It would seem that everyone considers white to be the traditional color for weddings. But are you ready for a snow-white wedding? Recently, European traditions have come and actively established themselves in wedding fashion in our country. It is impossible to surprise with a themed wedding: red, blue and even rainbow celebrations are not uncommon. But white? Decorating a wedding hall in white is now original.
White color is perfect for a winter celebration, although at other times of the year it will be appropriate either on its own or diluted with other shades.
A classic in a new guise
Decorating a wedding hall in white is considered a classic option for a celebration, but it became such only in 1840, when Queen Victoria of England got married in a white dress.
The wedding will be dazzling, filled with purity and tenderness, if you decorate the hall in white. White has several different shades, due to this the room will not look like a sterile hospital ward.
You can combine several shades of warm white or, conversely, choose cool tones - from snow-white to slightly bluish. You can use strict black and white decoration of the hall for a wedding. Bright shades are more suitable for the summer-autumn season, while cool shades are associated with winter, snow or the first thawed patches of spring.
The bride at such a celebration should wear a snow-white dress. Neither ivory, nor pearl or any other shade will work - they will look dirty against the backdrop of dazzling whiteness.
Achromatism can be complemented with silver and soft blue tones. They will be unobtrusive, but will dilute the cold of winter. Warm shades can be emphasized with the pearl shine of the decor.
White is a universal color, it goes perfectly with any color, so it can be combined with both rich blue, red, burgundy, turquoise, and delicate shades - blue, pink, mint, lilac and others:
- very bright, summer combinations - white with yellow, crimson or fuchsia;
- white and black - harmony, imbued with English aristocracy;
- For a spring wedding, a combination of white and green is suitable.
The wedding procession will look luxurious if the first car that takes the newlyweds to the doors of the Wedding Palace is a snow-white limousine or a white retro car.
Interesting! See how to decorate other important elements in white. For example, a delicious cake and a bridal bouquet.
From A to Z
And, of course, having decided on the basic design and outfits, it’s worth discussing the remaining wedding attributes.
Invitations
“Where does a wedding begin?” - you ask. And I will answer you: “Yes, of course, from the choice of invitations!” And here the flight of imagination is simply unlimited. You can choose white paper, you can decorate the invitations with delicate white lace and ribbons. A good option would be invitations decorated with beads or bows.
It is not so important whether the invitations are made by hand or bought in a store, the main thing is that with all their appearance they shout about the chosen style for your celebration.
Traditional wedding champagne and meaningful candles
Another important and essential accessory is wedding champagne and candles.
It is more important than ever to perform these very symbolic attributes strictly in the chosen color. They will not only symbolize the beginning of your family life, but will also remain a memorable souvenir for many years to come. A simple master class on the white design of wedding glasses:
You can use anything to decorate them: lace, ribbons, flowers made of polymer clay, decoupage technique and much more. The main thing is that our accessories look as rich and chic as possible.
Flowers
A composition of snow-white flowers on guests’ tables will serve as an excellent decorative attribute. It doesn’t matter whether the flowers are fresh or artificial, the main thing is that they support the atmosphere of the entire celebration.
Nice little things for decoration
Well, what would a wedding be without wedding details. Place cards, bonbonnieres, individual menus for guests or cards with table numbering: all this should also be done in snow-white color.
Snow white cake
It seems like we discussed all the little things, but no.
There is one more very significant attribute, without which no wedding can do. As you probably already guessed, this is a delicious and beautiful wedding cake. Fortunately, nowadays there are a lot of confectioners and simply craftsmen who can make almost any cake. But in order for it to fit into the general spirit of your holiday, it is worth saying that such a beautiful attribute should be made in white colors. No matter how much you would like to dilute the color or add a small note of brightness, you should not do this (especially on the decorated side of the cake).
To experiment and add color, choose the inside of the cake, that is, its filling. Here, of course, you can choose a classic sponge cake with white cream, but you can also choose any other filling from chocolate to fruit. The main thing is that the appearance of the cake once again emphasizes the style of your holiday.
Room
The white hall for the celebration looks royal. Choose a spacious room for your happiest day, let there be a lot of light - both from the walls and from the windows. Color and light require a careful approach and accuracy in everything related to the design of the hall.
