Wedding Style Series: Whimsical Winter Wedding Trends

winter-wedding-venue-trend-grey-1

From the snowy winter landscapes and icy blue hues, to the wintry decor and holiday music, winter weddings are whimsical in every way imaginable. While there’s nothing wrong with the traditional red and green seasonal decor, there are several other festive colors and trends that you can use to spruce up your winter wedding. 

Captivating Color Scheme

Gray + Dusty Blue

These cool tone hues are the perfect color combo to create a delicate wintery aesthetic. The dusty blue emulates the Christmas and holiday tones without being overly festive. If you want to feel like you’re walking through a dreamy winter wonderland, then this is your color scheme.

Chocolate Brown + Dark Wine

If you’re looking to bring some warmth to your frosty festivities, then try this deep chocolate brown and dark wine palette to add a pop of color and dimension. We love how these moody and earthy tones are able to create a subtle twist on the traditional holiday elements. If you love color but don’t want to go full red, then we suggest hues like burgundy, merlot, or crimson!

Dresses

Faux Fur

A Faux-Fur cape is the perfect way to layer up and keep yourself warm during your winter wedding. Faux-fur is cozy, chic, glamorous, and will not take away from the beauty of your dream dress. 

Long Sleeves

If you’re like most Texans and you’re sensitive to the cooler temperatures, then long sleeves are an elegant way to add another stylish element to the dress that also keeps your warm. We love the look of this bride’s graceful lace sleeves.

Delightful Decor

Lighting

As we adjusted our clocks for daylight savings time, the days got darker much faster, so that means lighting at a winter wedding is of the utmost importance so that your guests aren’t dancing into each other. 

If you’re having an outdoor reception, we recommend stringing lights around low lying limbs or in the table decor to create a perfect winter sparkle. If you’re having an indoor wedding, then we love the look of illuminated backdrops and uplighting.

Nature

Natural details like pinecones, birch logs, flowers, and greenery are perfect for creating the feel of an authentic winter wonderland forest. Some of our favorite flowers in season during the winter are camellias, gardenias, ranunculus, and roses.


Festive Food

Coffee + Hot Chocolate

Who doesn’t love a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate on a chilly winter day? Coffee and hot chocolate are seasonal favorites, and they will serve as the perfect warm treat after dinner. You can spice things up even further by adding toppings for people to choose from like marshmallows, cinnamon sticks, whipped cream, and caramel sauce just to name a few.

S’mores Kit

The coffee and hot chocolate would pair perfectly with a s’mores kit. S’mores are a crowd-pleasing dessert that kids and adults alike will love! Try offering a s’mores bar where your guests can build and customize their own, or offer them as a wedding favor that they can take home and enjoy later.

Wedding Style Series: Beautiful Boho Brides

Picking a theme and style for your dream wedding can be a daunting task when there are plenty of gorgeous color palettes, linens, decorations, and many other decisions to make before you can say “I do’. If you’re looking to create a wedding atmosphere that looks like it came from a mythical enchanted storybook, with all the greenery, nature, and earth inspired elements, then you should consider a beautiful bohemian theme for your wedding and reception.

From the woven and rustic decor, to the braided hair, overflowing florals, and flowy dresses, a beautiful boho bride can perfectly express her romanticism and individuality through her color scheme, dress, hairstyle, florals, and decor.

We’ve curated this style series with all of our favorite trends to inspire the perfect bohemian chic wedding.

Color Scheme

Copper + Peach

If you’re looking for something dainty and soft, with a touch of rustic elegance, then this copper and peach color combination is perfect for you. The pink tones keep the color palette warm while the copper brings in the earthy and rustic touch.

Dark Teal + Orange

We are living for this dark teal and orange color combo as it brings in a refreshing sense of sophistication and balance to the boho bride theme. The teal is moody and mysterious and fits perfectly with the burnt orange for a fall wedding without looking too themed.

Sage + Emerald

We are living for this dark teal and orange color combo as it brings in a refreshing sense of sophistication and balance to the boho bride theme. The teal is moody and mysterious and fits perfectly with the burnt orange for a fall wedding without looking too themed.


Dresses

Flowy Sleeves

Nothing says boho bride like a whimsical sleeve. Long flowy bell sleeves are perfect for adding a flirty and elegant touch to your wedding dress. Bell sleeves are bold, so if you’re looking for something slightly subdued but still fit for a boho bride, then try a dress with a bishop sleeve instead.

Lace

Lace is the perfect blend of chic vintage style with delicate romanticism. Lace is lightweight and perfect for either a warm spring wedding or a cool winter wedding. Not to mention the fact that lace sleeves give us total Kate Middleton wedding dress vibes. 

Who doesn’t want to look and feel like a bohemian chic princess?


Hairstyles

Braid + Bun

Loose cascading braids and messy buns are simple and romantic hairstyles that will look good on any boho bride. They are also the perfect way to keep your hair out of your face while you’re talking to your family and friends or when you hit the dance floor.

Flowers + Foliage

A boho bride’s hairstyle should be as free-spirited as she is. Adding bits of flowers or foliage to your curls or updo are a nice way to add an elegant earthy touch.


Florals

Wildflowers + Foliage

Wildflowers in a boho bride bouquet give it a rustic feel while still embodying a creative and whimsical free-spirit. We love a boho bride bouquet that incorporates long, loose, and free-flowing blooms. Lavender, pampas grass, peonies, eucalyptus, and the classic rose are some of our favorites!


Decor

Woven + Straw Decor

Woven and straw detailing in wedding decor screams boho bride! The long dangling woven material can be knotted and braided to create an ethereal backdrop for your special moment, and the straw material adds a fun tone and texture.

Natural Elements

Nontraditional mediums like concrete, wood, tile, and gemstones can add a unique bohemian flare to your wedding design. Using natural elements from the space around you is the perfect way to tie in the rustic earthy touches.

Venue

Sanger Mansion

Every boho bride needs an elegant backdrop for their big day. The Sanger Mansion sits on nine acres of lush lawns with an alluring mansion, and a breathtaking view of the Texas landscapes. The Sanger Mansion is an all-inclusive wedding venue that features a full-access vineyard, luxurious spa, and the most relaxing bridal and honeymoon suites.
