For a bride, the most memorable moment is when she made her way down the aisle all decked out in the glowing and expensive designer wedding gown! At that exact moment, all the eyes are glued to her and she just becomes the center of attention! The wedding guests can’t keep their eyes off her and even our professional photographers and videographers just can’t’ stop capturing her in their cameras! In order to bring in the true and real winter vibe while a bride walks down the aisle without the actual snow, you can consider getting a gleaming white carpet runner and sprinkling white or silver glitter into it! This kind of setting will create an illusion of walking on the snow to get to the altar! To make a bride’s entrance more swanky and winter authentic, you can also consider lighting the aisle with candles leading to the altar that is decorated with seasonal blooms such as roses, hydrangeas, garden roses, and white cherry blossoms! You can also consider bringing in ivory-colored curtains placed in such a way that they reveal the aisle edge which you can consider garnishing with sprawling seasonal greenery!
It does not matter whether you are yourself planning to decorate your wedding venue or just hiring a professional decorator to elevate the entire look of your wedding venue, to keep the winter feel alive throughout the celebration from start to finish, make sure that lighting is being used to its full potential! You can bring in soft, blue lights as they create a romantic illusion of “cold” and make the entire ambiance feel more wintery than it really is!

With a white aisle setting inside, a spring of glistening twinkle lights can help set the overall mood and tone of your winter wedding in warm climates! For more unique and creative lighting decor ideas, you can consider dangling them from the ceiling, or even adding them into the tablescape decor, or even stringing them into a majestic canopy at your wedding reception!