Snow-white starched tablecloths, complemented by “skirts”, white covers on chairs with delicate bows made of organza or satin - this is how banquet tables for a celebration should be. The dishes on the wedding table look better white, and the cutlery is classic, in a metallic shade.
Tablecloths and napkins must be perfectly starched and ironed, otherwise they will not create the desired effect.
Complete the decoration of the wedding hall in white with small floating candles - they will add romance if you place them in transparent saucers or vases. Rose petals can be placed around. Thin twisted or straight candles in tall wine glasses look impressive.
Groom style
The groom's image should look harmonious next to the bride. To do this, he puts on a black or white suit made of shiny fabric.
The shirt is also white, but other accessories (cufflinks, bow tie/tie, pocket square, tie clip, boutonniere, watch) reflect the color theme of the wedding. A golden vest with embroidery looks original.
If there is a themed wedding of a certain era, then the aristocratic costume can be complemented with a hat and cane.
Screen
Special attention is paid to the design of the newlyweds’ area. A traditional element of the presidium is the design of the back screen at the table of the newlyweds.
Decorating the backdrop with fabric will help create lightness and airiness. You can drape it with translucent fabrics - chiffon, light silk, organza, tulle. You can complement the draperies with floral arrangements using artificial flowers.
Hanging arrangements of white flowers with the addition of greenery will be an excellent addition to both a traditional fabric screen and a modern openwork one made of wood. It looks light and airy and will become a beautiful background against which the young couple will look even more dazzling.
Subjects
The first win-win theme for a blue and white combination is a nautical wedding. Indeed, blue waves, white foam and golden sand will perfectly suit the chosen design.
This can be either a summer celebration on the beach or a more luxurious option on a yacht or boat. Naturally, in the latter case, it is worth warning guests in advance so that those suffering from seasickness can take the necessary medications with them.
A wedding on the water is a very fresh solution, both elegant and free. Be sure to use marine elements such as shells, pearls, and starfish for decoration.
Another interesting solution is a Greek wedding. For a celebration, choose a lighter shade of blue, close to the color of the deep Mediterranean Sea, or leave dark blue as an auxiliary one for the main snow-white background.
A winter wedding in blue and white colors will also be luxurious - patterns of snowflakes, fur, artificial snow, an “icy” crystal arch. If desired, such a celebration can be arranged even in the hot summer, but, of course, additional efforts will be needed in decorating and arranging the room, in particular, very good air conditioners and draperies on the windows so that the bright July sun does not break the created fairy tale.
Walls
In the white hall you can use any decorations:
- white balloons;
- fabric draperies;
- paper garlands and flags;
- flowers and lush paper pompoms.
You can complement the decoration of some areas - the candy bar (tea table), photo zone - with pearl threads, silver beads (depending on the selected shade of white). The former will add sophistication, the latter will make the wedding feast royally luxurious.
The white and gold decoration of the wedding hall with the interior framed with lace looks impressive - openwork white umbrellas can be prepared for a photo shoot, and openwork napkins can be used when decorating a sweet table, on which the best delicacies will be melting marshmallows, meringues, and cupcakes with snow-white cream.
Invitations
Gold embossing on the snow-white invitation card gives it a truly royal charm.
The execution of individual elements in yellow tones without the shine of metal will reduce formality and add cheerfulness and optimism to the address.
Images, photos or simply silhouettes of the newlyweds on a postcard in a gold frame look like the first family portrait.
Envelopes folded in the form of full-weight ingots or rolled into a roll with an elegant sling look interesting.
Decor options
White color is associated with winter, snowdrifts, and icy patterns on windows. You can turn the banquet hall into the kingdom of the Snow Queen, and the wedding celebration into a fairy tale, where the newlyweds and all the guests are participants in the festive action.
Artificial trees strewn with “snow” (often they are illuminated, and this will create an additional decoration) can be placed throughout the hall.
In the hall you can create “drifts” of artificial snow, hang snowflakes and “ice pieces” on the walls and ceiling, and decorate the hall with glowing garlands.
