In the perfect setting, winter holds a special wonder all its own. The twinkling snow and blanketed atmosphere can make everything seem dreamy. This, and the cheaper cost, is why many brides choose winter for their wedding instead of the customary spring ceremony. As with every season, there are great wedding theme ideas you can use to help really flesh out the winter wedding of your dreams.

ICE QUEEN

Use lots of crystals and silver to create that stunning ice queen feel for your wedding. Use a white wedding cake with dangling, clear crystals. Use tons of crystals and white flowers as a bouquet and decorations.

Try to find as much clear, crystal looking decor as possible, including chairs, tables, flatware, and dishes. Think about using tiny, icicle-looking lights to hang from the walls and ceiling. The wedding wardrobe should consist of luxurious silk, velvet, and fur. Remember, you're royalty, so keep everything looking as fabulous as you.

SNOWY FIELDS

Bring the winter atmosphere indoors without having to worry about dealing with the cold. The wedding colors should stick with white and/or silver. Use craft stuffing to create snow all over everything. Spray snow can frost the windows, and white carpets can blanket the aisle. Use glittering snowflake lights or decorations to hang from the ceiling and walls.

Your cake and wedding invitations can look like a snow fort, snowman, snowflake, or a snowball. Music can cover the many winter-themed songs, or just use regular music on a "snow" covered dance floor.

VICTORIAN

Victorians had a very distinctive look, regardless if it's summer, spring, fall or winter. So regardless of when your wedding takes place, you can also incorporate a Victorian theme. Try using a traditional Victorian caroling party as your guide, or go with a more pioneer-spirited winter barn dance.

Either way, you'll need some warm, likely velvet and fur, Victorian clothes. Remember that historical weddings need more money for garments, since things usually need to be elaborate re-creations.

RUSSIAN

If there are two things the Russian culture knows about, it's throwing parties and dealing with snow! Invoke a more indulgent age and tweak the Victorian theme by modeling your wedding theme after the styles of Tsarist Russia.

Or think about the amazing wood and painting done by peasants and decorate with that colorful style. Provide well-known Russian food and drinks, and think about using assorted Russian folk music for the reception.
