most stunning photographs and provide a wonderful backdrop for your confetti moment.
A winter wedding is a great way to brighten up miserable November weekend or chilly January day. Your friends and family will love it! Moreover, you will probably get the pick of venues, caterers and photographers who are booked up in the summer for years ahead.
Christmas weddings can be the best – we have a dedicated Christmas Confetti Collection with the most festive mixes and colours right HERE.
Now is a great time to order your winter wedding confetti, so here’s a run through of the best ideas, colours and confetti combinations for your wintry big day…
Colour Palettes
The season need not dictate your colours at all, and in fact the best way to warm up a winter wedding day would be with bright and colourful décor and details. However, you can also choose to embrace the cool, muted and sometimes even sparkly hues of a winter’s day.
Natural themes:
Neutral colours and detailing like leaves, logs, branches and berries work really well in winter. In other words, when seasonal flowers are scarce, why not embrace the natural features that are abundant? It’s much more sustainable than airfreighted blooms. Evergreen foliage, twigs, teasels and pinecones all make for fabulous venue decorations, bouquets and dressings.
Cream and Ivory Confetti Petals make for classy confetti photos and will stand out perfectly against a more muted winter background.
Cool and Crisp:
Alternatively, a frosty palette of white, accented with crisp blue, cool pink or a sparkle of silver, is perfect for a chic and modern winter wedding.
Pure white dresses, for example, are a wonderful contrast to grey wintry skies! Our new Snow-White Rose Petals would be a good choice if you are embracing the white theme. On the other hand, confetti is a great way to add a little more colour, and our new Winter Wonderland Wildflower Confetti would add a splash of icy blue to the happy moment.
Winter Reds:
Perhaps the most classic winter wedding colour theme is red. It’s hard to beat red roses at a winter wedding! Rich and warm colours make everyone feel a little cosier, and luxurious textures like velvet are a beautiful contrast to the chill outdoors. Reds, burgundy and gold, clarets and creams, are all lovely options. In terms of confetti you could consider our Red & Cream Small Natural Rose Petals, Ruby Twist mix, or of course, simple red rose petals.
