Winter in Texas is a bit different than in other states, which means our winter weddings are a bit different as well! Explore tips for planning the perfect winter wedding in Texas.
Venue
Choose a rustic yet elegant venue that complements the winter theme. Consider locations like barns, ranches, or upscale lodges that offer both indoor and outdoor spaces. One great option is the “The Venue at Centaur Farms” in Flint, Texas, known for its rustic facade and scenic surroundings.
Color Palette
Opt for a sophisticated and warm color palette that contrasts with the coolness of winter. Rich burgundy, deep navy, and shimmering gold will add depth and elegance to your winter wedding.
Décor:
- Fairy Lights and Lanterns: Create a magical atmosphere by adorning the venue with fairy lights and lanterns. Hang them from trees, drape them along walkways, and use them to frame the ceremony area.
- Faux Fur Accents: Incorporate cozy and luxurious faux fur accents in your décor. Use fur throws on seating areas, as table runners, and even for the bride’s wrap.
- Winter Florals: Opt for deep-hued florals like burgundy roses, amaryllis, and deep purple calla lilies. Mix in touches of eucalyptus and pinecones for a rustic touch.
- Crystal Elements: Incorporate crystal details in your centerpieces, napkin rings, and even in your wedding cake design. This adds a touch of winter sparkle to the décor.
Attire
- Bride: A long-sleeved lace gown with subtle sparkle will evoke winter elegance. A fur stole or capelet will not only keep the bride warm but also add a touch of luxury.
- Groom: A dark navy or charcoal suit paired with a burgundy bowtie or tie will complement the winter color scheme perfectly.
- Bridesmaids: Choose deep burgundy or navy gowns with long sleeves or coordinating wraps.
- Groomsmen: Dark suits or tuxedos in shades of charcoal or navy, paired with burgundy accessories, will tie the look together.
Ceremony:
- Outdoor Fire Pits: Provide outdoor fire pits with cozy seating for guests to gather around during the ceremony. This will not only keep them warm but also add to the romantic ambiance.
- Foliage-Covered Arch: Create a beautiful focal point for the ceremony with an arch covered in winter foliage, pinecones, and deep-hued florals.
Reception:
- Long Banquet Tables: Opt for long banquet-style tables to create an intimate and cozy atmosphere. Decorate them with lush floral runners, candles, and crystal accents.
- Hot Chocolate Bar: Embrace the winter season with a hot chocolate bar featuring various toppings and mix-ins.
- Candlelit Ambiance: Fill the reception space with candlelight to create a warm and romantic atmosphere.
Favors:
Offer guests personalized ornaments with their names and the wedding date, tying into the winter theme and serving as a memorable keepsake.
Entertainment:
Consider hiring a live band or a DJ who can play a mix of classic hits and modern tunes to keep the dance floor lively and energetic.
Remember, the key is to balance the winter theme with the Texan charm and hospitality. By combining these elements, you’ll create a truly unforgettable winter wedding experience.
