Design Concept: Winter Weddings













There is something so beautiful and so special about winter weddings. I think often we can be all too eager to opt for a summer date because we're counting on the (super unreliable) weather when a winter wedding would be just as beautiful and a fraction of the cost.

Very often the colour palette of choice for a winter wedding is red. Now don't get me wrong, this is stunning but because I think it's important to break the mould, the colour palette for this board is something a little different. Try rich greens and eggplant purple to retain the luxury and warmth of that ever-popular red but is something just a little bit different. I can already hear guests gasping with amazement at the Jim Hjelm bridesmaids dresses in that beautiful shade of green. I find this Ines Di Santo wedding gown to be so romantic and with a fur shawl to make it complete is just perfect!

As for the rest of the wedding I see a modern venue just like the fabulous Carlu in Toronto, a rich chocolate truffle cake, a roaring fire and a twinkling (but ever so chic) Christmas tree. As for flowers I'd pick something like the beautiful Anenomies pictured above and team them with winter berries to keep the winter/Christmas feel going.
