Winter Events of Yesterday

December is down time around the studio this year. We had an event on Dec 1, but for the next few weeks we're in-house working on plans for 2019. In doing that, I've had to go through some of our past events in search of certain examples and photos. I have to say we've had some gorgeous winter events over the years! I decided to go through them and pick some of my favorites to do a throwback post and share some my favorites!

#DIY :: The Cutest Hand Warmers Ever!

I stumbled across this post somehow in my travels and bookmarked it so I could come back for a closer look later...and I'm so glad I did! These are the cutest little hand warmers ever! Not only are they super cute, but they're a pretty quick and easy project for any avid DIY'er who wants to make some hand-made loving touches for their wedding or event.

You can pick any colors or prints to match your décor and color scheme, package them in a festive gift bag, and attach a card or tag with a cute saying and a thank you! I think I want to make some of these for myself...no party required, I just love being warm in the winter! :) See the entire project and instructions at raeankelly.com!

#FloralFriday :: Evergreens + Poinsettias

During this magical season of the year, some flowers are just out of season and difficult to get your hands on. Stick with the beauty of the season and use things that shout out the holidays! I love using evergreens in everything, and not just winter but year round - they don't require constant water and they'll last without a doubt. Poinsettias are just beautiful in every way and come in other colors besides red, so you can incorporate them into your event with just about any color scheme!

#TuesdayTips :: 6 Tips to Keep Your Winter Wedding Cozy

Winter is definitely a beautiful time of year! The dark moody skies, the snow, the evergreens, mittens and scarves to keep you warm and toasty.... If you're a winter lover and have your heart set on winter nuptials, be sure to think about and pre-plan options to keep your guests warm and comfy.

Warm Accessories
First things first....make sure you and your wedding party stay warm throughout the wedding day! You can use the opportunity to give something warm as your bridesmaids gifts - - wraps or cover ups that match your wedding and their dresses. Get yourself a fabulous faux fur wrap or long cape to add flair and warmth to your wedding day ensemble!

Photo Timing
It gets darker earlier in the winter and the days are shorter, so make sure your wedding day schedule allows time for any photos you need before the sun goes down and you lose any natural light. Consult with your photographer about good locations for winter photos and work out a schedule with them to make sure your winter photos are achievable!

Keep Guests Warm & Comfy
Guests will arrive at your winter soiree bundled up, so make sure to have a coat check planned and available to make things easier. Lap blankets, cider or hot chocolate stations, and hand warmers are other options to have on display and available for your guests so they don't catch a chill.

Holiday Treats
Take advantage of the traditional holiday treats available this time of year. You can create a candy or dessert station using holiday faves, and your guests will love being able to enjoy the sweet treats of the season!

Cozy Reception
Dark rich colors, candlelight, think fabrics like velvet and flannel....use what's popular throughout the season to decorate and add charm to your winter wedding events.


Make Plans for Indoors
Make sure to keep as much of your event inside as possible. Try to book ceremony and reception in one venue so your guests don't have outdoor trips to get from one to the next. If there is outdoor time for some reason, make sure things like the receiving line and group photos are inside, so your wedding party and guests can stay warm while waiting.
