A big part of The Bag Ladies business are the personalized wedding tote bags brides have come to love.
We’re noticing that winter weddings are becoming increasingly popular as unique brides look to mix up the traditional spring and summer rustic vibe everyone’s been chasing the last few years. Winter weddings are beautiful, elegant, and they’re actually a great way to save money as many venues and vendors discount their rates in the “off-season.” If you’re planning a winter wedding for the 2014/2015 season you’re probably well on your way to completion, but have you thought of all the details that will make your big day shine?
Faux Fur
Our favorite winter wedding moments usually involve a pop of super-luxurious looking fur. Cold weather brides love fur muffs and stoles and we think they look decidedly vintage. The trick is keeping the fur to a minimum (don’t have your bridesmaids wear it too, for example) to avoid the wedding looking kitschy rather than chic.
Blue
Brides have been playing with the color blue for years and many have incorporated it into their shoes, bouquets, and even veils in recent years. We’re noticing a swing towards blue-heavy wedding pallets for winter: from the flowers to the uplighting. Blue is a great color to incorporate into your wedding favors, your bridesmaid dresses, and even your specialty drink for winter as it connotes ice and snow.
Sparkle
There’s something about a lot of sparkle at a summterime barn wedding that just seems out of place. The great news is, winter is the perfect season to break out all the glitter and sequins your heart desires! From the invitations to the napkin rings, a little bling goes a long way towards making a winter wedding feel complete.
Destination Getaways
Destination weddings are popular all year long but they’re particularly welcome when the atmosphere back home is freezing. Winter brides, many flush with time off from work around the holidays, are booking weddings in tropical locations that are easy to get to and affordable for guests. Make sure you somehow tie your destination back into your home, though, maybe using a wedding welcome bag full of goodies from the city you and your beloved live in.
Jewel Tones
Jewel tones like eggplant and deep maroon are becoming increasingly popular among the winter wedding set. Fabrics like velvet hold these colors really well and it’s a great combination for brides looking to bridge the gap between fall and wintertime. There are plenty of places to incorporate these tones such as your flowers, your cake, and your favors.
