Winter weddings are enchanted and often described as fairytale like events. With the snow cascading down encapsulating everything in pure white, visions of horse drawn carriages and dancing by the fireside - these are very romantic and rustic themes. Rustic fall and winter weddings have made a big comeback in 2011 and the elegant country charm will continue throughout 2012. If you are looking for winter wedding colors to go with your theme, you have several options - and some unique ways to select colors for your nuptials.
If you are a traditional bride your winter wedding colors are:
Silvery light blue with white and silver accents (think of snowflakes)White on white, with crystal accentsRed and whiteRed, white and green if your wedding is close to the Christmas seasonIvory, Gold and Crystal accents
If you are a non-traditional bride your winter wedding colors can be anything that you want them to be! Since white is the base color of the season, you can pair it with whatever you like. Some non traditional color schemes can be pulled from the new Christmas color schemes: teal with purple or hot pink and grass green. If those funky colors don't suit your personality then don't fear, we have one more suggestion for you!
Find a winter scene, a photograph that really speaks to you. Pull out the elements of that photograph that appeal to you the most and incorporate them into your wedding. Look at the colors within the picture and take the first four colors which appeal to your eye - these are the colors for your wedding. Every winter picture is not the same - so don't think that the colors will be bland or monotone. On the contrary, winter photography colors are rich and often bright!
