Menswear Style: Black Velvet Tuxedo by Midnight Blue with a green velvet bow tie
Deep green ribbons, luxurious lace, elegant white florals, a Victorian inspired venue, a black velvet tuxedo…yup this is everything we wanted a winter season wedding to be. Tis the season after all, and if you were planning on having your own winter wonderland extravaganza then this is the blog post for you! There are a few major things that should be in a winter inspired wedding and we are here to break some of them down:
The Invitations:
They should touch on one (or all of the following colors) green, red, white, gold, or silver. Now this is not to say they need to be a white invitation with Christmas lights and trees on them, but they need to give the feeling of the season. Such as these stunning invitations by Roseville Designs, the white with shades of green watercolor and a deep evergreen writing that matches the envelopes perfectly expresses the winter design of the wedding.
The Venue:
For the venue you want it to exude a winter oasis. No is some of the country that might be hard, such as our headquarters here in sunny SoCal (last December was mostly 75 degrees and sunny) but your venue must one or all of the following: white walls, brick walls/accents, plenty of windows and natural lighting, chandeliers, and/or gardens or some type place to set up twinlking lights! Luckily for us, this venue had all of these!
The Florals:
The flowers, centerpieces, bouquets, ceremony décor all need to have a clear and present vision of winter. This means white and green flowers, wreaths, pinecones, garlands, tree branches, ext. Throw some holly and mistletoe and you got yourself a party! We are just in love with how Sibyl Sophia Floral Design decorated this design to create the perfect winter wonderland vibe!
The Fashion:
The last thing major to keep in mind is the fashion! We are in love with how this bride wore a trumpet style white gown with an illusion neckline and low cut back, decorated with lace and antique satin buttons. Her look makes her seem like a real live version of Elsa (yes, we watch Frozen here- don’t act like you don’t). The groom wore one of our favorite styles: the black peak lapel tuxedo. This style is sophisticated and elegant, while still having a touch of trendy. We paired his look with a burgundy long tie for the perfect formal touch.
We hope this helped you in your quest to plan the most magical winter wedding ever! If you need any styling advice, do not hesitate to reach out to us on our contact page or on our social media channels. We are always happy to talk through any ideas with you!
