Winter Wedding Sparkle in 7 ways
Winter wedding sparkle can add extra magic. Something about the holidays always gets to me. Maybe it’s the snow, the decorations or just the general aura of the season, but it’s always a season of pure enchantment. Here are seven ways to make your winter wedding sparkle.
Glittery branches
This bundle was found at Folkart Gathering which used to be in downtown Sumner on Main Street. If you haven’t visited Sumner’s Main Street, it holds amazing little shops to find winter wedding goodies in. Be sure to check out vintage shops in your area for beautiful glittery branches like these. You could also make your own using a tutorial like this one by Momtastic (<– click for link).
Snag Grandma’s old ornaments.
Vintage Ornaments can add a beautiful magical vibe to your winter wedding. Toss them in bowls with some tinsel, hang them from tiny tree centerpieces, or gift them to your guests as a special keepsake.
Shop the Post-Christmas sales for twinkle lights at 50% off
Snag all the twinkle lights! Not only are they great for winter wedding decor, but you’ll be ready for the next 10 years of Christmas decorating. Plus they can be any color of twinkle lights. Wrap them around a dollar store wreath form that you’ve painted with sliver paint, or between false trees to create an archway.
Celebrate Mother Nature’s best decor
Use pinecones and berries you find in your own back yard (be sure to double check they aren’t poisonous first!). Frost your own berry branches using a tutorial like this one from Lynn’s Sweet Paradise (<–Click for link). Stick come sliver or glittery pinecones in bowls, scattered on tables, or use them to hold up your guest’s place cards at their table settings.
Two Words: Edible Glitter.
Consider something truly unique with a pretty mocktail or cocktail. Pinterest has a ton of glittery drink ideas and then there’s these Champange Jello Shots with edible gold glitter… I’m more amazed than I’ve ever been. Your winter wedding guests will be amazed too.
Go classic with the trusty(ish) candle
Everyone loves candle lit ceremonies and they can easily bring a bit of magic to your winter wedding! If you can’t burn real candles or don’t want to risk a fire, choose battery operated tealights. Candle holders are pretty easy to find, and you can have a customized decal made from any number of etsy sellers. Send home the candle holders as a keepsake for your guests.
The classic winter sparkle: Snowflakes
Last but not least, snowflakes. There’s nothing more beautiful than these completely unique ice crystals, but if you can’t work the weather for real snowflakes, the next best thing is pretty wire ones. I’ve found some beautiful pieces at the shops in downtown Sumner. Be sure to check your local vintage shops and craft fairs to find the best unique pieces.
