Add Sparkle to a Winter Wedding

An increasing number of brides are choosing to avoid summer weather worries and are opting instead for a winter wedding, when a little snow, fog or even rain can only add to the romance and atmosphere of the day. Winter weddings are perfect for indulging your magpie-like tendencies and choosing to really sparkle. You could accentuate the magic of the season by incorporating snowflakes in your theme. These beautiful symbols of winter can add a touch of magic to your day in many ways. Or choose to dazzle with ice queen accessories which will melt his heart.

Hair Accessories

You can add seasonal sparkle to your hair by wearing a snowflake tiara, either with a little height (image 1) to complement an upswept style, or in an alice-band style to add instant glamour to loose hair.

Matching hairpins could be used for bridesmaids to complement the bride’s tiara. These are perfect for adding interest at random intervals in the back or side of a glamorous up-do. They could also be made on a hairgrip for younger flower-girls. Or use a crystal-covered comb to add a dash of winter frosting as required.

Winter weddings are also the perfect excuse to transform yourself into a real ice queen. Flutter your eyelashes coquettishly from beneath a sparkling crystal-covered crown and make his heart beat a little faster. These statement pieces are perfect for the season and will ensure a dramatic entrance.

Jewellery

Choose to add a wintry embrace to your décolletage by wearing a delicate snowflake pendant or dazzle like a snow-princess with crystal icicles falling from a sparkling choker. You can choose from crystals in a myriad of colours to match your theme. All of these pieces can look just as stunning in fiery red, icy blue or sultry purple as they do in clear crystal, so don’t be afraid to try something different.

Another more subtle alternative is to wear icy-looking earrings or a bracelet. Swarovski crystals are beautifully cut to maximise sparkle, and are a perfect way to accessorise in the winter season.

Don’t be down-hearted if the weather forecast shouts rain, simply echo the conditions with a crystal droplet necklace and earrings and make the rain your matching accessory

Bouquets

Beautiful ivory-white roses look simply stunning, and the rich blush of deep red roses or even poinsettia also look beautiful in the winter season. Crystal stems can be added to your flowers to provide some sparkle. The romantic in you will love Swarovski heart crystal stems which come in a variety of colours. If you want to carry the snowflake theme through to your bouquet, choose snowflake crystal stems (image 14) to add a touch of magic to your flowers.

Crystal bouquets are also a beautiful alternative. These contemporary pieces can be kept for a lifetime as a stunning reminder of your special day, and there are various shapes available. Icy crystal tendrils can evoke frost-covered branches. A sparkling crystal snowflake-shaped bouquet is a unique way to continue the snowflake theme.
