Do you fancy having your unforgettable marriage ceremony during the winter season at a dream wedding destination in the heart of Europe and with Italy as your ideal spot?
Picture yourself having a horse-drawn sleigh ride, sipping hot cocoa at the reception, surrounded by original décor and accessories.
This winter, be a Just Amore bride at a splendid venue in Italy.
A winter-themed wedding holds its own charm and beauty;
from intricate embroidery on the bride’s bodice reminiscent of snowflake patterns to the groom’s sharp festive suit, to the food and drinks laid out in a rustic décor with pine cones, silvery wreaths, and mistletoe leaves elegantly set.
Italy offers ideal snowy winter wedding venues.
How about you celebrate your marriage in a beautiful church in the Alps mountains or a town hall in a small village and then treat your guests to one of the Alpine restaurants that offer an amazing view of the Italian Alps? Cool wreaths, garlands, table runners, lot of candles, lanterns filled with ornaments and wood logs as candle holder stands to make your winter wedding even more special.
Or, you can choose the illusion of a transparent marquee to host your reception and give your guests the impression they are outside with frozen ice statues, ghost chairs, crystal chandeliers, and white frosty branches for a dramatic effect.
In the northern region of Italy, you can also find many splendid castles turned into sublime locations that are an idyllic spot for a winter wedding. Dolomites, Mont Blanc, Lombardy, and Piemont mountains provide breathtaking destination wedding venues in the land of Amore.
The winter season offers plenty of opportunities for stunning and memorable wedding photos.
With snow as a backdrop to a gorgeous winter landscape and frost dusted over tree branches, nothing can be more romantic than arriving on a horse-drawn sleigh and you can continue on a ski holiday as your honeymoon.
Just Amore, your wedding planner in Italy, can capture the essence of the winter season and weave many themes and motifs on your special day. Colors of deep red, forest green, and gold perfectly reflect the magic of the merry season against a white backdrop of mountain peaks. We favor sophisticated romance for the snow queen with a bold palette of red roses with green centerpieces.
The bride can stay cozy while draping herself with a chic cover-up or adds a fashionable taste with her bridesmaids and accessorizes with stylish wraps or faux furs and cashmere scarves for the groomsmen! Or how about keeping warm in a fluffy bolero over the wedding dress or wrapping a romantic silk velvet cloak with a pair of stylish boots?
Wedding colours
Brides can capture the crystalline beauty of the winter season with dramatic white and silver, white with golden hues or silver, grey and pale blue. For a romantic effect, few silver leaves, sequins, beads, fur branches and tendrils of delicate and graceful snowdrops transform the classic white into a romantic and glamorous wintry display for your wedding in Italy.
Turn to rich reds with a combination of some of the above to create an elegant and festive mood for your centerpieces.
We suggest a creative touch to your bridal bouquet with fresh flowers, crystals, or even feathers. To reflect the snowy season, silver leaves and white-tipped pine cones add to that frosty effect. Winter flowers can also include festive holiday red flowers such as the amaryllis blossoms or red roses for a stunning bridal bouquet.
An outdoor wedding cocktail with mulled wine, hot chocolate or spicy tea infusions around an oudoor fire pit can open your festivities. You can decorate the outside area with ice candle lanterns to have that snowy fairytale ambience.
How about you serve food at your reception that withstand the cold weather and provide your guests with a vivid insight into the northern Italy’s culture and tradition? Mini pizzas, bruschettas, polenta and focaccia for appetizers. Soups like Tortellini in brodo or Ribollita as starters. Melanzane alla parmigiana, Ossobucco, Gnocchi with wild boar sauce are top comfort foods for the coldest month in the Italian mountains.
Eggnog lollipops and chocolate-covered pretzels in Mason jar snow globes will also create a scene from the winter season with snowflake candles.
Panettone and Pandoro, the Italian Christmas cakes that will remind you of the festive season, can be served next to a hot cocoa station. A decadent crème brûlée served with espresso coffe and an all white “Italian Confetti” sweet table will complete your menu. A must have is the favorite Italian winter drink, served in Italy’s ski resorts, known as Bombardino -Literaly “the bomb”-. Comprised of half eggnog and half brandy, it is served hot with whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon.
Let’s not forget the wedding cake! Frosted, icing reminiscent of icicles, ice-blue fondant, ruffles, silver beads, snowflakes…Or for a rustic wedding, you can adorn your naked cake with alpine greenery, tiny pine cones, and delicious berries. For a lasting winter touch, this cake can be dusted with crystalized sugar to create a snowy effect.
Want a favor that your guests will definitely use? How about gloves to keep them warm or snug blankets embroidered with both your initials?
For the ultimate winter souvenir, we suggest personalized candles with a pine scent infused with champagne, or vanilla or spices.
