Spring and summer are wonderful seasons in which to plan a wedding, but the sights and colors of winter, while of a different mood entirely, can be just as special. A winter wedding, held in the mid of the holiday season, can make this special time of year even more so. With families often coming together to celebrate the holidays, this can be a particularly good time for a wedding, as you may be able to invite people who might not have the opportunity to attend a spring or summer wedding.

Whether you chose the winter because it is a matter of convenience, or because you love the season, it is certain that many elements of your wedding, including decorations, flowers, and of course the invitations, should be quite different from what they might be if you held your wedding in the warmer months.

Invitations for a winter wedding very often include different colors, styles, and decorative elements to suit the theme of the season. Let your imagination run wild with deep, warm colors, cool icy blues and greens, or even a tinge of yellow or orange to lend some warm to the season!

There are some stunning winter-themed invitations available, perfect for a wedding planned for the colder months. Whether you want to represent the season with a well-chosen image or watermark, or by choosing colors that evoke the mood of winter, you have a wide range of wedding invitation options.

Let it Snow!

Winter-themed images or watermarks are an excellent option for enhancing the winter theme for your wedding invitations. Sparkling snowflakes are the ideal way to add a romantic element to your invitations, especially when printed in silver ink on shimmering white, pink, or blue card stock. The classic elegance of delicate snowflakes creates the perfect timeless look. They are a wonderful choice for a wedding invitation that would look equally as good at home for a traditional or a contemporary style wedding.

For a more winter wedding theme, there are plenty of other image options. Evoke the mood of a shimmering Christmas with glamorous silver invitations that depict snowy fir trees and fluffy snow banks, or play up the romantic element again with a snowy winter scene and delicate hearts and snowflakes to let everyone know the hearts of the happy couple are warm during the mid of winter!

If you prefer a more minority design, try considering a watermark, rather than an actual image. The subtlety of a watermark is particularly elegant, with its understated adoration, and adds a certain 'something' to any invitation style. A watermark, or a raised rather than a printed image, is a highly attractive decorative element that makes just as strong a statement as a printed image, but in a way that makes these options perfect for more traditional wedding invitations.

Choosing Winter Colors

When it comes to choosing a color scheme, in most cases, your winter wedding invitations play off the colors of your wedding itself, but you may decide to choose different colors for your invitations or you may already have some winter-themed colors and would like to complement those.

There are some excellent winter choices for invitation colors. Some color choices include dark purples, serene blues, and velvety greens, to brighter versions of these shades to bring alive the colors of winter. Silver, gold and pearl, pale pinks and blues, or the warm browns that evoke hot-spiced apple cider are all wonderful colors with which to adorn a winter wedding invitation.

There are just as many options for ink colors, but remember that whiche colors you choose, your winter-themed wedding invitations should have ink and background colors which contrast strictly, so that the text can be ready without any trouble.

If you prefer a more understated look when it comes to color choices, an excellent option is to keep the invitations and the envelope exterior inplete colors such as white, silver, or off-white. You can then add a touch of bright, bold color in the envelope's interior.

Deep plum, lapis, or spicy cinnamon colors would be the perfect complement to a more traditional-looking off-white invitation with elegant silver ink. In fact, the silver ink and white or off-white invitation looks stunning with almost any envelope color you can think of, from blues and purples to warm orange and brown, to deep hunter greens or brighter limes.

Choose different ink colors or card stock tones for a more contemporary look. You may also want to add an image or watermark, and you should be able to instantly create the ultimate in winter wedding invitations. The winter is a great time to get married and there are many types of wedding invitations available. While planning a winter wedding be sure to keep these tips in mind and you should find excellent wedding invitations for a winter wedding.
