Planning a winter wedding is nothing short of a blissful experience. One of the best things about winter weddings is that, regardless of when you tie the knot, if your wedding falls in winter, you can use the beautiful Christmas decorations without so much as batting an eye. However, that’s not all, another thing that we love about winter and Christmas-themed weddings is that such weddings are usually beautiful to look at and are a joy to plan. If you have the pleasure of throwing a lovely winter wedding, we think you’d love today’s blog! Today, instead of talking about wedding dresses, well we’ll briefly graze over the topic TBH, we will mostly talk about some beautiful Christmas-themed accessory ideas for your wedding day look. Let's show some love for the festive season with some charming bridal accessories!
The Idea We Can’t Help But Love!
Since the theme of today’s blog post is “bright” and “Christmasy” accessory ideas, let’s get something clear before we get into different ideas. The thing is, nothing embodies our theme for the day better than beautiful red accessories. And when we say red accessories, what we mean is cherry red. Or maybe use colors that are similar to hollies! The reason why we feel these colors are a perfect match for wedding jewelry is that these colors have always been associated with Christmas and the festive season more than anything else. Of course, green is as much part of the colors associated with the festive season as red is, but red is more prominent. Now that we have this out of the way, let’s talk about different accessories that you can use during this time for your wedding outfits!
Ways to Accessorize Your Wedding Look With Charming Winter Ideas: Red, Glitter, and Gold
If you’re wondering how to incorporate the colors of the festive season into wedding outfits, then we have just the ideas for you. The best part about these bright ideas is that you can use them for any wedding theme, all you’ll need is to swap out a color, replace it with a complementing color and you’re good to go.
1. Floral and Greenery Accessories for your Wedding
One of the best ideas for this Christmas-inspired wedding is to use a crown made out of flowers and greenery. You can design or purchase a crown inspired by the colors and details of a Christmas wreath. You can use some colors or even the details of the same for your wedding day hair accessory. Wondering how to get this right? Well, we have just an idea for you! The first one we have is to look for a jewelry piece that resembles a wreath. The style of your hair accessory can be a Greek headpiece, it will look just perfect! The other idea is to have a florist design a floral and greenery-laden wedding crown for you to wear to your wedding! You can also design the floral and greenery crown for your wedding with a variety of things, like beautiful hollies, mistletoes, and more as well. When you put in an order for a custom floral crown, you can choose which kind of crown you’d like, and add some extra details as per your preference.
For example, you can choose to have some twigs in your floral crown if you’re going for a boho bridal look or have a delicate floral crown with lots of red and green flowers on a white netted cushion. Floral crowns look wonderful with all kinds of hairstyles. You can use these with short or long hair.
2. The Perfect Red Bouquet!
As we mentioned earlier, red is the cornerstone of any Christmas-themed wedding, and why should your bouquet not be a part of that? One of the best ways to add a bright touch of the festive season to your wedding is to find a bouquet that fits the vibe! A great way to do that is to choose a bridal bouquet designed completely with some wonderfully deep red flowers! One of the best bouquets for the season, in our opinion, is a complete berry bouquet! The choice for berries is simple - deep, shiny red berry branches! All you’ll need is to wrap it up in beautiful paper or simply tie it with strings or a ribbon and your aesthetic is complete.
However, that’s not all when it comes to wedding day bouquets and beautiful flowers, you can also choose a few other options if a complete berry wedding bouquet is not your fit! Additionally, you can add some gold and silver fillers, to make your wedding bouquet dazzling. What we love the most about an all-red wedding bouquet is that your bridal bouquet’s focal flowers and secondary flowers will be red! Next, the fillers will be in different colors! What’s more, you can look for inspiration, to know which flowers, ferns, and fillers you’d love to see in your wedding bouquet.
3. Wedding Bouquet with Red Flowers, Snowflakes, and Glitter
Snowflakes and glitter can be an unpredictable yet lovely combination for your Christmas-time wedding! What we love the most about this combination is that it is subtle and it is pretty. To make it perfect, you can also add a little bit of red to the mix! You can use this combination with practically any other idea! For example, you could have blood red earrings for the day, yet your wedding day bouquet could be made of white flowers, the wrappings can have glitter on them or can have snowflakes printed on them! It would still look just perfect. Another idea that we have is a beautiful look!
