You have settled on a winter wedding date, and plan to incorporate the season into your wedding theme. The best way to highlight your wonderful winter wedding theme is to utilize creative wedding décor, which can be included in both your ceremony and reception in Minneapolis or St. Paul, Minnesota.

Stunning Ice Sculptures for your Wedding Reception

What winter wedding would be complete without ice sculptures? Ice Caters ships ice sculptures all over the United States, including the Minneapolis, Minnesota area. Ice sculptures as wedding décor make for interesting conversation because they truly are works of art. As wedding centerpieces are accents to your Minneapolis or St. Paul reception, ice sculptures will keep your guests talking for years to come.

Wintry Candles to Light up Your Wedding

Classic white wedding candles in the ceremony and on the tables at the wedding reception will tie in nicely with a winter wedding theme. With the amount of snow that falls in St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, you may be concerned about the amount of white color at your wedding. However, the elegance and contrast of the burning flame will absorb the feelings of too much white, while completing the look and feel of your wedding décor.

Choosing the Perfect Wedding Décor Flowers

Due to the limited seasonal supply, it is more difficult to choose wedding flowers for a winter wedding. Spring, summer, and autumn are naturally full of colors, and bouquets of brightly colored blossoms are abundant in these seasons. For winter wedding flowers, choose a striking contrast to the abundant white provided by the blanket of snow (and perhaps white candles). Red or blue flowers make an excellent compliment. Polished Petals of Minneapolis, Minnesota, provides floral arrangements with not only your budget in mind, but your overall wedding theme at the forefront of the bouquets.

Seasonal Wedding Favors

Choose wedding favors that tie into the winter theme. Minnesota favorites that are appropriate might include tiny bottles of maple syrup or individual packets of gourmet hot chocolate. A place like Afton Apple Orchard, conveniently located near the Twin Cities, Minnesota area, can provide maple syrup, honey, jams, or jellies that will work nicely with your winter wedding theme. You can relate your wedding favors to the wedding décor by choosing packaging that matches the wedding colors, or dressing them up with ribbons.

Incorporating Other Wintry Wedding Décor Elements

Other wedding decorations for a winter wedding should include elements that glitter, sparkle, and shine. Use contrasting textures, and you will create a memorable atmosphere. Try coupling a shimmering ribbon with a more dull or matted fabric to create bows or accents for chairs or church pews. These ideas can be carried through the wedding ceremony or wedding reception for continuity. You can also accent your printed materials for the ceremony or reception with tiny snowflakes and other wintery characters. These small details are important for wedding decorations at your Minneapolis wedding reception venue.

Once you have established your theme, all of the wedding décor details contribute the ambiance of your Minnesota winter wedding. These little touches will leave a lasting impression on your guests, and make for some exceptional pictures to capture the memories.
