Jacket for Winter Wedding Dresses

Posted by Chrys in Winter Weddings on December 1st, 2009

If you’re planning a winter wedding you’ve probably already come across a common problem: how do you keep warm and look great without compromising on the dress of your dreams? Even those dresses that have sleeves are usually lacy or shear so warmth is just not likely.

There are a number of options that you can consider. One of my all time favorites is this adorable faux fur lined jacket from Forever Yours. It’s available from House of Brides for $210 and not only does it look hot but it will provide a lot more warmth then lacy sleeves and it looks good enough that you might not want to take it off when you get inside lol

If this isn’t the look you are going for, there are other options you can look at. Other popular options include shawls which you drape over your arms while you are outside, shrugs (mini jackets) and full capes for a more traditional winter bride look.

DIY Winter Wedding Snowstorm

Posted by Chrys in DIY Weddings, Winter Weddings on December 19th, 2008

Snowflakes are a common theme for winter weddings, but what about a snow storm? This fabulous DIY project from CraftStylish is a Christmas decorating idea but it would be fabulous for a winter wedding. There are so many great ways you could use this idea:

1. Add height and drama to your centerpieces with a snow storm above each table

2. Create a winter wonderland above the aisle in your ceremony venue.

3. Decorate windows in the ceremony or reception areas.

4. Add excitement with a snow storm above your dance floor.

5. create a simple, elegant backdrop behind the head table or the alter.

Oh and the best part? This project uses Dental Floss and labels you can pick up at the local office supply store. SO budget friendly, and yet so chic!!

Silver Star eBay Finds #3

Posted by Chrys in 4th of July Wedding, Black & White, Decorations, Wedding Cakes, Wedding Themes, Winter Weddings, silver stars on February 29th, 2008

And here we are again, with the last of our series on great silver star eBay finds. I actually only have one item to show you today, but I liked it so much I thought it deserved it’s own post:) This wedding cake topper has a very unique, modern look to it, and would be perfect on top of a simple white wedding cake. The cake topper is available from Twinkle Designs for about $20, so it’s very affordable as well.

This cake topper would work well for a July 4th theme, a white & black theme, or a masquarade ball theme.

Silver Star eBay Finds #2

Posted by Chrys in 4th of July Wedding, Black & White, Decorations, Wedding Themes, Winter Weddings, silver stars on February 28th, 2008

As I promised, I am back with a few more Silver Star finds today:) This time, I found some amazing decor touches!

Silver lanterns with star cut outs and etching – add to your decor, or use instead of flowers for your wedding party. Especially gorgeous for a candle-lite evening wedding! These are selling for $20 for the set of four.

I also really liked these silver star accents. They are 3D acrylic silver stars with glitter – and they are fairly large (6″ x 6″) without being heavy, perfect for hanging from the ceiling over your dance floor! They are sold in packs of ten, so it works out to about $2/star.

And that’s it for today:) I will have one more post tomorrow – come back then:)

Silver Star eBay Finds #1

Posted by Chrys in 4th of July Wedding, Black & White, Wedding Themes, Winter Weddings, silver stars on February 27th, 2008

I love the idea of silver stars as a July 4th wedding theme and while looking for ideas for that theme, I spent some time on eBay looking for inspiration. I thought I would share a few of the neat things I found for those of you planning a black and white, July 4th, Christmas, Silver or Star themed wedding:)

Navy Organza Bags with Silver Stars – these ones were listed a few times by different sellers, and you can pick them up for about 50 cents per bag. Add some white candies for a great wedding favor. Silver Star Ring Bearer’s Pillow – this one is adorable, and it was listed for $13.
