One of the great things about Hamptons wedding venues is that they’re lovely through the seasons. It then comes as no surprise that this plush neighborhood hosts so many weddings in a year, especially those of celebrity couples.
If you’re planning to be a winter bride, here is a list of wonderful ideas for adorning the space, making it a truly memorable spot for the most special day of your life.
Crystal hangings. Whether it’s an indoor or outdoor wedding, crystal bead hangings bring a touch of elegance to any place. Tie them to tree branches or let them drop from the chandelier to create a truly picturesque scene.
Shimmering snowflakes. Use snowflake patterns and use them as adornments for the table settings and the seats, or hang them from the ceiling along with shiny globes. You can pin them onto candles too. Snowflake accents especially go well with a blue and silver motif.
Pine branches and cones everywhere. Nothing spells the holidays more than pine trees. Use pine branches and cones to decorate the aisles, the buffet tables, and the arch near the altar. Feel free to use the whole tree, too!
Floral winter wonderland. A gazillion white flowers and blue lighting for your wedding reception will make for a dazzling winter wonderland. Use giant floral arrangements for your tables and white birch branches for your centerpieces, and watch your guests’ jaws drop as they enter the venue.
White and blue. Scout the suppliers for white and blue things – from fabrics to vases to dishes and glassware. Ask the person in charge of lighting to use blue uplighting and project snowflakes on the wall, to help create the cozy winter vibe.
Holiday ornaments. For a winter wedding, you can actually use Christmas decor to glam up the space. Use the organza ribbons and metallic balls you intended to hang around your tree, and instead place them on your place card tables, or your signs. Place pots of poinsettia everywhere, along with fake dangling berries and pinecones, and wreaths of holly.
Think ‘bedazzled.’ Bejeweled items create a dramatic feel, which is what winter weddings are about. Pick the shiny, glittery, or gleaming option when you can, from the handle of the bouquets, to the groomsmen’s buttonieres, to the table, seating, and ceiling ornaments.
