Winter wonderland weddings

View quoted message

YAAHH!!! now less than 10 days! congrats!

My wedding is in 10 days!! What?!?
It was always my dream for a winter wedding so here we are! Jan 4th at Lake Louise! Not sure I could have picked a better winter wonderland!!

We've moved ours to December 28th next year. It's going to be a classy Christmas theme (heavy on the greenery). We are hoping SO hard for snow. But if this year is any predictor we may be out of luck. 😭

We are getting married in March and as much as I am hoping there is now snow (for travel purposes) it has always been my dream to have a winter wedding!

Ill be getting married in the spring, but here in Edmonton it will still be cold! I think only like 5-10C. So we will be taking outdoor photos with scarfs/pashminas around our shoulders.

29 days til my Winter Wonderland wedding!!!!... unfortunately I live on the West Coast, so although I am BEGGING mother nature to give me snow (I may or may not be wagering my first born child)... it's probably going to rain, which is our Plan A.

However I'm still doing crystal accessories, fur shawl, faux snow in the centrepieces, candles, pine cones, etc....

SO EXCITED!!!

I looooove the whole esthetic of a winter wedding but it's not logical for us! We love the look of winter BUT CANNOT STAND THE COLD!!

ME!!!! I am in love with winter and winter weddings!! We have our engagement shoot coming up in a few weeks and I am praying for snow. I'll be praying even harder this time next year for snow for wintery wedding pictures. Our colours are Tiffany/light blue and white and I hope that gives off an icy and snowy feel. We'll also have blue uplighting in the reception room and I'm hoping to get filters on the dance floor spotlights so that they shine down like snowflakes. I've bought cute little snowflake twinkle lights to decorate the head table with. For centerpieces I'm thinking of doing a wintery take on the enchanted rose from Beauty and the Beast with frosted glass and fake snow inside. I'm going to get a fur shall or cape for outdoor pictures and I'm hoping to buy shalls for my bridesmaids too. I've still got a touch over a year so I'm sure I'll come up with more wintery touches.

I mean, my wedding is set for October 5th but it's not unheard of to get snow that early so I've got to say - I wouldn't be mad if it did snow! Winter is my favourite season so I have no problem with adding some shawls and boots! The only reason we didn't pick winter as our season was because of the FH.... He veto'd the winter, I veto'd the summer, so we were left with spring and fall - which fall is always pretty but spring is hit and miss with trees and flowers blooming.
