Winter Wedding Colors and Jewelry Inspirations
A wedding is a life-changing occasion, and it’s one of the most important moments in your life. While it’ll be magical no matter what season in which your wedding occurs, there’s something special and enchanting about a winter wedding. If you’re in the midst of planning a winter wedding, then you’re in luck! We’ve got plenty of winter wedding ideas for you including color and jewelry inspirations.
Winter Wedding Colors
There are plenty of beautiful winter wedding color palettes, and hopefully these ideas will help you brainstorm color ideas. Some couples decide to use white, blue, metallic, or earthy colors for a winter wedding. Others choose different shades of red or green, but then pair these with other colors like black or gold rather than together. Here’s a list to get you started:
White
A classic white palette is perfect for a winter wedding. A white wedding gives winter wonderland vibes full of enchanted beauty and romanticism. There’s a lot you can do with this, and you can even add a pop of color if you’d like.
In terms of jewelry for a white-themed wedding, you can’t go wrong with diamonds. They’re classic, sparkling and dazzle in a winter-wonderland wedding. You can also select lab-created diamonds. They’re more affordable, but are physically, chemically, and optically the same as earth-mined diamonds.
A diamond necklace with a matching tennis bracelet would dazzle on your white wedding day. You can even add some diamond studs or some drop earrings for more sparkle. Glittering diamonds draw attention and make a statement on your big day.
Dusty Blue
Blue is reminiscent of the clear blue skies and a glittering layer of fresh snow making this hue an ideal winter wedding color. You can weave in the blue color in a variety of ways from flowers, to tablescapes to placecards. Another way to incorporate blue into your wedding is with your jewelry. Aquamarine is a great gemstone choice because it looks stunning on its own as well as paired with diamonds. An aquamarine pendant or a pair of aquamarine drop earrings would tie in your wedding color well.
Rose Gold
A rose gold palette infuses your winter wedding with shimmer and warmth, and adds a touch of romance. Including this as a wedding color also works well for jewelry options. You can utilize rose gold wedding jewelry that includes your favorite gemstones. If you’d prefer jewelry without gemstones, select a rose gold cuff bracelet or bangle.
Dark Wine
Red is reminiscent of the holidays, so a variation of red like wine works well for winter weddings. Dark wine hue is one of the most-sought after shades for a winter wedding, if you plan to include this in your wedding jewelry, then consider opting for the wine-colored gemstone rhodolite.It’s a variety of the garnet, and admired for its deep-burgundy color. To add more glam to your wedding, look at dangling rhodolite and diamond earrings.
Winter Wedding Jewelry Tips
- If you want to mix metals in your jewelry, keep similar tones together. For example, pair rose gold with yellow gold or platinum with white gold.
- Keep your budget in mind as you select your wedding-day jewelry. Remember that the gemstone and the type of metal can impact the cost.
- Buy from a reputed brand that offers easy returns/exchange if you’re dissatisfied with the product. Research the warranty, reputation of the company and the exchange/refund policy.
- As you evaluate colorful gemstones for your wedding jewelry, prioritize quality over the carat weight (hint, use the 4Cs).
