7 Wondrous Winter Wedding Ideas & Themes

Winter is a beloved season for many, and for some, it’s the perfect time to get married. It’s one of the most joyous times of the year. We just love the holidays and cozying up in front of a warm fire with a mug of hot cocoa. You may even be able to enjoy some seasonal discounts on wedding venues. If you’re planning to tie the knot this winter, you’ll definitely want to consider some of these creative winter wedding ideas and themes.

Christmas Theme

Getting married to the one you love is the best gift you could ever receive this season. Give yourself an extra day of Christmas this year by making it your wedding theme! With the theme of Christmas, there are plenty of angles to play and lots of Christmas party decor to find inspiration in. Your Christmas theme might be highly elegant with a vintage style of Christmases of years past. Think vintage glass ornaments, fresh pine garland, and glittering gold tableware. Or, you could get whimsical with Dr. Suess’s The Grinch theme. Think over-the-top hairstyles of the people of Whoville, excessive Christmas lights, and a wedding feast with roast beast. Whichever way you decide to run with a Christmas theme, Ultimate Party can help make your winter wedding ideas come to life. 

New Year's Eve Theme

Committing entirely to another person and a couple’s way of life is a wonderful way to bring in the new year! Imagine the wedding photos you’ll have when you kiss your betrothed and fireworks set off in the background. It’s a winter wedding idea that will have your special moment remembered fondly for years by your guests. We imagine a New Year’s Eve wedding to be a black-tie event decked out in gold and silver accents, with plenty of New Year’s balloons, noise makers, confetti poppers, and of course the aforementioned fireworks to really sell the theme and bedazzle your guests. 

Ski Lodge Wedding

For this winter wedding idea and theme, you’ll want to choose the perfect ski lodge. It needs to have stellar views, a large reception area, and an indoor pool and jacuzzi couldn’t hurt. You may want to host the ceremony inside the lodge, or you could arrange for a ski lift ride to ferry all of the guests to a ceremony at the top of the mountain. Once the ceremony is over, your guests will ride the lift back down to the reception. A classic ski lodge will already have ski-themed decorations like vintage skis and poles so all you’ll need are some wedding decorations and supplies to make it your own.

Get Out in the Snow

Don’t be afraid to take the celebration outside for your winter wedding idea. Imagine ditching the white wedding dress and opting for a stunning long-sleeved, wine-red dress to juxtapose against the white snow. The photoshoot options against a snowy white backdrop will look amazing. Ask guests to dress accordingly and provide outdoor heaters to help everyone stay comfortable. If snow hasn’t graced your area yet and it’s cold enough, consider renting a snow-making machine to help make your snowy winter wedding theme come true. Use candles and electric lighting as light reflects beautifully off snow.

Winter Color Palette

When we think of winter, we see white snow, brown shrubs and trees, green pines, and red holly berries. Embracing these colors in your winter wedding ideas is an excellent way to tie the season into your wedding. Blanket your ceremony area with white chairs, white Christmas trees, and maybe even fake snow. Dress your bridesmaids in berry red or pine green. Decorate your wedding cake with coniferous greens and winterberries. Accents of red and green colored tableware will pop beautifully against white tablecloths. 

Keep It Cozy

There’s something so satisfying about staring into a roaring fire as snow falls outside. Imagine taking your vows in front of a big cozy fire inside of a rustic hall decked out in lit Christmas trees. Guests can enjoy comfort food and sip hot toddies at the meal and reception. Bringing piney greens inside is a perfect way to add to this winter wedding idea. Don’t be afraid to ditch flowers and set tables with coniferous centerpieces. Use real pine garland as decor and enjoy the fresh pine smells.

Velvet & Furs

We love the idea of mixing deeply colored velvets with neutral-colored furs to make a winter wedding theme that pops with color and is cozy. Use bunches of deep red velvet fabric for unique table runners that echo the colors of pomegranates and cranberries, the fruits of the season. Match your table decor with beautiful colored tableware. Cover ceremony benches with white or brown faux furs that will make guests feel the warmth and comfort it brought to our ancestors on cold nights. You might even carry this winter wedding idea into the bride’s wedding attire. Imagine a colored velvet dress with a white fur shawl.
