Winter Wedding Decorations

When it comes to winter decorations for weddings and winter wedding places to tie the knot, they don't get much better than the ones we've lined up for you. From hanging florals to candles galore, these winter wedding ideas will help you to transform your venue into a festive wonderland.

1. Floral Winter Wedding Arch

Nothing says winter themed wedding quite like winter flowers - it's one of those things you can incorporate into a winter wedding in December, January or February - and to take it to that next level, we love the idea of asking your florist to arrange them into a gorgeous floral arch for you to get married in front of.

This winter wedding arch at The Oakwood at Ryther is the perfect example of how winter-themed blooms can completely transform an altar. The florist here has paired crisp foliage with netral dried flowers to create the ultimate wintery decoration - we're obsessed!

2. Hanging Florals

While we're on the topic of flowers, it'd be criminal not to share the hanging florals here at Dewsall Court. Using winter-themed green foliage and hanging it from the ceiling of your wedding venue can completely transform a room, turning it into a winter wonderland wedding setting.

By hanging florals from the ceiling, you give the illusion that the room is smaller, making it feel cosy and festive, and it also means you have less work to do decorating the tables, as you want to avoid having too much going on.

3. Woodland Decor

From hanging foliage which covers the whole ceiling, to something that's quite the opposite, but has just as much of an impact. At The Tythe Barn Launton, the venue have decorated their brick barn with arching twigs and branches to create a winter woodland feel, and we absolutely love it.

The delicacy of the branches makes for an understated nod to a winter wedding theme and ties in perfectly with the dainty fairy lights.

4. Fairy Lights

Fairy lights, as you will probably know, are absolutely incredible at creating an atmospheric vibe in any room, especially at winter. Nothing says festive quite like twinkling lights that remind us all of our Christmas tree, so take our advice, if you're planning a winter wedding in December, make sure your venue has some fairy lights on hand.

We adore the fairy light display at The Normans - they're known for the incredible light backdrop at the end of their altar, it's so impressive.

5. Festive Light Installations

The Oakwood at Ryther also has an impressive fairy lights backdrop, but what really caught our eye were the unique light installations which hang above the aisle. Hanging light decorations like this can transform all winter wedding places into a winter wedding setting and will look amazing in your pictures.

6. Light-Up Baubles

Another example of gorgeous lighting at winter weddings is this display of light-up baubles at Dewsall Court.

Here, they have combined the light-up baubles with fairy lights and foliage, but the baubles alone would elevate any winter wedding theme, and the subtle nod to Christmas makes it the perfect decoration idea for couples planning winter weddings in December.

7. Bow-Back Chairs

If you're having a winter wedding in December and want to pay homage to the festive season (without doing anything too literal), why not add sweet bows onto the back of your chairs - wrapping them up like presents under the tree?

We love the rich rust-orange colour used on these chairs at South Causey Inn, as they contrast perfectly with the dark black colour of the chairs. 

Having a colour as warm as this helps to create a cosy ambiance, and it's a great idea for anyone planning a winter wedding on a budget, as tying these bows is something you can totally do yourself with shop-bought ribbons.

8. Winter Wedding Chair Flowers

For a more natural wedding chair decoration look, consider adding winter flowers and foliage to the back of your chairs. We love the way these rustic wedding chairs have been decorated at Swancar Farm Country House - the pastel green colour of the leaves suits a winter wedding theme perfectly and the bride's foliage crown ties in perfectly.

9. Candles, Plenty of Them

We've all heard of tablescapes, but let us introduce you to candlescapes...

Getting the table decor at winter weddings right is vital to nailing the theme, and one way to ensure the perfect amount of ambiance is to line your tables with candles, and lots of them!

Candles give a room an instant wintery feel, and we love the way that wedding planner Ella Hartig has paired tall candelabras with smaller tea lights, filling the room with the feeling of romantic flickering lights.

Top tip from us - use candles with wintery scents like cinnamon, mulled wine and pine for the ultimate winter wedding feel.

10. Faux Fur Warmers

If you're planning a winter wedding in a barn or semi-open space, you may worry that your guests will get a bit chilly - but one (very stylish!) way to overcome that is to add faux fur warmers to the back of your chairs, just like the ones here at The Dragon's Gate.

Whether you opt for individual fur warmers, or cosy blankets for guests to share, it's a great way to keep everyone warm whilst still in-keeping with your winter wedding theme.

11. Fresh Mistletoe

What better way to pay homage to a winter wedding in December than adding a flirty sprig of mistletoe to your place settings? We love this idea from Ambience Venue Styling of using fresh foliage to adorn guest place settings - it's such a small detail that makes the world of difference.

