Minnesota Winter Wedding Colors

Deep Jewel Tones: Luxe and Romantic

Jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, and amethyst purple are perfect for adding a luxurious, regal feel to a winter wedding. These rich, saturated colors stand out against winter’s muted backdrops and create a sense of warmth and romance.

How to Use Jewel Tones:

1. Bridal Party Attire: Dress your bridesmaids in elegant, velvet dresses in deep jewel tones. Groomsmen can complement them with velvet bow ties or boutonnieres that tie into the same colors.
2. Florals: Choose lush, dramatic florals like burgundy peonies, deep red roses, or dark-hued dahlias, mixed with deep green foliage for a bold bouquet. Incorporate gold or bronze accents to elevate the look even further.
3. Reception Decor: Use jewel-toned linens or table runners to bring a pop of color to your tablescapes. Add gold chargers, candleholders, and cutlery to give the entire space an upscale feel.

Frosty Blues and Silver: Elegant and Icy

For couples dreaming of a winter wonderland wedding, frosty blues paired with metallic silver tones create an ethereal, magical ambiance. This palette is perfect for those who want their wedding to feel crisp, elegant, and timeless—evoking the quiet beauty of a snowy day.

How to Use Frosty Blues and Silver:

1. Invitations: Incorporate frosty blue and silver foil in your invitation suite to give guests a hint of the cool, sophisticated vibe they can expect. Opt for textured paper or subtle shimmer to add an icy touch.
2. Bridal Attire: A delicate lace gown with silver embellishments or beading can add a frosty, wintry feel. The groom can opt for a navy suit with silver accents, such as a silver tie or cufflinks.
3. Decor: For the ceremony and reception, use silver mercury glass votives, frosted glassware, and icy blue linens. Snowy white flowers such as white roses, hydrangeas, or dusty miller add a soft, romantic touch to your tablescapes.

Holiday-Inspired Palettes: Festive and Cozy

If you’re getting married near the holiday season, you might want to incorporate classic holiday colors like deep reds, greens, and metallics into your wedding design. A holiday-inspired palette doesn’t have to feel overly festive—it can be elegant, cozy, and full of warmth, creating a welcoming environment for your guests.

How to Use Holiday-Inspired Palettes:

1. Bridal Party Attire: Rich red bridesmaid dresses paired with evergreen bouquets create a festive, yet sophisticated look. Groomsmen can wear deep green ties or pocket squares to complement the holiday theme.
2. Ceremony Decor: A floral arch featuring red roses, holly berries, and evergreen branches adds a natural, holiday-inspired feel. Twinkling lights or candle-lined aisles can enhance the cozy, intimate atmosphere.
3. Reception Details: Incorporate evergreen garlands, pinecones, and deep red roses into your table decor. You can also add gold or copper accents to your tableware or candleholders to create an elevated, festive vibe

Winter Whites: Pure and Simple

For a minimalist, elegant wedding, all-white color palettes embody the beauty of freshly fallen snow. This look is timeless and serene.

How to Use Winter Whites:

1. Bridal Party Attire: All-white bridesmaid dresses paired with fur shawls create a cozy and refined look.
2. Ceremony Decor: Line your aisle with white roses, baby’s breath, and snowy branches for an ethereal feel. Add floating candles for a soft glow.
3. Reception Details: Use white linens, white florals, and clear glass accents. For a modern touch, add metallics like gold or silver.