Instead of going ahead with an all-white wedding bouquet, you can pair your ivory bouquet with some lovely white, green, and red flowers. Then you can have some lovely, cascading greenery which will help you accentuate the colors you’ve picked out. And to make everything look just right for the season, you can use some charms in the shapes of snowflakes and add them to your wedding bouquet. To top it off, all you’d need is some glitter on top! To make snowflakes a part of your wedding, another idea that we’d like to throw in the mix is to have snowflakes designed into your wedding invitations.
4. Red Lace Gloves and Sleeves!
Another way to incorporate the wonderful Christmas vibe into your wedding is to consider using bridal gloves! The best part about bridal gloves is that they are perfectly beautiful, and lovely. You can choose a simple pair or go for pairs with intricate designs, the choice is yours. While deciding which kind of lace gloves to wear, make sure that you consider the wedding dress type you’re choosing to wear. Now, if you have an all-white wedding dress, you can accessorize it with red bridal shoes, red hair pieces, and red gloves! However, these accessories even work for a beautiful white wedding dress with some red details! If you’re looking for a princess-like wedding day look, then you can choose an intricately designed wedding dress. You can choose a dress with embroidery, or even look for a wedding dress with appliqués in red. Red details in your wedding dress will be perfect for your Christmas-time wedding! And your wedding dress with red details will be absolutely perfect with the red gloves! However, if you don’t want headpieces, and want a retro look in the same colors, you can try a birdcage hat for your wedding outfit!
5. Christmassy Hair Pieces: Hollies and Mistletoe!
Although we discussed, only briefly, hollies and holly-inspired hair accessories, this section will talk a little more about them! The thing is, hollies and mistletoe are not only perfect for you, as the bride, but also an amazing addition to your bridesmaids’ hairstyles. To add the charms of the season, the best way to do it is to add mistletoe and hollies. There are a few ideas that you can try, other than the floral and greenery-laden crown as we mentioned earlier. So, the first bridal hairstyle that we want to mention is tying in the hollies into the hair! As the bride, you can have a bun and a wreath-like woven garland (small ones, of course) with hollies and mistletoe. Apart from this, you can also have similar hairstyles for your bridesmaids. For example, you can ask them to add side braids to their hairstyles with hollies and leaves. Another idea for a bridesmaid’s wedding hairstyle is to use a small arrangement of hollies and mistletoes as small clips! Apart from this, you can also create a dazzling tiara with hollies and mistletoe! If mistletoe is difficult to manage for your hairstyles, you can simply use needle leaves, this will help you improve the wedding hairstyle!
6. Wedding Outfit Accessories: Coats, and Jackets!
Last but not the least, you can layer your wedding dress with coats and jackets. Now, the perfect way to add this to your wedding day look is to choose a beautiful faux fur coat with red details or pair your wedding dress with a long red bridal cape. Another way to layer your wedding dress is with a pretty long coat, without the fur for your wedding look. Apart from this, another idea that will work like a charm for your wedding dress is to pair it with interesting types of jackets! You can look for pretty denim jackets or even fringe jackets. What’s more, you can even pair a leather jacket with some beautiful red lettering or red details! This will add a wonderful Christmas charm to your outfit. The thing about wedding dresses and accessories is that anything apart from your wedding dress can be an accessory, you just have to figure out how to pair different things with your wedding ensemble! What’s more, you can have your partner wear a similar jacket for the wedding. You can have similar lettering for both of your outfits. This will not only make you and your partner’s outfit look coordinated but will also set you up for some amazing wedding photos!
Bonus: Although bridal capes, coats, and jackets are perfect additions to your wedding outfits, there’s something better that you can do! And when we say something better, we mean wedding veils! What we love the most about veils is that they will help you add a regal touch to your wedding outfit, and above all that, they can be in the Christmas colors, and with interesting touches as well. You can buy a red veil, lace, or netted red. Another way to improve your wedding look with a red veil is to personalize the veil. You can have a designer or you can actually do it yourself, if you’re good with designs, to add some touches to the veil. You can also add some green details, leaves, dried leaves, or faux leaves, to add the charms you want! You can also just have streaks of red and green all over the veils. Lastly, if these ideas do not work for you, you can easily choose a dress with a long train. Instead of adding bold and bright Christmas charms to your wedding dress, add details to your wedding dress’ train.
With that, we come to the end of our list. Bridal accessories seem like a difficult task, but that is only true when you’re not sure of where you want to go. The ideas above will help you figure out which style is your fit, and help you choose the perfect jewelry pieces for your wedding day accessories. That being said, you can use some of the ideas just as it is, or you can add some twists to our ideas to make them completely yours!
