If you have more whimsical tastes, there are plenty of fun theme weddings that can be done in the winter that don’t work at any other time of the year. One of the most fun and whimsical winter wedding themes is a Jack Frost/Fairy fantasy theme wedding. Usually, this theme works best in the dead of winter, when everyone is sick and tired of the cold and snow and could use a reminder of how magical the winter can be. The Jack Frost/Fairy theme can also be used in early December, just before everyone starts gearing up for the Christmas holidays. For this theme, having snow and ice is a requirement so you’ll need to hold the wedding and reception somewhere where it will be cold and snowy. If you’ve ever wanted to be a fairy princess this is the wedding theme for you!

For a Jack Frost/Fairy theme wedding, think of all the sparkle and whimsy of winter. Colors should be cool blues, pale purples, silver, and, of course, white. There should be sparkles everywhere! To decorate the church or wedding hall, cover anything that stands still in white satin with sparkly silver ribbons. Flowers should be cool colored. White roses and calla lilies with baby’s breath make a beautiful bridal bouquet. To decorate the church and to add color to the bridal bouquet or hall, use white and pale purple carnations or white and pale purple roses. Lavender roses can be difficult to find, but are stunning when used in a bridal bouquet.

Keep your dress soft and gauzy, appropriate for a fairy princess. A corseteddress with layers of chiffon covered in silver embroidery is a beautiful choice for a Jack Frost/Fairy theme wedding. Have the men dress in fairy costume style clothing if you can get them to agree to it, but since most fairy costumes involve tights they might not be too agreeable to that. If they refuse the fairy finery, choose classic tuxedos with silver or purple vests.

Decorating the reception hall for a Jack Frost/Fairy theme wedding is lots of fun.Make sure that the reception hall has lots of windows. If there is no real ice to coat the windows, buy spray on ice from a craft store that can be sprayed on windows and walls to give an ice effect. Cover the walls with white paper and spray the fake ice on the walls, or draw murals on the paper to give the effect of being inside an ice castle. Make snowflakes out of tin foil or foil paper and hang them from the ceiling.
