With January 1st a Friday, Saturday, January 2nd is the perfect day for hosting a winter wedding to start a new year and new life together. With 2010 comes a new year of themes and sayings that will go with your winter wedding. Here are some ideas for wedding themes as you plan your winter wedding.
Winter Wedding Wonderland
White not only is the color of the bride’s dress, it can also be the main decor of your reception hall and church for the ceremony. White candles, ribbons, flowers, tablecloths, and even white foods can be the theme of your winter wedding wonderland. Centerpieces can be a snow or ice theme. If you really wanted to get elegant you can have an ice sculpture to fit in with your wonderland. You probably don’t want to dress your bridesmaids in white, but an icy light blue color is appropriate to celebrate the frosty winter months.
You may even consider getting married outside and in the snow if you are so inclined and love snow. Getting married amongst the lovely snow covered pines of a ski resort is a beautiful setting for a winter wedding. Foods can be ice cream, an ice cream cake, or even sno cones if you want. It’s easy having a snow wedding if you want to embrace the season of snow as your wedding theme.
Perfect 10
Next year is 2010, and ten is a number of completion as our counting system is based upon ten numbers that finishes one sequence of numbers. A perfect ten is also the top score you can get in several sports such as gymnastics. Grooms can honor their new bride as being their perfect ten with a “Perfect 10” theme.
Do things in groups of ten such as ten candles, and your centerpieces on tables can be stylized numbers the make ten. You could even have five in each wedding party to make ten total. Get married at ten in the morning on the tenth, although January 10th is a Sunday and February 10th and March 10th are both Wednesdays in 2010.
New Year, New Lives
If you do get married soon after the new year, a theme can be something revolving around your new life together as a couple. You’ve probably been together for a while before you got married, but make the wedding a symbolic beginning of new lives together.
Consider having some part of your wedding in a new house or new residence that you’ve moved into as a couple. Make symbolic gestures at your wedding such as making a time capsule to open later in your marriage that will remind you of your new life you started. Have time be a theme as you are starting a new beginning. Clocks or watches can be centerpieces or even party favors. Having a bonfire outdoors as you toss some of your old things symbolically into the fire signifies leaving old things behind and starting over with your new spouse.
