From Traditional To Trendsetting

December Wedding Styles
 

When it comes to December weddings, there's a certain magic in the air that makes every moment feel like a fairytale. It's a season of warmth, love, and the promise of new beginnings. If you're planning a December wedding, why not consider something a little different? Non-traditional weddings are on the rise, with trends such as dry and bleached flowers, non-white wedding dresses, and colored and textured tuxedos that are ready to be explored... 
 
Dry and Bleached Flowers
 
These ethereal, preserved blooms offer a unique charm, making them the perfect choice for a winter wedding. Their longevity allows you to prepare your floral arrangements well in advance, and their natural beauty complements the season's color palette. Incorporate them into your decor, bouquets, and even your bridal headpiece for an enchanting, rustic touch.
 
Dry Flowers: Dry flowers are simply natural flowers that have been carefully dehydrated to preserve their beauty and color. These flowers maintain their shape and fragrance, making them a lovely choice for wedding bouquets and décor.
 
Bleached Flowers: Bleached flowers, on the other hand, undergo a process that removes their natural colors, leaving them with a soft, muted palette. These flowers exude a sense of vintage elegance and work wonderfully in a winter wedding setting.
 
Non-White Wedding Dresses
 
White wedding dresses have long been the symbol of purity and tradition. However, modern brides are breaking the mold and embracing colored wedding dresses. Here's how to incorporate your non-white wedding dress into your overall theme:
 
Blush Pink: A blush pink wedding dress exudes a sense of romance and softness. It pairs beautifully with dry and bleached flowers, creating a dreamy, rustic-chic look.
 
Champagne Gold: Opting for a champagne gold gown adds a touch of luxury to your winter wedding. The warm tones complement the December atmosphere, giving your wedding a regal ambiance.
 
Deep Burgundy: For a bold and dramatic statement, consider a deep burgundy dress. This rich hue harmonizes perfectly with the season's cozy vibes, and it can be a stunning contrast against a snowy backdrop.
 
Colored and Textured Tuxedos
 
Non-traditional weddings are all about embracing your unique style, and that goes for the groom as well. Colored and textured tuxedos are a fantastic way for your beaux to pull off a boho-chic look for your big day.
 
Velvet Tuxedos: Velvet tuxedos are the epitome of luxury and sophistication. Opt for deep jewel tones like emerald, burgundy, or navy to create a striking and cozy winter ambiance.
 
Patterned Tuxedos: Consider tuxedos with subtle patterns, such as herringbone or tweed, for a touch of texture and personality.
 
Colored Accessories: Encourage your groom to incorporate colored accessories like unique ties, boutonnieres, or pocket squares to complete the look and tie it into the overall theme.
 
Incorporating these non-traditional elements can result in celebrating your love with a wedding that is as one-of-a-kind as the love you share and reflect your unique journey together.
