Winter Pink Wedding Ideas
Wedding Invitations
Wedding invitations or save the date cards are often the first snippet your guests will get of your wedding so it’s important to get it right! With a wide range of beautiful stationery out there it is really hard to make that final decision. Ordering free samples can often help as they will allow you to see the shade of pink so you can determine if it’s right for your big day. Here I have selected ‘Pink English Roses’ by The Card Gallery which is a traditional design with a modern twist.Pink Flowers
Team up pink and cream roses with a splash of greenery to create your perfect winter pinks bouquet. Use hypericum berries, pine sprigs, skimmia to add texture and diamantes to add some winter sparkle.Foliage and flower decorations can take a pale less colourful bouquet to another level if you feel it looks washed out. Greenery is particularly important for your floral displays as it can give your flowers a more seasonal feel.Bridesmaid
Dusky pink is an elegant winter wedding colour, plus there are lots of choices of dusky pink styles to choose from. This particular one I came across on www.pinkbridesmaid.co.uk is available in 9 different shades of pink and will include inch wide straps for younger bridesmaids. Just remember that bridesmaids don’t have to be dressed the same. You could try dressing the little ones in a contrasting ivory dress which contains a hint of dusky pink like this one I found on www.justdresses.co.ukDecorating your venue
Accessories help set the mood and help create a winter wonderland for your special day. Try adding items like; Tea lights in frosted glass holders to add warmth and romance. Lanterns add a soft glow. Tall statement centrepieces filled with pink roses, ivy, white branches and hanging crystals to reflect the candle light. Ice carvings to bring the frosty outdoors inside. Luxury white table cloths with dusky pink napkins fastened with a large diamante embellishment. Follow your winter pinks theme through with matching table plan, table names, place cards, menus, favours, and guest book. Here are items from the ‘Pink English Roses’ range by The Card Gallery.Rebecca & Martin tie the knot in Las Vegas!
Winter wedding stationery ideas
- Choose carefully - If you're choosing your save the date cards or wedding invitations during the summer months then think ahead, don’t choose something too summery as it won’t look right against a venue decorated with festive garlands and ornate Christmas trees.
- Plan ahead - It’s a good a idea to send save the date cards out around a year in advance particularly if you’re planning a wedding around a busy time of year like Christmas. The earlier you tell your guests you're getting married, the sooner they can mark it on their calendar. Formal invitations can then follow around 3-6 months before the date of your wedding.
- Save money where you can - Save money by popping your save the date cards inside your Christmas cards for example, this will not only save buying double the amount of postage stamps but will save time too.
- Be organised - Beat the Christmas rush and avoid disappointment by ordering your final bits of wedding stationery early, it’s often a very busy time of year for everyone and you don’t want to end up with no table plan or order of service for instance.
- Enjoy it – Don’t turn into the next bridezilla, being stressed will not get you anywhere, it's meant to be a happy occasion so be happy!

Festive Weddings
There is something magical about getting married at Christmas. With family and friends already in the mood for celebrating, venues decorated with elaborate Christmas trees, festive floral decorations and luxury garlands you already have a good foundation to build on.
Christmas Wedding Invitations
Wedding invitations are perfect for setting the mood or theme of your wedding so think carefully about what you choose. If you are buying invitations during the summer months, you perhaps are not feeling wintery or Christmassy but you will be when you get married so think ahead. Lots of general wedding invitations can fit in with a Christmas wedding, for example red roses are a classic choice but still compliment a Christmas wedding beautifully. Other invitations you may like to consider are ‘Falling Snowflakes’ or the fun and quirky ‘Winter Reindeer’ design. Just remember you can follow the theme of your invitation throughout your wedding, having matching order of service, table plans, placecards and even thank you cards all of which can be personalised to suit your needs.
Winter Wedding Dresses
A crisp white wedding dress against a luxurious fur jacket or cape will look stylish on your big day, so there will be no need for you to be cold. Cover ups can be purchased from high street retailers and specialist wedding shops and allows you the option for you to remove when you’re indoors. If you love the ice queen look then follow the theme through and accessorize with a fur and crystal encrusted hair piece and muffer to keep your hands warm. Your bridesmaids can accessorize with a posy style bouquet featuring ice blue ribbon, clear crystal jewels and white flowers.
Venues
When planning my own wedding, my venue was one of the most important details of my day. I wanted something idyllic, that would detach me from the outside world and would be a beautiful backdrop for my wedding photo’s. I would recommend that you spend some time visiting venues, you won’t know if it ‘feels right’ until you go there. I knew when I pulled up at my venue that it was ‘the one’, I hadn’t had that feeling previously. If you are visiting a venue in the summer months then you have to consider that it will look quite different in the middle of winter. Perhaps ask what the place will look around Christmas time, what decorations will they put up? Do they have Christmas party nights, and will it affect you? Make a list of questions and don’t be afraid to ask, after all you’re paying good money and you won’t want any unwanted surprises!
Bouquets & Centrepieces
Red roses are a perfect choice for a Christmas bride. They can be complimented with holly, cinnamon sticks, hypericum berries, candles and seasonal greenery for your table centrepieces, adding warmth to your room on a cold winter’s day. Your local florist should be able to show you photos of Christmas bouquets and arrangements so you can get a better idea of what’s possible.
