7 DIY Décor Ideas For A Winter Wonderland Wedding

If you wish to get married in a country with a white winter, you’ll be glad to have a winter wonderland wedding. This is a dream for many brides, and perhaps yours, too. When having one, you don’t have to be limited to just having white per se. There are many ways to create a winter wonderland wedding.

Think beyond the snowy scenes. White flowers are definitely a must-have. Then, there’s the earthly evergreen leaves and other rustic details to contrast the white. Mirrors, glass, and candles also make the venue look more elegant and warmer. Whatever you fancy, there’s a whole myriad of opportunities you can DIY for your winter wonderland wedding.

These easy DIY ideas for wedding decoration trends can help bring some style, coziness, love, and warmth to your cold, winter wonderland wedding:

1. Add Some Glitters For That Icy Effect

What’s a winter wonderland wedding without the ice and the glitters? Even when you won’t have real snow at your wedding reception, you can still mimic the look and feel of having ice and snowflakes around by having glitters.

There’s no hard and fast rule to follow for this. Wherever you can incorporate glitters in your décor, go ahead and place it. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Hang crystals or glitter details on tree branches in your aisle or reception;
• Have bejeweled details on your bouquet;
• Choose silver metallic colors for hardware and utensils;
• Frame up your table numbers in silver frames.

2. Use Baby’s Breath Flowers

White tulips and roses are always beautiful. But those aren’t the only two flowers you can have to come up with a winter wedding feel with white flower arrangements. Baby’s breath may be small, but they’re just as beautiful, too.

You can have a bunch of baby’s breath flowers placed all over your wedding—from the aisle to table centerpieces and even to your entourage’s bouquets. Need another convincing reason to use baby’s breath? It’s a budget-friendly flower choice as well.

3. Tweed Vases

Another symbolism of the cold, winter months is the fabric tweed, so bring it to your winter wonderland wedding. If you have vases that can be covered in fabric, cover them up in white or gray tweed. Doing this trick can give your eyes a break from all the metallic details. It’s also a nice added touch to have that overall winter feel going on.

4. Birdcages Everywhere

Birdcages painted in silver or white are nice to have in your aisle, entryway, and even in your table centerpieces. Just imagine tree branches with fairy lights wrapped around and birdcages hung up. It’ll truly be the makings of an ethereal winter wonderland wedding that’ll leave your guests feeling enchanted.

5. Ornamental Centerpieces

If there’s a holiday that coincides with a winter wonderland, it’s Christmas. So, if you’re having your wedding in December, you have the advantage of having ornaments to choose from. Think Christmas balls in silver, white, and rose gold.

You can make use of those ornaments as your centerpiece. A good way to arrange it is to have a charger plate or tray in silver as the base. Then, right at the center, you can have your design elements like an LED candle, birdcage, or flowers. Surrounding that main centerpiece is where you can carefully arrange your ornamental balls.

6. Knitted Ring Pillow

While it may not necessarily be a big detail, another decorative piece that’s photographed a lot are the ring pillows. After all, it’s what’ll hold the wedding rings.

Usually, ring pillows come in a satin or silk covering. When in white or gray, these still look great for your winter wonderland theme. But if you want something unique, here’s an idea you can easily DIY.

If you know how to knit, why not knit your ring pillows? Knits are symbolic of the cold season. It’s a unique touch to what would’ve otherwise been a plain jane, common ring pillow. Do you have time to do more? Create more knits. You can have those as your coasters and even as added seating on chairs.

Surely, you’ll have guests feeling the cozy vibe that a winter wonderland wedding is supposed to give off.

7. Snowflakes Ceiling Décor

Creating ceiling arrangements may be a tad bit too hard for you to DIY, unless you’re already an expert. But here’s an easy one beginners like yourself can try out: create a snowflakes ceiling décor. All you have to do is hang snowflake cut-outs from the ceiling. Be sure to use nylon or a transparent string, so you can achieve maximum impact.
