  • Hand-Painted Winter Frost Wedding Reception

    Winter Frost Reception curated by Hand-Painted WeddingsWinter Frost Reception curated by Hand-Painted Weddings

    The Winter Frost wedding reception is hand-painted with glittery silvers, delicate whites, and frosty blues. Pine cones, white taper candles, snow globes, and of course piles of white snow adorn the Winter Frost reception. Hot chocolate and mulled wine are cozy, festive options to add to your catering package.

    Consider having your Winter Frost reception at a lodge, ski resort, or winter inn, where you can enjoy an entire winter weekend with your guests and spend the late hours of the night chatting over a fireplace. Spend the next day on a skiing excursion or winter hike through the woods!

  • Hand-Painted Reception: Inspired by Oranges

    I love the idea of having a winter wedding that has accents of refreshing oranges. It is so unexpected, yet completely seasonally appropriate. It really has a lighthearted sense to it also. I have seen a lot of pear-themed, apple-themed, and even lemon-themed weddings, but not really orange-themed weddings. I’m not sure why.

    An orange-themed wedding is certainly distinctive and expresses creativity. Did you know that the color orange actually stimulates creativity?

  • Winter Berry Reception

    The Hand-Painted Winter Berry wedding is elegant in its rich red accents and rustic in its wooden textures. Red berries are a beautiful accent to any winter wedding detail. You can use them mixed in with a bouquet of flowers, or you can simply place the berry twigs in mason jars.

    Dried berry branches are somewhat fragile, so I am also a fan of the artificial berry garlands (which you can get in any craft store this time of year). You can wind the berry garlands (which will likely be on a flexible wire) amongst candles in a table display, curl it around the base of your cake stand (I did this for my wedding!), or make into an adorable hair piece for a little flower girl.

    Bridesmaids will look striking in red dresses, and the bride will look stunning with a red shawl or cardigan around her shoulders for a winter berry wedding. Red flower hair pieces are also a gorgeous way to bring this elegant red accent to the bride’s attire.
