Jan 04, 2023 | Inspiration

There are many perks to having a winter wedding and creating a gorgeously cozy reception space is high up on the list. Is there anything more soul warming than a celebratory meal with your loved ones amid the romantic glow of candlelight? We think not! There are myriad ways to style your winter wedding reception, from elegantly sumptuous to minimalist modern, and everything in between. Here's our pick of some gorgeous wintery color palettes to inspire your cold weather wedding.

1. Green and white winter wedding

Classic and timeless, a green and white color palette works at any time of year but we particularly love it in wintertime styled with an abundance of candles and twinkling lights. Go big on the seasonal greenery, decorating with swathes of evergreens and eucalyptus on chandeliers, bannisters, mantelpieces and even as a lush table runner.

2. White winter wedding receptions

If in doubt, all white wedding flowers are always a good idea! We love the chic simplicity of all white table centerpieces, brought to life with different textured flowers and foliage styled with beautiful fabrics and metallic details.

3. White and gold wedding receptions

Adding a metallic touch of gold, rose gold or copper to your tabletop styling gives a glamorous elegance that's perfect for a winter wedding. Bronze candlesticks, gold flatware and even foliage sprayed in metallic hues will shimmer in candlelight and add an extra dimension to your wedding tablescape.

5. Blue winter wedding receptions

Blue might not immediately spring to mind for a winter wedding, but it reminds us of vast icy tundras and works really well with snow whites as well as warm earthy tones.

5. Black winter wedding ideas

Black brings a certain mood and formality to weddings that works particularly well in winter. Whether you choose natural elements like inky berries, flowers and foliage or accessories such as candles, candlesticks, flatware and hardware, black can add style and gravitas to your tablescape like no other color. Pair with green and white for a crisp timeless look, or add in earthy tones to create more of a rustic feel.
