Denise I saw the cutest little snow flakes at Walmart the other day not too big not too small I think those would look smashing on Ice Blue ribbon adorning the Tables or chairs.
Cameras on the tables so that everyone can take their own pics of the happy couple, Is she doing a traditional boquet? I am wondering if you could maybe add some "snow flakes" or Ice Crystals" to it.
Is it going to be a Home wedding or will you guys be using a Church and Hall?
I am asking because I have a dear friend who's sister is getting married in Dec as well and they live in Indiana and I have been asked to help with the decorating. Their colors are Silver and Wine.
What is the date they are getting married?

They are getting married Dec. 18th.
They are getting married in a church, and we're renting the municipal building for the reception.
We bought her dress yesterday-- not cheap, but not extravagant either. . . . got the bridesmaid's dresses at DEB incredibly. They are graded shades of blue-- from the palest powder blue, to almost navy. . . with rhinestone accents.
We picked up some "do it your self" invitatons at Factory Card outlet. . . . Any one know where I can find poems or sayings for the invites?
I also grabbed some silver wire edged ribbon at Factory Card Outlet. . . will drape it down the center of white covered tables. . .using ice blue napkins/paper plates, clear utentils.
We're thinking- clear bowls with dark blue, light blue, silver ornaments and twinkle lights for table settings. And/or mirrors with blue floating candles in fish bowls (depends on if I can find cheap mirros and fish bowls)
Favors-- maybe Hershey kiss roses in blue satin or blue cellophane, if I can find it. Or Hershey minatures with printed labels we make on the computer. . . .
someone suggested bookmarks-- If I had a decent picture of them together, I'd try to do that (we did that for my parents 50th anniversary party though)

Boy, you are really getting there. I guess the time frame is fairly short.

sounds lovely, Denise. Our pastor's grandson had a Dec wedding and I remember they used the twinkling white Christmas lights and also used some spray white stuff for frost effect. Their colors were silver, white and black. It looked elegant to me.

IDEAS FOR WINTER WEDDING CENTERPIECES For added effect, place your centerpieces on a mirror. White or white and light blue flowers in a silver or crystal vase An ice sculpture surrounded by a wreath of white or white and light blue Flowers adorned with silver ribbon, by a chain of flickering lights or Surrounded by snow globes, A candle (in a hurricane glass) surrounded by a wreath of white or white and light blue flowers adorned with silver ribbon or by snow globes, Little standing dolls and white Styrofoam balls as children playing with snow balls, Snow men/women, Glass snow flakes, Silver foil covered Hershey kisses, Pails, crystal or glass bowl filled with clear marbles, downy feathers fiberfill or cotton ball sprayed with glitter, Winter motif confetti WINTER WEDDING FAVOR IDEAS Gifts of crystal, silver, candles, soaps, silver or crystal picture frames That are also place card holders. Decorate the wedding favors with white tulle, white-light blue or silver ribbons, silver bells, snow flakes white flowers etc… CEREMONY Use white, silver, platinum and/or light blue, pew bows, flower arrangements where white and light blue are dominant and are tied with silver ribbon. Place your unity candles in silver candle holders which you may choose to decorate with white flowers, or leave the silver to glisten. Spray glitter on the petals in the flowergirl's basket. WINTER THEME WEDDING CAKE Place a layer of cotton balls or tulle over coiled flickering white bulbs all around the wedding cake so it looks as if your cake is sitting on snow. How about a cake decorated as a winter village or a snow scene? Today, many bakers can actually "print" a picture on the cake using edible food coloring, or you may have your cake look like a star or decorated with snow flakes. BRIDAL ACCESSORIES Choose a collection of matching accessories. Most collection will include most of the accessories for your ceremony and reception. (A unity candle set, guest book, pen, ring pillow, toasting flutes, cake serving set, and garter). You may choose a collection that is adorned with white flowers, such as lilies of the valley, gerbera daisies, roses, calla lilies, carnations, gardenias, magnolias, alstromeria and snowball mums. You may choose a collection that is adorned with white ribbons, pearls, Swarowski crystal or rhinestones, Angels, holiday motifs. If you prefer non-white accessories, silver/platinum are available. WINTER FOODS INCLUDE Hot chocolate, hot cider, mulled wine, fondue, hot soup, warm Bread or rolls, and for desert, snowman/woman, star and/or snow flake shaped sugar cookies.

they postponed the wedding due to her parent's disapproval. . . postponing it didn't help though, as they have still disowned her.  We're looking at a summer or early fall wedding now (depending on when he can get leave time again) She still wants to do the ice blue/silver colors though--- and we appreciate all the ideas, we just have a bit more time to plan now |
