Are you a winter bride? But also a budget bride? Great, today I'm writing about a cool trend: The All White Wedding! Sleek and chic, the all white wedding theme is great for any time of the year but especially winter. The all white wedding brings the nostalgia and beauty of the winter to your guest. The snow, the glitz of the holiday season, the silvery tones of Christmas can all go into your wedding! All white weddings are also affordable cus white is the basic norm. Hello, renting plain white linens? Got a venue with all white boring walls? Great you are on your way to success! Here are my tips:

I think its good to host a winter wedding before or after (especially after) Christmas because its not fun to compete with such a big holiday. Also there are alot sales after X-mas.

Flowers: A great all white rose is an awesome way to get on track. 200 white roses are simply glamorous! At fifty flowers, I have found a steal 200 White Ecuadorian Roses for only $199.99! Just enough to DIY centerpieces! Check out : http://www.fiftyflowers.com/product/White-Ecuadorian-Roses_318.htm

Another DIY Tip : Use Baby Breath filler as a main flower in your centerpieces. Its light like snow, pretty and cheap! Score!

Decor:

Ceremony: Keep it white hot. White aisle runner or white rose petals. An affordable option for decor is to line the aisle with silver vases filled with baby's breath, feathers and silvery twigs! Use all white folding chairs, and give white and silver programs!

Reception:

Think winter wonderland! Frost pine cones with silver glitter, Twigs with shimmering ice and snowflakes!

I love DIY snowflakes and they don't have to be your second grade snowflakes project. You can add sophistication by changing the paper used. Instead of regular printer paper try Bond Paper for snowflakes. Its much sturdier and can withstand folding.Get your scissors, some glue and glitter and go nuts! Dangle snowflakes from the ceiling!

I found these cool and affordable place cards from The Wedding Coach.com. The Snowflake Design Place Card Holders (WC5358) are beautiful and they are only $0.99! www.theweddingcoach.com/5358ind.htm

DIY TIP: Add feathers, ornaments, small white votive candles, and tons of silvery bling!

Here are some more finds that would be a great addition to a winter white wedding:

Sparkle Willow White Branches 24" (20 for $11.49) at Save On Crafts.com! Just put these into a vase and tada you have a great flower less centerpiece that looks expensive but isnt!

This is so pretty I gasp when I saw it! Also at Save On Crafts.com, the Elegant White Peacock with Feather tail is super cute. Only $4.49 ea when you order 6, this is a super cute detail that your guest will notice.

Got a boring long rectangle white reception hall table? Spice it up with diamonds! Add icy diamond glass gems to your tables and bedazzle em! The Glass Diamond Gems 20mm Luster Clear 12oz is super cool and only $2.29 for 24 pkgs. Also at Save On Crafts!

DIY TIP: Rent all white coffee tables and comfy chairs or benches to make plush setting.

Be creative and remember it doesn't have to be the perfect white- it could be off white, ivory, eggshell, whatever.

Cakes- White cakes are the budget norm! Check out your local wholesale club/ grocery store. Budget TIP: Keep it affordable by keeping it simple and then adding safe & edible treats onto your cake

Also a snowflake cake topper would be super cool!!

Dress- Keep the cool vibe going by asking everyone to wear white. your groom and his men wear white too and then you can also wear a white gown or totally be different and wear another color like red or pastel baby blue!

Also try a faux fur white stole or jacket! I found this one at YesStyle.com from 59 Seconds for only $62.50! Its the Tie Front Faux Front Cropped Jacket! http://www.yesstyle.com/Product.aspx?lang=en&pid=1013002133/

Accesoires: Emitation.com is known for the best in affordable jewelry. Here are some super cute looks I am loving right now!

The Sakouny's Classic Rhinestone Tiara is a cute way to be an ice princess. Its less than $100, its $65.00!

Also add something blue with this cute set for only $75! The Joey's Sapphire Blue CZ Necklace and Earrings Set is a sure way to glitz up any dress!

Food: Let your food be your splash of color with everything so posh and white, it will make food look better.DIY TIP: Give out white chocolate favors, white Jordan Almonds, white pretzels etc.

Travel: If you can find a white car....awesome!!!

So thats it for now till later...thanx and loveya!
