3 Amazing Non Holiday Wedding Winter Themes

Posted by Doncrack Wednesday, December 2, 2009


NEW YEAR 2010

As the New Year approaches many brides will be looking for a new wedding theme idea that goes beyond the normal holiday and winter wedding themes. This makes sense as many brides will still want to take advantage of the off season savings of a winter wedding. So how does a bride still come up with an original wedding theme and at the same time still make the best advantages offered by an off-season ceremony? It takes imagination and some research to make it a reality. Here are some great ideas for you the bride in such a predicament can use that will be sure to make your ceremony and reception at this time of year unforgettable and spectacular.
If you are having a January wedding one great idea to have is a New Year's theme. Having your wedding at this time of year is a great choice because you not only are celebrating the beginning of a brand new year but also the beginning of your marriage. This is an apt theme to use and it can add some glitz and sparkle that would be otherwise lacking in a winter themed wedding. For example you decorate the chapel or ceremony location in bright and sparkling material. You want to give the venue a shimmering and wonderful look but not make it look too much like a party. That is what you want your reception to look like. You want it to have a look similar to a lavish New Year Eve Party in New York or some other popular venue.

Another great choice is Valentine's Day. This is the perfect theme for a February wedding. What better theme than one based on the lover's holiday? This is a great advantage to ramp up the romance in your wedding design. You can use the motifs of hearts and red colored flowers and blossoms to give the room an excellent look. You can also look to other famous Valentine's Day images of cupid. For the ceremony, try to blend these in a manner that will provide an elegant and romantic look to your ceremony location. For the reception you will have much more room to let your imagination soar. You can make your reception into one of the all time great Valentine's Day parties with chocolate desserts, menus designed around famous romantic dinners and a great selection of love ballads and songs to serenade your guests.

Another popular theme is the black and white wedding. This is a classy and elegant theme that matches the winter season perfectly in its stark contrasts and sophisticated simplicity. This is the type of wedding that is perfect because it does not have to match any particular holiday and can still be considered to be a great choice for a winter ceremony and reception. The result is something that has old time beauty and an unforgettable look that will leave a great impression on your attendees. To add to glitz to your decorations try incorporating sparking elements such as glitter, sequins, and some crystal.

These are just some of the many themes that you can use for your winter wedding after the holiday season. The important thing is that there are several ideas you can use for you winter wedding that don't have to follow the same boring pattern. You just have to think of themes that best match the season and what you want to do.

Having a New Years Wedding

Posted by Doncrack Monday, December 22, 2008



There cannot be a more a romantic way to ring in a new year than with a celebration of marriage! We put together some ideas and tips to help plan your New Years Eve Wedding.

Invitations:
Send out "save the date" cards as soon as you know the date, and send out your invites three months in advance instead of two just to give your guests plenty of time since it is a holiday.
For the invitation style, choose white and gold or white and silver. Also to make the wording special by adding a phrase like, "A new year, a new beginning" or "A countdown to the rest of our lives


Favors:
Small bottles of champagne with personalized labels, chocolate covered fortune cookies with a new years fortune, a cd with your favorite hits from the past year with a personalized label, bells with a label that says "ring in the new year with your names", have someone take each guests instant photo as they arrive and place the photo in a personalized frame for them to take home with them when they leave.

Colors:
New years eve colors are typically black and silver or gold and silver.

Decorations:
To make a festive atmosphere, place noise makers , Party hats , candles, and confetti on the tables. Place balloons, white lights, and glittery snowflakes throughout. Place a large clock right behind the DJ to countdown, or have a large screen tv to watch the ball drop! Also, place balloons in netting over the dancefloor to drop down at the stroke of midnight.

Time:
Try to make it a late event, starting around 8:00pm. You want your guests to stay through the stroke of midnight to ring in the new year!

Food:
If you decide to serve a full meal, remind guests to have something light to eat before the event since they will be eating dinner later than usual(if your event starts at 8PM), but let them know you will be serving a full meal and to come hungry!

You may want to skip having a full meal and opt for hot appetizers offered throughout the night. You can serve hot wings, chicken/beef sticks, scallops and bacon, etc. Or, you can have stations set up so guests can help themselves.

Be sure to have plenty of coffee available throughout the night, or consider a coffee station when serving dessert.


These are just a few ideas to make your New Years Eve wedding special, but there are so many more possibilities to use your own creativity to add something unique to your special day.
