Wedding ideas for snowflake wedding. log cabin setting. feb 22 2007?
For take home gifts, you could stock up on cheap snowflake ornaments at christmas time--they usually come several to a pack for about $2.00 at places like Target/K-Mart. And they also have glitter on them. Or for take home gifts you could have little maple candy in individual bags.





Also, you could get some frosted candle holders/vases and put white christmas lights (with white cords--you can find them in bridal section at craft stores) and put them in there. They look so pretty--saw this in a Martha Stewart magazine.





Or you can get an arch and weave white branches around it and add the lights there as well. Maybe you can find fake snow and sprinkle it around on the floor--I think that would be neat too.





Can't think of anything else right now--but those are the ideas I have. Hope that helps!
Reply:why dont you buy snowflake christmas ornaments, and hang them from the ceiling, or do whatever with them- Also, maybe buy some of that fake looking snow or confetti, and scatter it down the isle- and as for flowers fo with a dark blue, and lite blue, and white- Since winter is about white, and blue!! That would be gorgeous!! Also, as centerpeices for the table- Try and get some small votives, (small candles in glass jars)and scatter some snow flake ornaments around the table!!
Reply:Here are a couple of suggestions for you:


-Lights under the dining tables. I'm not exactly sure what they used, but I saw it in a magazine, and it was really beautiful. The white tablecloths were not all the way to the floor, and I think they may have used those mobile battery lights that attach to the bottom of the table?


-Line the banquet tables with white christmas lights. Tuck the wire under the skirt attachments so the wire is not visible.


-Have one specialty drink like a vanilla martini, and call it whatever you want relating to your theme.


-I would use lots of classic jazz like Louis Armstrong's "What a wonderful world" or "Baby it's cold outside" I would not go too christmasy.


-Elevate your centerpieces. I don't know what they are called, but they almost look like twigs.? Use those elevated and lots of candles surrounding them.


-For favors, you could do a silver blue organza bag filled with miniature bath and body works stuff especially for winter.


-I don't know what you are thinking for food, but I would probably go with a salmon or prime rib. I would also have some kind of soup at the appetizer table. You can put it in a punch bowl surrounded by the cups.


That's all I can think of right now, but I hope it helps!
Reply:You could cut out your own snow flakes, like we all did back in the first grade. Especailly get any younger guests involved. Hang them in windows or from the ceiling. Then hang little white lights, and lots of snowy white tulle, which is very cheap from most craft or fabric shops.





Not sure if its tacky, but a snow globe would make great favour.





For flowers, white roses, white lillies, tuck in some glittery white, or clear beads. Or even some fluffy white feathers.
