White color is an unconditional style, freshness and elegance. White wedding decorations are very popular. Not a single wedding celebration is complete without adding white, it is everywhere - the dress, the groom's shirt, small interior details, but what about using this color as the main one? Interesting, isn't it? White is a classic color, but this does not mean that your celebration will be boring and dull.
Celebration color scheme
White wedding – after hearing these words, many of you probably imagined an absolutely white hall. However, this is not at all true. Decorating a white wedding undoubtedly requires a white base color, but it can be complemented with any shades. This move will help highlight the color, making it less intrusive. There shouldn’t be a lot of additional shades; they just need to gracefully and discreetly complement the overall picture (for example, a white bridal bouquet, or flowers for decorating a hall can be diluted with a soft yellow tint).

Additional Tips
Future newlyweds can order the design and holding of the wedding from a professional agency or do everything themselves. In addition to decor and outfits, the following details are thought out:
- It would be ideal if you can find light green cars for the motorcade.
- The book of wishes, invitations for guests and place cards are designed in the same style using a light green shade.
- If the weather promises to be hot, it is worth preparing a bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in a light green color, for example, mint lemonade or mojito.
- Any dishes are suitable for a banquet; all of them can be decorated with fresh herbs to match the decoration.
- Desserts include light green cream cupcakes, apple jelly, pistachio ice cream, or candied lime wedges.
- The cake can be decorated with light green fondant and floral patterns.
Bride's image
The decoration of a white wedding simply amazes and delights with its beauty, but the ceremony will not be complete without an elegant and sophisticated image of the bride. The white look is considered classic, so the bride should not have any problems choosing an outfit. Based on the theme of the evening, you can choose a dress of any style. Beware of ivory or milky white shades against a snow-white background of the room, such a tone will look dirty. A bouquet will help complement the image. Luckily, florists can find the perfect white bouquet for you without any hassle.
Groom's outfit
Here are some suitable looks according to your style:
- Casual . White sports trousers, belt of the same color, pale blue shirt + dark blue jacket. The final chord is a bow tie to match the jacket.
- Classic . Three-piece suit – vest + trousers with arrows + long jacket. Color – indigo. This trio will need a shirt and a standard tie to contrast with it. Another option is a blue suit, white shirt and tie to match the jacket.
- Retro . Dark blue trousers with suspenders, a snow-white shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, a classic cap and lace-up boots.

Hall decoration
Decorating a white wedding is quite a labor-intensive process, but, nevertheless, it is very popular among brides around the world. And no wonder. The beauty and grace that this shade brings cannot be compared with anything else.
Use flowers to decorate your celebration. What would a wedding be without them? Place them on tables in transparent vases, or make an unusual canopy entirely consisting of snow-white fragrant buds. Let the hall simply be buried in flowers, and their aroma accompanies you everywhere! For a more original decor, you can use a combination of feathers and flowers.
Whitened tree branches are also perfect for decoration. You can place them in large vases on the floor or decorate tables with them. In any case, your guests will be delighted. As for table setting, there are no problems here. Classic white plates and starched napkins will fit perfectly into the overall interior.
Guest chairs can be decorated with white satin bows or floral arrangements. You can also place white candles on the tables, they will help you create a romantic atmosphere.
Unusual ideas for a photo shoot
The photo zone for shooting can be decorated in a shabby chic style, which will create a romantic mood with elements of artistry.
Against the background of natural vegetation, arches or trees with white ribbons developing in the wind look impressive. Crystals, glass or ice sculptures are perceived as mysterious and magical. They take you to a winter fairy tale, a crystal cave, and the Snow Queen's castle.
You can fit any guest into the wedding theme before the photo shoot - not only with the help of various items (hat, beads, fans, capes), but also simply by sprinkling him with white confetti. It’s great if there is a body of water nearby where white swans swim. You can also arrange for guests to release pigeons into the sky.
The story of a prince on a white horse who finds his princess is extremely popular.
White wedding decoration and invitations
Invitations for a white wedding, as you might have guessed, carry the traditional sophistication and classics of white. A fairly simple background can be decorated with various decorative elements - ribbons, openwork patterns, lace or calligraphy. The combination of this color with a brighter and more saturated one (for example, gold, silver, lilac, red) will give the invitation card more charm, sophistication and make the main color less intrusive. Depending on the theme of the evening, the text and design of the invitation can vary from strict to mischievous and cheerful. Pay attention to the trend of recent months - calligraphy on light-colored paper.

Relevance does not get old over the years
Classic wedding color, classic outfits, but years pass, and white is still relevant. Even if it’s the 90s, even 2022 and 2050s, this color will not go out of fashion. And how wonderful all this snow-white sophistication looks in the photograph. I've seen a lot of weddings like this and I can tell you from experience that it looks great in both summer and winter. Any photo session ends with beautiful, lively and very beautiful pictures. But let me give you some advice, dear readers.
- Never dress your bridesmaids in white dresses, otherwise you simply risk getting lost against their background (what if the registry office doesn’t figure out where the bride is, that’s an incident).
- Also, don't choose a white dress for the mother of the bride. Mom is the special person at this celebration, so she deserves to stand out. Moreover, based on the classics, the bride should be that bright center of attention.
- To make the wedding look original and not boring, add volume and splendor to it. Use a variety of materials and textures, add splendor to the details (use balloons on the ceilings, voluminous picture frames, paper paraphernalia, drape the walls with fabric).
- When choosing a room, focus on the windows. The more light there is in the room, the more interesting the color of your wedding will be (and don’t forget that the hall should be as bright as possible).
- If the wedding is in winter, then to prevent it from becoming “cold,” add warmth and comfort. Place lighted candles, use lace on tablecloths, hang cozy photos of the newlyweds.
