A wintertime theme was my idea of the perfect wedding theme, so we got married in January. A wedding built around snow and ice can be wonderful, and there are plenty of items you can obtain to make it happen. From wedding invitations to wedding favors there are all kinds and styles of accessories to choose from for almost any themed wedding you’re planning to have. The colors at our wedding centered around silver and an icy blue. The unity candle was surrounded by other candles with a winter style to them, along with simulated snowflakes on the altar. The ceremony had a lovely, pristine look to it.
All of the reception tables had red table runners and white tablecloths. In the middle of each reception table sat freshly cut white orchids inside of a glimmering silver vase, and it all went with the wintery ambiance wonderfully. I ran across some snowball ornament place card holders, and I used those for the reception. Not only are they beautiful card holders but they are awesome little ornaments as well. As wedding thank you gifts for our friends and family we decided on these lovely toasting flutes and little novelty champagne bottles favors with bubbles. champagne flutes make great little thank you gifts. Our reception hall called to mind a scene of freshly-fallen snow in the middle of winter. Our three tiered wedding cake sat on a unique little sled designed cake stand and had a topper that was a porcelain snowflake to complete our winter wedding cake. The artwork on the serving set for our cake, that I purchased over the Internet, also had a winter look to it. There was an icy blue shade to the handles which was accentuated with white snowflakes. It was an exact match for the sign-in book and pen set I had bought.
The artwork on the the cake serving utensils and the guestbook was identical to that on the personalized toasting flute, and they all looked brilliant. The coloring scheme was cool blue and white with a few small snowflakes to match everything else on our table. Our reception guests loved the place card holders and other gifts that they received, and the look of the tables was to die for. The little flower girl seemed happy with her necklace we got her for a thank you gift, plus she got to keep the little tiara she wore in the wedding ceremony. The ring boy thought the ring bearer tee shirt and stainless steel yoyo was pretty cool. I got tank tops with crystals spelling out the word bridesmaid on them for all of my girls, plus I got my maid of honor a crystal bracelet besides. My fiance took care of shopping for the guys. He bought a best man mug and a neat pen set for the best man, and everyone else received a battery-operated digital clock. It was pretty obvious by the way everyone was laughing and dancing that they were really enjoying themselves at our wedding reception, a quite a few of them thanked us for the lovely gifts we had bought for them as wedding favors.
The products I discovered on the Internet made our wedding day everything I dreamed it could be. We also saved a little money by shopping online, with all the discounts and wholesale items they had to choose from. I not only found things for our wedding, but they also had items I could use on our honeymoon. We got a ‘Do Not Disturb’ pillow to hang on our doorknob, along with hats and shirts for newlyweds. We got plenty of use out of that pillow.
