What do you think of this for a Winter wedding theme?

I heard that alot of brides who want a winter wedding can get discounts on alot of snowy decorations, because stores are moving everything out by January for spring stuff and Valentine's day stuff. I'm thinking about having the theme in whites, crystals, and pale blues. Pale blue accents everywhere... kind of mixing with the cold, ice theme.

1. I'm liking it...glad you weren't thinking of the old green and red christmas theme. Just make sure the blue isn't too pale or your wedding will seem colorless.
2. Actually thats a really good idea and you are right its cheap to get snow stuff becaus they are moving it all out...Thats a great idea, sounds pretty!
3. that's an awesome idea, just make sure that they are not the crappy 10 for a dollar stuff. As long as you make it look nice, it sounds like a party i'd like to go to. Maybe you could have a dress code too, like men wear black, women white, or everyone has to wear something pale blue? I dunno, its an idea. Congrads and hope it works for ya!
4. it sounds beautiful acctually it would be nice if your got some doves too they fly around nyc in the winter or like white peacocks would be even better i dont know your budget but you wanted advice
5. It is a good idea and you could do a lot of cool stuff with it like having a signature drink made with Blue UV vodka. You could also use a lot of white Christmas lights too. Congrats!
6. sounds beautiful. Try a photographer that can do black and wht photos with the blue that you use in the wedding as the only color in the photo, say, like the sash on your dress and his tie. You might be surprised just how beautiful those photos will be. Congrats!
7. sounds beautiful. go for it.
8. Another winter wedding bride! I love winter, that's why I'm having a winter wedding. I'm having a romantic Christmas wedding with a deep red, pure white, and slightly silver color scheme. We're having it in the Poconos Mountains to assure snow. Originally, I chose white, light blue, and silver as my color scheme, but I changed my mind because it was really important to me to have roses. And white roses yellow to fast to have them at a wedding, so I went with the traditional red. However, I've still got a lot of ideas from when I was thinking about doing that. So I'll share. First of all, I was going to have a snowflake theme (I still am, too). I found a really great line called "Winter Wonderland" that is white, light blue, and sliver. It comes with snowflake accents on everything- ring pillow, guest book, unity candle, garter, everything! And the line is super cheap and super beautiful. Google it, because it'll really work with any specific theme you choose within winter. Also, glass and crystal are amazing. Use flower-filled glass vases as centerpieces. They reflect the light and look like ice. Use crystal dinner to continue with the ice-like look. This looks ten times better if you have candlelight at your wedding and wedding reception. Also, for the centerpieces you can buy instant ice crystals super cheap. They come in little bags and one tablespoon makes about a gallon of instant ice. Just put it in with your centerpiece flowers and it'll fill the vase with these gel-like crystals that look exactly like ice. It's beautiful! Also, you can set up some Christmas trees. They're really cheap before and after Christmas, like 50 dollars for a 5' tree. Get some, and get some ornaments in white, light blue, and silver. Then put out some decorating items so your guests can decorate ornaments and place them on the trees. It's much more interesting and a conversation piece than a guest book (although I'm going to do both), and you can cherish those throughout the years. Think of what kind of food you want to serve, too. A winter-y feast would hit just the right spot with guests, with hot cider, hot chocolate, baked ham, sweet potatoes, or whatever is traditional winter food in your family. They sell a lot of decorative items you can use, like fake dusting of snow, scattered ice crystals, and snowflake confetti. It's all super cheap. Look online because you can buy in bulk at any time of year, not just after Christmas when everything's somewhat picked over. However, you can find some good deals and some good ideas after Christmas. Think about having an ice sculpture, or miniature ones. They only run about 300 dollars each. Also, google ice sculpture molds online, because I've seen miniature ice sculpture molds that you simply fill up with water and then let it freeze until you open in later to reveal the ice sculpture. Those would make super cheap and super cute centerpieces... just don't forget an ice sculpture tray underneath because your ice-like wedding may become a wet one. There are so, so, so many more ideas I have to offer. If you want some more help or more ideas, just let me know! I'm totally willing to help, because winter wedding brides are seriously the best.