They have used a different bloom, but for winter wedding themes, we reckon you should add a bit of mistletoe to your tablescape and encourage your guests to spread them love.

It's a great ice-breaker and your single friends may thank you for it...

12. Winter Berry Decor

You could spend a fortune on lavish, elaborate winter table decorations, we're here for that.

This spread, put together by Disco Dining, proves that simple centrepieces can pack an equally impressive punch when done right.

13. Rugs, Rugs, Rugs

You may be thinking, rugs? At a wedding? Really? Yes, really. In fact, adding rugs and soft furnishings to winter weddings works both practically and aesthetically. Practically, it warms up the room, which can be especially handy if you're getting married in an industrial venue which gets cold in the winter. 

And aesthetically, it helps to create a really warm, cosy atmosphere, making your venue feel like a super fancy home away from home.

It's also a great way to add colour to a winter wedding venue without it costing you a fortune. These red toned rugs at The Dragon's Gate venue really complete the look here.

14. Statement Staircases

If you want a serious 'wow' moment at your winter wedding, work with your florist and venue to create a statement winter wedding themed staircase for you to make your grand entrance on. We're in love with what the team at Caribou Events have done here - it's a real show-stopper.

Not only will this cement your winter wedding theme, but it'll also act as an amazing picture moment for your guests to snap some killer shots - once you've got yours, of course.

When you think about the weather at winter weddings in January and February specifically, you think of frost and ice, and one way you can bring this into your wedding is by using frosted perspex for your wedding signs and stationery. 

These signs by Inketch Ltd pair a translucent, frosted background, with simple white text to create the ultimate winter wedding signs. This couple have used this for their welcome sign, table plan, table numbers, guest book sign and more. 

You could even take this one step further and have frosted tissue paper incorporated into your wedding stationery so it ties in with what you want to do on the day. We do love a bit of matchy-matchy.

Planning a Winter Wedding: Dos & Don'ts According to an Expert

If your heart is set on a festive celebration, then it's a smart idea to get some advice from a wedding planning expert. That's why we've asked Jess, the owner of Occasion Queens - a venue and event specialist in Central London to answer our most burning questions when it comes to pulling off the perfect winter celebration. 

From winter wedding dos and don'ts to securing the best venue for a festive reception, Jess is an expert in pulling off elaborate, beautiful events all across the UK, from country manors to town halls. 

So, let's hear what she had to say! 

What Are Your Winter Wedding Dos & Don'ts? 

"Do: Embrace the season! Incorporate warm, cozy elements like blankets, candlelight, and rich textures to create an intimate atmosphere. Think about lighting, as winter weddings get darker earlier – twinkling fairy lights or candles can add a magical glow.

"The use of wintery colours such as emerald green, burgundy and navy look beautiful in the colder months. 

"Don’t: Forget to consider your guests' comfort. Make sure your venue has a good heating system and provide ways for guests to stay warm, especially if any part of your wedding is outdoors. It’s also a good idea to have a cloakroom or space for guests to store their coats."

What Are Some Common Mistakes When Planning a Winter Wedding?

"One common mistake is underestimating how early it gets dark. If you’re dreaming of outdoor photos or any activities, make sure to schedule them earlier in the day. Another mistake is not accounting for potential travel disruptions due to weather. Make sure you have a plan B in case snow or icy conditions affect travel for you or your guests."

What Are The Best Tips for Planning a Winter Wedding?

"One tip for making the best of the light is to have a first look together before your ceremony, not only does it give you both a chance to have some time together on your wedding day, but you can also get your portrait photos done earlier in the day, meaning you can spend the rest of your day enjoying time with your loved ones. 

"Choose a venue with a strong indoor space since the weather may not allow for outdoor festivities. Winter is also a great time to get creative with your menu – think hot cocktails like mulled wine or hot chocolate, and heartier meals that are comforting in colder weather.

"Also, take advantage of off-peak season discounts! Many venues and suppliers offer better rates for winter weddings, so you can often stretch your budget further."

What Are The Best Winter Wedding Decorations?

"Winter weddings are all about embracing the coziness of the season. Think lush greenery with touches of deep reds, golds, and metallics. Incorporate natural elements like pinecones, holly, and wood accents for a rustic touch. Candles, lanterns, and string lights will give the space a warm glow, perfect for the season.

"Consider using winter-specific flowers like amaryllis or incorporating berries and frosted branches for that festive winter feel."

What Are The Best Flowers for a Winter Wedding?

"Winter weddings offer the chance to use beautiful seasonal flowers like amaryllis, anemones, ranunculus, and roses. You can also add in some festive touches with holly, mistletoe, or berries. For greenery, eucalyptus or fir branches bring in that wintery feel, while deep red or white blooms look stunning against the winter backdrop."
