I was thinking about making little cookie mix/hot cocoa mix layered in a glass jar to put on the tables. let's see if this pic works...

thats a really cool idea!

So what made everyone decide to have a winter wedding??

we are quite unique

Oooo this is soooo cute!!
YAY for starting it!!

My wedding is technically Fall but we are doing a winter theme. I'm an off beat kinda girl... so it kinda fits. haha!

Our colors are Royal Blue and White... with also silver.

I have always thought about a winter wedding and don't want to be dealing with humidity on my wedding day! I like the idea of fireplaces and hot cocoa lol. My sister is getting married in July and my fiance and I didn't want to wait until 2011 to get married. I also work on a school schedule so we plan to honeymoon the day after xmas thru new years. Speaking of honeymoons- where is everyone going? We are thinking Hawaii, Australia/Figi, or Aruba. I just want to make sure I will be able to lay on a beach!

That's EXACTLY why I chose one of the colder months! I would have done later in November but then it gets close to Thanksgiving and my birthday and also my brothers birthday.

One of our favors will be cocoa cones! I can't wait to make those... I already bought the bags... I'm just waiting to purchase the hot cocoa until it's closer to the date. I didn't want to give out old cocoa!

We are going to Bora Bora and Moorea for our HM. And year round... you can lay on the beach!!!

OMG! those are adorable!!!! where did you find them???? your making them??

I found them on here. Some girl wrote cocoa cones.. and I didn't know what they were so I asked and she posted a pic. I don't think I have her pic anymore. SO I went looking for them.

Honestly... if you buy them they are SUPER expensive!!! One site I saw them for $10 EACH!!! So I decided to make them. I found a website that sold the cone bags... and I bought those for like 45 cents each.
Now all I have to do is buy hot chocolate mix in bulk (thinking BJ's or Costco) and a ton of marshmallows... and also some chocolate chips.... and put it all together for a fraction of the price. Oh and tie with a ribbon and a cute little note.

I would do chocolate shavings... because I know how to do that (used to work in a bakery as a kid) BUT finding a block of chocolate big enough would be hard to find and expensive. So I just figured I'd do the choc chips.

i could help you with where to get the chocolate big enough to do the shavings if you want!

these are so adorable!!!

Oh that's sooo sweet of you to offer. I might take you up on that. I'm not going to do them until september... maybe mid sept ish. So i just might track you down around that time!!!

I looove that idea of the cocoa cones!! soo cute!

We basically decided on the winter b/c the prices are amazing, FH hates the heat (even though he's from Puerto rico) and holiday time is a better time that most of our friends and family from out of state could make it!

I just hope NY is as much fun in the winter for everyone as it would be in the summer!

I love the first cake. Since my wedding is near xmas, I think I want to do an all white square tiered cake with gold ribbons up the sides to make it look like presents. I want to add a few xmas/winter touches but I don't want to go overboard. I am so excited to have a winter wedding! are you going to have your bms wear shawls?

---

I'm thinking of getting ivory colored pashminas for each of the bridesmaids....I still haven't picked out their exact dress yet so i guess it wll depend on the style too!

I did this, got them on street for city for $4/each

hey girls!!

So i keep toying btwn Silver and soft whites as colors and gold/champagne/ivory as colors. Which do you like better? I have an inspiration board that i made in my album that's with the whites and silver. But I also like the goldish tones. I dunno what to do. any help would be great!

Ok, so just found this thread! I have been kind of overwhelmed lately as feb is just around the corner ...
