  • 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?

  • The Ultimate Dress for a Winter Berry Wedding

    My favorite color to wear is red, so when I spotted this dress by Vera Wang on a wedding blog, I was completely blown away. The idea of even putting this dress on makes me giddy! I mean how stunning would it be to have a winter wedding and wear this dress?! It would be a dream! I love how this model’s hair is a bit messy too, while wearing this dress. Check out the other beautiful red dresses in this line here. And of course, this dress would be a superb choice for a Winter Berry wedding!

  • 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.
