Winter is often thought of as cold and gloomy, but for many couples, the chilly season is associated with the romance of sitting by the fireplace, drinking hot chocolate, having lovely walks in the snow, and skating in the park. Why not bring the allure of winter to your wedding ceremony and reception? Winter is very often overlooked as a wonderful season to have your wedding, so let us help you see why it might just be perfect for you!
Winter Invitation Designs
Start planning your wedding by picking personalized winter wedding invitations. The wedding invitation is the first glimpse into the wedding for all of your guests. Picking the right invite can set the tone for all of the decorations and accessories for the big day.
Winter Forest Wedding Designs
Embrace the winter season with a beautiful winter forest design; this is a fantastic way to give your guests a better idea of what to expect for your wedding, and how to prepare. Not many things conjure up thoughts of winter quite like forest and mountain landscapes!
Winter Foil Design
Add a bit of glitz and glam to your winter wedding by having your invitations shine with real foil on your cards. Your guests will be surprised by this unique detail on your invitations!
Winter Flowers
Picking all the small details for a wedding can be hard, so save yourself a little stress by having your invitations match the flowers you love so very much. Or you can be inspired by a beautiful invitation to choose flowers you didn’t know you wanted.
Romantic Red
One color that’s perfect for the winter season is a deep, romantic red. A red will work throughout Christmas, and will even suit a New Year wedding. You can use this as the primary color for your wedding by introducing it on your invitations.
Buffalo Check
A classic winter design is the black and red buffalo check: many use it for their Christmas decorations, and it would make for a fun look on your tables. It’s a fantastic option to have as table runners and ribbons on all of the bouquets.
Christmas Wedding Invitations
Christmas is the season for getting together with the whole family, so why not bring them together for a special occasion like your wedding? By having the wedding around Christmas, you’ll ensure that your loved ones and your new spouse will never forget the wedding anniversary.
All-In-One Winter Wedding Invitations
Send your guests all the information they need with the details of the wedding and a built-in RSVP card. It’ll take the trouble out of trying to find matching stationery, and that’ll be invitations checked off your list!
Winter Wedding Stationery Ideas
Make your invitations special with a few extra details. Go above and beyond to impress your guests, by including little details that they’ll remember and talk about for years.
Wax Seals
Elevate your invitations with your own custom wax stamp. You can personalize it with the initials of the bride & groom, a snowflake, or even a ‘Merry Christmas.’ Your guests will crack the seal on their wedding envelope to then see the beautiful winter wedding invitation inside!
Winter Wedding Envelopes
Find an envelope that complements the design on your invitations. By doing this, you’ll make all of your stationery look cohesive, and well-thought-out. Choose envelopes that are either the same color as your invitations or have the same design inserted on the inside of the envelope. Your envelope could be buffalo plaid, a snowy winter design, snowflakes, or even a mixture of Christmassy colors, like red and green.
Wedding Attire Cards
A new trend is to send not only a details card with the invitation, but also a wedding attire card. These cards provide colors for your guests to choose from that’ll match the theme of your wedding.
Wedding Decor for a Winter Wedding
Winter Wedding Favors
It’s always important to thank your guests for coming to your wedding. Create personalized wedding favors that your guests will be happy to take home with them. You can add the date of your wedding, the names of the bride & groom, and maybe the location of the wedding.
Floor Decals
Leave no section of your wedding or reception venue untouched: add a floor decal that your guests can walk on, and they’ll feel like they’re part of a movie! You can put your name and winter floral designs on the decals.
Winter Wedding Signs
If your reception is in a very large location, it’s important that your guests know where to go and where to sit. With a sign, you can guide your loved ones every step of the way.
Winter Wedding Programs
Many people think a program is an unnecessary expense, but it can help guests who may not know many people at the wedding, giving them something to talk about with other attendees.
Table Number Cards
Help your guests know which table to sit at with custom table number cards. You can make each table number card unique to the bride and groom with an image of them throughout the years.
Unique Winter Collections
Want to check off all your stationery needs at once? Our collections allow you to do just that! Fulfill your winter wedding dreams by having the same snowflake, winter greenery, or forest scene replicated across your Save the Dates, invitations, programs, seating charts, and thank you cards.
Silver Blue Snowflake
Snow only falls in the cold of winter, and just like the soon-to-be-married couple, each snowflake is unique. Each piece of wedding stationery will have a design that looks like fallen snow, matching your white or light blue color scheme.
Timber Grove
A winter forest can be a beautiful place to get married. With the trees surrounding you, a crips winter air softly blowing and winter greenery in every bouquet. Provide your guests with an idea of where you’re getting married with a wedding collection of trees.
Holiday Greenery Watercolor
Boughs of holly are seen as a part of a traditional aspect of Christmas, so if you’re having your wedding in December, then this is the wedding collection for you! You and your family will ‘deck the halls’ late into the night.
With the ‘whoosh’ of a cold breeze through the trees, the days getting shorter, and snow falling slowly, it’ll be winter before you know it. Your wedding day will be filled with the romance and magic of winter, illuminated by flickering candlelight, and concluded by time spent together, wrapped up in blankets alongside the fireplace.
Hopefully, these winter wedding ideas will help inspire you when you are putting the finishing touches to your wedding plans! If you’re still not convinced that winter is the season for you, why check out “Should You Have a Winter Wedding”? Very soon you’ll be looking for snow and hot chocolate.
