Here’s a round up of gorgeous decor ideas for your winter wedding that won’t leave guests feeling like they are trapped inside a souvenir snow globe.

Ceremony: Make It A Walk to Remember
When it comes to planning your ceremony, draw from winter’s natural beauty for aisle and alter decorations, lighting, and accent details.

Branches have a ornanic look perfect for winter wedding decor. Arrange branches in tall cylinder vases and adorn with hydrangea and hanging votives for a one-of-a-kind table setting that captures the still beauty of the season.

A winter wedding decor guide wouldn’t be complete without a pine cone or two. Create a charming centerpiece by filling glass vases with pine cones and fresh flowers illuminated by votives.

And don’t be “married” to the notion that you can only have white, green, and silver in your winter wedding decor. We are completely obsessed with the dark, moody color palette that emerged in fall. These wedding colors are showing no signs of going anywhere. Use deep berry and wine hues paired with gold accents in linens, tableware, and flowers of course! Taper candles add an enchanted grace that takes the style next level.
