When you are creating your own wedding winter wonderland the task may seem daunting at first. We have all seen the stars of Hollywood come up with ice forests and ice sculptures to capture their guest imaginations. If you are not a star you can still have a great winter wedding wonderland. There are many places to look for inspiration for how to turn any old reception hall into the magical ice castle of your dreams. Here are some helping hints in creating your own wedding winter wonderland.

The first thing you will need to do when setting the winter wonderland scene for you wedding spectacular is going to be to find a great venue. You may able to find a reception hall with a wall of windows that overlooks an ice covered river or a tall majestic mountain. You may find a reception hall with all blue walls and a blue floor perfect to create a winter ice cave. If you are having trouble finding the right venue then you should consider looking for a venue that comes in well under your budget. If you can find a venue that has great food at a great price and is under what you had expected to spend then you will be able to allocate more funding to decorating the space and creating the environment.

Next, you need to decide the type of winter wonderland you want to create. Do you want an ice castle? What about recreating a cozy ski lodge with the fire going and the snow falling outside? When you have a vision for what type of winter wonderland that you want your guests to step into then you will be able to more easily narrow down what props you will need to turn an everyday room into a winter wedding wonderland.

Here are some hints to help you create your own winter wedding wonderland in any room for any style. The first thing that you could do would be to frost all the windows. You can get cans of spray snow at almost any grocery store during the holidays and use it to frost any of the windows at the reception. The second thing that you can do is to add frosted twigs or birch twigs or pine branches to any centerpiece. Adding the seasonal branches will give your centerpieces some height and will add that winter wonderland forest feel. You could also plan a reception for later in the evening and use many candles to create a winter glow in the room; if you can use a working fire place then that is even more romantic.

Last but not least, what you need to create a winter wonderland is the lighting you choose to use in the room. A creative lighting designer can change the look of any room without too much trouble. If you were going for a winter wedding wonderland then you should ask a lighting designer if he or she could light the outer perimeter of the room with a dark blue light. The cake is also a center of focus and should be lit. If you are planning a ski lodge look, then maybe you want the lighting designer to change the texture of the walls by highlighting them with the shadow of the forest. On the dance floor you could have rotating stars dancing on the ground and changing shape to mimic the falling snow. A lighting designer is a great person to talk to because just changing the atmosphere of your space will make a huge impact.
