Winter wedding details

You can add as much or as little detail as you want to your winter wonderland wedding, whether you just want to put subtle snowflakes on your stationery or deck out your whole reception room in fairly lights. You also have the choice of sticking to the snowy, winter theme or including an air of Christmas, depending on when your wedding is taking place. Why not include a Christmas cocktail to warm your guests up on arrival? It may sound cheesy, but if you're getting married in the run up to Christmas, chances are you've already thought about this. If you don't go overboard with red and greem or stick Christmas decorations everywhere, there is something romantic and magical about getting married at Christmas. Stick to pine needle foliage and pine cones for decoration as well as a crisp, snow white backdrop. Perfect.
