Winter Wedding Wednesday - Let is Snow

Let it snow, let it snow, let is snow! (Sorry, now you will have the song stuck in your head, too!) We love winter weddings because we get to incorporate snowflakes! As with any theme, the key is to not overdo it, but with a few subtle touches, guests will watch you say "I Do" in your very own Winter Wonderland!

Here are some of our favorite snowflake ideas:


Snowflakes on the Table - All of you DM Events fans know that we strongly believe in incorporating your theme into your stationary, especially your menu cards. But think bigger! You can rent linen with shimmering snowflakes sewn into the fabric - nothing says wedding chic like seasonal linen! Note - for a cost effective alternative, rent a white shimmer or organza linen and sprinkle snowflake confetti over it - this DYI project will save you about half the price! (for confetti check out partycelebration.com)

Snowflakes on your Cake - Instead of having your baker sculpt flowers, ask for snowflakes! this is a gorgeous, simple way to dress up your winter wedding cake. If you have a dedicated spot at your wedding to showcase your cake, hang snowflake ornaments in the area - it is a dramatic look and makes for a great photo op! Note - having your baker sculpt snowflakes can be pricy so for a cost effective alternative, you can purchase 4" or 6" snowflake confetti from chicoparty.com to cover your cake. This will free up some extra money to buy yummy fillings!

Snowflake Rice - Ok, so not many people are throwing rice these days, but rather than rose petals, or bubbles, why not toss snowflakes? This is another perfect way to make use of confetti. This is a great project for DIY brides - you need a small wax paper bag and some ribbon and stickers. If you are in NYC, this will be one-stop-shopping for you - check out Paper Presentation in Chelsea. (We are warning you to leave a lot of extra time to wander around the store since it is DIY heaven!)
