Black and white weddings were big last year, but this year they are going to be all the rage. This timeless look simply screams elegance. There are also a lot of ways to spice up a black and white wedding, like adding a black sash to your wedding dress or even getting a dress with a bit of  black in it. There are also many options for flowers. Roses are a timeless and beautiful option. Bouquets of mini white calla lilies are gorgeous, so is carrying one single calla lily. However, if drama is the name of your game then you have to go with the black calla lily. While they are not truly black, they appear black before they turn purple. So you and your florist will have to plan together to make sure the lilies look black. But this is a very bold and elegant look that is sure to be remembered. You may also think of having an all white candy bar. The all white candy bars are by far the prettiest I have seen. One thing is for sure the options are wide open for a black and white wedding. Whether you have something whimsy or traditional, it is sure to look extremely elegant.

Lilly Bouquet

I love this bouquet because it is not your traditional style. However, the lack of traditional does not take away from its beauty but actually adds to it. I love the intricate detail of the greenery. Also I love the flower choose. Lilly’s has always been one of my favorites—so I may be a little biased. My favorite part is how the stems are allowed to show through the bottom. This has become a huge trend in bouquets and truly captures the full beauty of the flowers.Source

Wedding Cape

What winter bride would not like to look like a snow queen? How do you achieve this look? Well, one way is to wear a flux fur cape and even a flux fur muff. It is a look that is timeless and glamorous. Plus it added to the cozy feel of a winter wedding. Besides you if you have to switch venues for the reception. It will be really cold and you don’t want tons of pictures of you leaving the ceremony in your old beat up winter coat. The capes can also be rented at some places if purchasing one is not in your budget. Also check out ebay. I see them on there from time to time as well. See the Cape Pictured!

Winter Wedding Cocktail

Winter weddings are simply gorgeous and every element just added to their splendor. As a special added touch serve your guests a signature drink of spiked hot chocolate. This is a great way to warm the moods of your guests. You may also serve an alcohol free version for the kiddies. When topped with loads of whip cream and a cinnamon stick, this comforting drink turns into sheer elegance. To make this lovely concoction mix 1 cup hot chocolate with ¾ oz. Kahlua and ¾ oz. Triple Sec. Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a cinnamon stick.Source