For a photo shoot, instead of a press wall, it is better to put a sleigh, prepare honey capes and muffs. The effect of such a room design will be amazing, and photographs against the backdrop of snow-covered trees and snowdrifts will be unusual.
If you write a wedding script in advance, you can stage a real mini-play, where at the end of the evening the guests will “break the spell” of the cold Snow Queen and turn her into the beautiful Snow Maiden - the bride.
The sweet table can also be made unusual by placing delicacies on openwork napkins and snow-white dishes - cupcakes and cake decorated with delicate icing, mini meringues and baskets filled with cream. And, of course, ice cream and milkshakes.
Wedding accessories for a white wedding
The very first and most important accessory of any wedding is invitations. They are the ones who will hint to your guests what the wedding will be like. For warm season weddings, glossy cards decorated with fresh, fabric, or paper flowers are suitable. Ripe ears of corn, juicy rowan berries or their imitation will add color to a white wedding invitation in the fall. “Winter” invitations will perfectly complement snowflakes, or even Christmas and holiday designs and ornaments.
An integral wedding highlight is bonbonnieres. And a white wedding is no exception. The traditional option would be glass jars decorated with white satin ribbons, red and white lollipop sticks and filled with airy marshmallows, marshmallows and dragees of appropriate light colors. The website Svadbaholik.ru offers an alternative option, especially suitable for a winter wedding - mittens made of snow-white wool. They can be filled with goodies, or they can be presented as an independent gift.
Gold in the snow
Such combinations - gold and white, silver and white - look especially luxurious, and the color of precious metals gives them this chic.
There is no need to add a lot of gold details to the decor - just add light accents.
They can be a gilded pattern on plates, gold beads scattered on the table, golden branches added to flower arrangements.
When choosing this combination in the dresses of the newlyweds, bridesmaids and groomsmen, you need to create a small golden accent. These can be ties for men, hairpins or belts on a dress for girls.
The chairs can be decorated with golden organza bows, and white and gold candles can be placed on the newlyweds’ table. The cake and mini-cupcakes for such a wedding can also be decorated with a golden openwork icing pattern applied to a white background.
Interesting! Another good decor option is in a winter style. The celebration will be very cozy.
Images of the bride and groom
The golden color of a wedding suggests that this shade will be present in the images of the bride and groom.
Costumes in gold color or at least with its elements look amazing.
In the fall, a wedding in pink and gold looks beautiful, and for spring, an emerald and gold wedding looks best.
There are many interesting ideas on how you can use gold color in the outfits and accessories of the bride and groom.
Let's talk about the groom first:
- The golden suit looks beautiful. However, there is a fine line between luxury and absurdity in this matter. To avoid looking like a clown, it is advisable not to use fabric with a very strong shine.
- If a young man is a fairly reserved member of the stronger sex, then it is better to use only gold-colored details: a belt buckle, a beautiful watch, a bow tie or tie, cufflinks, any details on wedding shoes. You can also purchase a golden silk scarf.
A bride in golden color can look like a real goddess who came down from Mount Olympus. The main thing is not to overdo it and follow some recommendations:
Season
Summer wedding celebrations are often held outdoors. A snow-white arch decorated with white and green compositions is the ideal backdrop for off-site registration. Drape the tables for the guests present at the ceremony with white covers and decorate them with flowers, bows, and ribbons.
Decorate the place where the banquet will be held with fabric - tulle, organza or other lightweight materials that can be laid in beautiful folds. Create something like a tent over the table of the newlyweds. If the celebration takes place on a terrace or veranda, you can hang garlands of hearts, paper fans, flowers, and pompoms. In the evening, decorate your terrace or area with LED garlands.
There should be as many flowers as possible at the wedding. Asters and chrysanthemums, phlox, peonies and field daisies will decorate tables no worse than expensive roses and orchids, but they will emphasize unity with nature and create an atmosphere of rustic simplicity.
You can come up with many ideas on how to decorate a wedding in white. Don't limit yourself to one shade of white - dilute it with pearls, flowers, feathers, lace, and you will be able to create a special atmosphere of sophistication and tenderness, airy lightness that no other color can convey.
