WINTER WEDDING THEMES:

Fairy Tale Theme Wedding

 For those who wants something fun and whimsical

If you have more whimsical tastes, there are plenty of fun theme weddings that can be done in the winter that don’t work at any other time of the year. One of the most fun and whimsical winter wedding themes is a Jack Frost/Fairy fantasy theme wedding. Usually, this theme works best in the dead of winter, when everyone is sick and tired of the cold and snow and could use a reminder of how magical the winter can be.

The Jack Frost/Fairy theme can also be used in early December, just before everyone starts gearing up for the Christmas holidays. For this theme, having snow and ice is a requirement so you’ll need to hold the wedding and reception somewhere where it will be cold and snowy. If you’ve ever wanted to be a fairy princess this is the wedding theme for you!

For a Jack Frost/Fairy theme wedding, think of all the sparkle and whimsy of winter. Colors should be cool blues, pale purples, silver, and, of course, white. There should be sparkles everywhere! To decorate the church or wedding hall, cover anything that stands still in white satin with sparkly silver ribbons.

Flowers should be cool colored. White roses and calla lilies with baby’s breath make a beautiful bridal bouquet. To decorate the church and to add color to the bridal bouquet or hall, use white and pale purple carnations or white and pale purple roses. Lavender roses can be difficult to find, but are stunning when used in a bridal bouquet.

Keep your dress soft and gauzy, appropriate for a fairy princess. A corseted dress with layers of chiffon covered in silver embroidery is a beautiful choice for a Jack Frost/Fairy theme wedding. Have the men dress in fairy costume style clothing if you can get them to agree to it, but since most fairy costumes involve tights they might not be too agreeable to that. If they refuse the fairy finery, choose classic tuxedos with silver or purple vests.

Dress your attendants in gauzy, flowing gowns in lavender and pale blue with long flowing sleeves and sweetheart necklines. Since it will be cold, they will appreciate the long sleeves. If it’s too cold, have a silver or white shawl for yourself and lavender or blue shawls for your attendants. Pashmina shawls are beautiful, very light, and very warm and are a great choice for a winter wedding.

Jewelry should be silver or diamonds, and you and your bridesmaids can wear some light body glitter or wear some shimmering body powder to give your skin an ethereal look and be sure to keep the makeup light and pale. Teardrop diamond earrings or pretty diamond necklaces that could be worn during the ceremony would make lovely bridesmaids gifts, if you can afford them. You should wear a delicate headpiece, like a tiara or a wreath of roses.

Decorating the reception hall for a Jack Frost/Fairy theme wedding is lots of fun. Make sure that the reception hall has lots of windows. If there is no real ice to coat the windows, buy spray on ice from a craft store that can be sprayed on windows and walls to give an ice effect. Cover the walls with white paper and spray the fake ice on the walls, or draw murals on the paper to give the effect of being inside an ice castle.

Make snowflakes out of tin foil or foil paper and hang them from the ceiling. Definitely have an ice sculpture or two and maybe a champagne fountain as well. Placing some Victorian gazing balls throughout the room will add color and reflect light. For the children, set up a “kid’s area” with lots of paper, crayons or markers, coloring books, and a portable DVD player along with some fun animated movies.

Since you are creating the feeling of ice and cold, make sure that there is a “hot drink bar” with lots of different gourmet hot chocolates, teas, and coffees along with delicate snacks like ladyfingers or tea cookies where family and friends can make hot chocolate, tea, and coffee to warm up. If the reception hall has a fireplace, make sure there is a blazing fire for anyone who gets cold. To decorate the tables, use lots of sparkling crystal and sprinkle glitter everywhere. White or silver floating candles in crystal bowls of water will add to the “ice” effect. For unique wedding favors put edible silver-coated Jordan almonds in shimmer bags with a drawstring top along with small containers of silver, purple and blue confetti – little snowflake shapes work wonderfully. The guests can shower the bride and groom with the confetti during their first dance.

A Jack Frost/Fairy theme wedding isn’t right for everyone, but people who have whimsical or unique tastes can make a unique wedding that perfectly fits their personalities, on a budget, by using the Jack Frost/Fairy winter wedding theme. It can be a nice alternative for people who don’t want their wedding to be just like everyone else’s and really want to have a wedding that reflects their own tastes and shows off their unique personalities.

A Jack Frost/Fairy theme wedding is also a great choice for a winter wedding because it incorporates a lot of elements of the season and can be easily done on a budget if money is a concern for the bride and groom. People who live in a snowy or cold place where it’s snowy and cold most of the year can have a lot of fun by incorporating that into their wedding with a Jack Frost/Fairy wedding theme. To really make it fun, make it a costume wedding and encourage guests to wear their own fairy costumes.
