You're not into brights, you're not into pastels ... so what sort of colors are you going to choose for your wedding?

Well, if it's a winter wedding, you should really be thinking about silver.

Why A Silver Wedding Theme Sparkles

All that glitters isn't gold. Silver works perfectly when the weather is cold, bringing to mind frost, icicles, snowy scenes ... It's also easy to theme your wedding in this way and find accessories that will fit in.

Silver Wedding Accessories

Give your bridesmaids a crystal hair clip to add a bit of bling to their updo. They'll be able to keep it afterwards so it's a beautiful bridesmaid gift too.

Silver Groomsmen Accessories

Put your groomsmen in silver vests and neckties (better discuss this with your groom first obviously, he might have his own ideas on this).

  • Silver formal vest by After Six
  • Silver bow tie by After Six

Silver Wedding Bouquets

Go for classic white rose bouquets all round - but add a bit of crystal sparkle amongst the flowers and find a silvery ribbon to tie up the stems. Or feathery silver strands and silvery greens looks fabulous in winter wedding bouquets.

Silver Wedding Shoes

Now let's talk about one of my favorite subjects. Shoes.

  • silver ballet flats with crystal jeweled shoe clip
  • crystal studded heels

You're going to have a fabulous time looking for silvery shoes. You can opt for silver satin flats with crystal jewels or you can all out all blingtastic in these rhinestone heels. Even if you don't decide on a silver wedding dress, I think silver heels peeking out from your skirts would add the perfect finishing touch to a winter wedding dress.

Silver jewelry

Think sparkling jewelry like ear studs, bracelets or a delicate shimmery necklace ...

  • crystal chandelier earrings
  • crystal cuff bracelet

Silver Wedding Cakes

If you're going down the cupcake route, think about using edible silver lustre powder to highlight your theme.
