I would get one of those wedding arches to place at the altar. You can then decorate it with some twinkle lights and maybe a few snowflakes and flowers...try to keep it simple. You don't want to much stuff on there. You could even get some fake snow and sprinkle it on the aisle runner. I think that would look very nice.

Here are a few pictures that you can use. Maybe they will give you some good ideas. I hope it helps!

Reply:Love those winter weddings. You could make or have made an arch out of twigs and place white tulle and white miniature lights inside. You could purchase two tall pencil trees and place them on each side where you are to stand, or joint them at the top to create an arch and decorate them with white lights and white tulle. You could also use two tall large logs and pedastals for each side and either paint them or decorate them. You could also purchase two pre-fab columns, but it would probably look better to keep the theme of the cabin look.
Reply:Your wedding sounds beautiful. I love winter weddings. They have those candles that run on a battery and they flicker. I bought one last year. It's sparkly snowy on the outside and next year, Im going back to the shoppe and get more. It would look great in a clear cylinder holder. You can find them at nice crafty type stores - where you buy candles, candlerings, unusual things. I love the snowflakes hanging idea. Tables could be the white candles and holly or greenery around. Maybe three different sized candles on each table.
Reply:Rustic Cabin – with low ceilings. Ditch the snowflake idea – unless you want people banging their heads on them all evening long.



However, the clear mini-lights will look splendid.



My nephew got married in January and they decorated the hall with cedar trees and clear mini lights. The hall smelled wonderful. They used 5 gal buckets to hold the trees and camouflaged the buckets with white batting to look like snowdrifts.



The centerpieces were pine branches with pinecones on them gracefully laid on the tables – no vases or other things to detract from conversation and photos. Nestle loose flowers among the pine branches - just a few per table.
Reply:white flowers everywhere ( this will give the impression of snow)

drape your tables with white boas and white sheer curtain fabrics. Use white flower clusters to hold draping into place.

White balloons, the small ones to give impression as snow on the floors and those clear iridescent confetti all over your tables( they will glisten on the tables under the lights)

White candles, and some pale pink ones

Silver charger plates and silverware, clear glass goblets
Reply:Hmm..I think it would be cool to get married in front of one of the fireplaces if you can. Put some candles in it so it's not a roaring fire but has a nice romantic glow. Maybe hang some icicle lights from the mantle....It's hard to suggest anything as far as the tables without knowing the size or layout of the place. Good luck!
Reply:For the area where you are going to say your vows I would say have an archway with white lites and maybe put some fake snow around.

For the reception and the tables I would get the fluffy cotton snow with glitter in it and get some little snowmen and put on the snow. or you could even get some pretty snow globes for centerpieces. Good luck
Reply:I love Janelle's ideas. Last Christmastime, I bought a couple of those frosty candles too that flicker like a real candle. THey'd look great with a clear glass cylinder type holder around them and holly. Are they round tables? Put 6 or 8 people around them. Sounds cozy and very pretty.
Reply:google winter themed wedding. I have seen tons of stuff and ideas online. You can decorate with white shiny or silver and blue x-mas tree garland or bulbs..
Reply:i love winter weddings! use the fireplace as your focal point and get married by the fireplace. you could use greenery on the mantel, interspersed with candles [real or flameless]. if the fireplaces are in working order you could have a nice fire going, if not fill the fireplace with candles!

i always prefer round tables at receptions, it makes it much easier for guests to converse with each other and gives the room a far more cosy and romantic feeling than those long rectangular tables.

use white linens and white dinnerware. you could use charger plates in silver and/or blue if you want to add a splash of color. for your centerpieces get out into the woods and start collecting fallen branches. you will store these somewhere dry until the autumn. you need to find the cheapest plastic vases you can, start hunting around yard sales for them. you'll need one per table and a couple for each side of the hearth on the fireplace.

you are going to position the branches in the vases, [using masking tape to make a grid to hold the branch in place], and fill the vases with plaster of paris, let it dry overnight, remove tape and then you spray paint the entire ensemble in white! if you want to you can sprinkle some glitter on the tree branches to add hi-lights. now you can decorate your centerpieces with plastic icicles, snowflakes, a couple of stars and fairy lights. you could also add a few small small balls in silver and blue. the whole effect is very pretty and very cheap to do! you could even buy some small birds from your local craft store, if they don't have white ones, you can buy whatever colors they have and spray paint them white to resemble doves and then anchor one or two to each tree.

at each table have a photo or two of you and your fiance at various stages in your life. we've been to a few affairs where this was done and it sure is a great way to get people mingling. every table had a different photo and people would wander about looking at them and chatting with each other!

whatever you choose to do, enjoy the day, happy wedding sweetie!
