A winter wedding can be a joyful, memorable time at a great time of year.  However, many winter brides have found that a wedding can be a very expensive affair.  However, planning a winter wedding does not need to put you out of house and home.  A wonderful winter wedding can be achieved – even on a budget.

The color white has long been synonymous with brides and weddings as well as with winter.  This is why snow and snowflakes have become such popular winter themes for weddings.  Many winter brides choose to make white the color of many things having to do with their wedding.  Tables can be lined with white linen, sparkling snowflakes can be hung as winter décor, and white Christmas lights can create a magical ambiance in the reception hall.  All of these small touches can be cheap to achieve but will make the ambiance of the reception hall seem magical. 

Even the cake can be decorated with a snowflake theme to complete the décor of your winter wedding.  If you know a friend or family member who is a talented baker, why not ask for a homemade wedding cake?  After all, it is just going to be eaten!

Winter music is often played at winter weddings.  If the bride and groom celebrate Christmas and the wedding is held during the holiday season they may choose to play some Christmas Carols during the reception ceremony.  Why not look through your own CD collection and find music you would like to be played at the wedding?  White flowers make nice centerpieces for the tables at the wedding reception.  Another popular idea is white votive candles, which give the reception hall a cozy feel.  These items can often be found at stores such as dollar stores or the Christmas Tree Shop, where they can be bought in large quantities for low prices.

Stationary for the wedding can also be created to match the winter wedding theme.  Winter wedding invitations can be printed on white paper with silver or gold print.  They often can include snowflakes or other symbols of winter on them.  The wedding programs can be done similarly, accentuating the winter wedding theme.  With all of the things you can do on your own home computer, why not create your own invitations and stationary?  It will be much cheaper than ordering them and you will have direct say over how they turn out.

If the bride and groom celebrate Christmas and most of their guests do as well, they may choose to purchase a number of solid colored Christmas balls.  The bride and groom can write the name of guests on a ball and hand them out as wedding favors.  Often, Christmas balls can be bought in bulks and may not cost the bride and groom an ordinate amount of money.  Guests are sure to enjoy having a keepsake of the fabulous winter wedding they attended.  Even guests who do not celebrate Christmas or do not buy a Christmas tree can hang the ball decoration elsewhere as a keepsake from the wedding.

When choosing a wedding theme it is very important for many brides and grooms to have all aspects of the wedding coordinated.  This can make choosing a theme difficult but for those who plan a winter wedding, using a winter theme can make planning much more simple and cheap.  The winter wedding theme is very easy to coordinate and can make the stress of planning a wedding seem much less intense.  Winter weddings can be easily planned if the bride and groom are on a budget.  You and your guests are sure to be pleased with the wondrous winter theme of your winter wedding.
