Tis’ the season to Eat, Drink and Be Married? Although wedding season may be coming to a close, there are various brides willing to “whether the cold weather” for their own personal winter wedding wonderland. A big issue these brides run into during the planning process is budgeting for floral arrangements. Instead of breaking the bank on extravagant floral decorations, here are a few alternatives that will seamlessly blend the beauty of nature with your winter wedding.
1) Centerpieces- A popular wedding centerpiece that is not only festive but classic is twig and branch arrangements. This simple and natural idea is cost effective and incorporates the beauty of winter into your wedding. My favorite use of this concept is filling large, clear, cylindrical vases with white spray painted branches in the center of banquet rounds. By doing this you are creating height and dimension to your reception area.
2) Wishing Tree- This concept is relatively new to the wedding scene but has grown in popularity over the past year. The wishing tree has become not only a sign in book for your guests, but also the chance for married couples to pass their advice and wisdom on to the newlyweds. This array of branches is an interactive way to allow your family and friends be apart of the successful start to your marriage.
3) Arch ways- Branches and Twigs Couture Floral and Event Design has taken the use of twigs and natural elements in a ceremony to a new level. Their concept of Woodland Glamour modernizes the classic arch with the use of hanging tea lights and subtle greenery. This way, even if it is too chilly for an outdoor ceremony, you will be able to bring the beauty of nature indoors.
Even though ever flower has its season, love is always in bloom and shouldn’t hinder you from incorporating the beauty of nature into your big day. Therefore, even if your dream floral arrangements are out of season, you can still have a natural element to your wedding at an affordable cost.
