With the impending snowstorm this week I can’t help but think about how romantic snow really is. Glistening white, sparkling in the sun, and the winter wonderland that is created when all of the trees are coated on the beautiful back roads of New Hampshire. Why can’t we capture this beauty in the things that we create?

The sparkle that snow has can’t just be recreated by throwing some craft glitter down on a table….it needs to be carefully thought out and executed. Consider taking a solid white cloth and finding an overlay that can be a light white organza that may have a bit of a sheen to it. This would allow for the light in the room to reflect off of the sparkle that is in the cloth, which would make the shimmer that you see on the table, similar to the shimmer that is created by the sunlight hitting the snow.

Don’t let your winter wedding be dictated by a “snow” theme. Allow yourself to pick up other natural elements that remind you of winter….birch tree branches in the centerpiece, a rich silver charger underneath a silver lined plate, and crystal goblets to mimic the different “cuts” of a snowflake.

Winter wedding foods can also be quite enjoyable…since most people tend to think of late spring, summer and fall as “wedding season” having your wedding in the winter months can absolutely allow you to set yourself apart from everyone else. Serve a luscious lobster bisque as a starter course, a salad with a poached pear and warmed goat cheese….yum! I’m getting hungry just thinking about it! For the main course do something completely out of the box…serve roasted half chickens resting on a sweet potato base and topped with some fresh sprigs of rosemary; as a vegetarian option serve stuffed roasted artichokes and root vegetables with a warm bernaise dipping sauce on the side. Top off the meal with a white chocolate raspberry layered cake served with white hot chocolate and raspberry liqouer. The colors in these meals can create the entire palette for your wedding!
