A beautiful winter wedding place setting.

I hate to say it, but winter has definitely arrived here in Chicago.  With the first snow fall this early in the season I guess it’s time to post some winter wedding ideas.

Who doesn’t love a good cup of hot chocolate on a cold evening? Instead of a sweet table, consider a hot chocolate bar with lots of marshmallows.  You can even create a libation inspired hot chocolate bar by adding Peppermint Schnapps, Bailey’s, or Raspberry  and Cinnamon liqueurs. Your guests will feel warm and cozy even in the deep mid-winter.

Treat your guests to a delicious Hot Chocolate Bar.

We love the idea of adding branches, pine needles and pinecones into your winter wedding theme.  Centerpieces, place cards and even your wedding cake will look warm and woodsy.

These pine cone escort cards add a home made touch to your winter wedding.

And of course we can’t forget the impact lighting has in transforming your wedding into a Winter Wonderland!  Cool blues, warm amber tones or deep reds can bring your vision to life.  Our designers at Elegant Event Lighting are always here to help you create the perfect winter wedding.
