Designing a Winter Wedding Wonderland With Utah Events by Design

Written by~Michelle Cousins owner of Utah Events by Design

At Utah Events by Design, we love a classic winter wedding! There’s nothing better than enjoying the fine ambiance of a cozy indoor reception while the silent snow blankets the crisp world outside. And, we enjoy utilizing all the fabulous Utah resources available to us during our winter months to make these seasonal weddings come to life.

Given the nature of winters in Utah, there are some fine décor resources available during this season, but what may surprise you is that not all these resources consist of pine cones and holly berries. Yes, you read that correctly: we are firm believers that winter weddings don’t necessarily require a color pallet that consists of red and green, or even blue and silver. Don’t believe us? Check out the following vision boards we’ve put together which are inspired by non-traditional winter color pallets:

Jewel Tones

We’ve fallen in love with the rich, sultry colors of the jewel tone family. This collection is bold, warm, and demands attention when adorning a room. From richly-colored linens to vibrant floral embellishments, any combination of jewel tones, or all of them for that matter, create an ambiance that is bound to dazzle guests and compliment any wedding reception.

Let it Snow

If bold Jewel tones aren’t your thing, that’s okay. There are still lots of ways to make a similar statement by going in the opposite direction. Instead of utilizing a rich color pallet, demand attention with no color at all! A solid white wedding pallet is breath-taking and more than appropriate for the frosty season. It’s amazing how graceful and elegant a room becomes when dressed to the nines with shades of white, crystals, candles, and stunning, creamy floral arrangements.

Cinnamon and Sugar Plums

If you’ve decided that you’re after a strong, dramatic color collection, might we suggest our favorite color combination of reds and purples? To get the most out of these trending colors, combine all shades within each plum and cinnamon color family for a dramatic yet classic look. Rich satin linens, fluffy and full floral arrangements and crystal broaches easily complete this look and define any space.

Merry Metallics

Torn between using color and taking advantage of the neutral ambiance of a fresh white pallet? Then utilizing a combination of dazzling metallics such as gold, copper, silver and brass might just be the look for you. Combine the best of both worlds to create a timeless appearance that guests will both appreciate and admire.

Retro Jolly

This retro-inspired color pallet unites the cool greens and blues of the jewel tone family with the crisp whites of a neutral pallet and the result is an eye-catching and fun color combination. This playful look retains elegance while still expressing a unique and cheerful ambiance. A splash of rich color is all you need to spruce up any winter wedding celebration.

As you can see, not every winter wedding has to look like the holidays exploded. With the right color selections, your winter celebration can be as fantastic as the frosty season without cliché décor and boring colors. And, when you work with Utah Events by Design, you’re guaranteed a wedding inspiration board that embraces stylish design from which we’ll bring your winter wedding visions to life.
