 Styles, colors, dresses, all seem to come and go. One day they are in style the next they aren’t. However one wedding tradition never seems to disappear. Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue.

Here is one tradition we see in almost every wedding, whether it’s the ultra modern bride, the traditional one, or even the bride who really wants her day to be unique and a little out there. For some reason this one seems to stand the test of time. So for those brides out there who want to hold on to this sentiment, we wanted to offer a few ideas that maybe you didn’t think of to incorporate this great tradition.

The idea of a winter wonderland conjures up ideas of white on white, sparkle, twinkle lights, and of course snow. Done right, these pieces can create a beautiful setting for a wedding or any party, but done wrong, and it’s a snowy mess!

So if a winter wonderland is the setting you’ve been dreaming of for your next event or for your big day, take a look at these inspirations we found for you.

Floral

Lets start with floral designs. Here are a few ways to use flowers and other little pieces to add that winter feel. Check out how other elements like berries, pine cones, and cotton were used to create these very different looks.

Centerpieces & Tablescapes

Here are a few examples of the different ways to get the winter look. First by using monotone colors, like white, cream and ivory. The second is incorporating real outdoor winter elements such as twigs, branches and pinecones.

We hope that for those of you that are in love with winter as much as we are, and want to make it a part of your next event, that this has been helpful. If you desire to create a winter wonderland, but are still not sure how, or simply want a little extra help, we would love to assist you in the design and creation of your dream!

It is Wedding Wednesday again and this week we are going to be looking at Rustic Weddings, and the various elements that go into the design and creation.

Take a look at how elements of greenery and burlap, as well as wood and glass are used to create an elegant yet rustic atmosphere.

Another great aspect of a rustic them is that it doesn't have to be expensive. Many pieces that create this feel are commonly found at home, if not yours, then at your friends and families. Also you can look at antique and second hand stores for more great finds!

These are just a few ideas to get you inspire you if a rustic wedding is what you want! Think maybe you could use a little help? Give us a call at 253.292.1482, or email at contact@essenceofevents.com
