Whispers of Winter: Muted Silver and White and Green and
Gold Wedding Palette
The Thanksgiving leftovers are barely finished, but it already
seems we are headlong into the winter and holiday season. For this
month's Dress to be WEDnesday feature, Live
Eventfully- KristynJennifer Events and Dress For
The Wedding decided
to depart from the red and green color palette so often seen in holiday decor
at this time of year, and instead use the soft white, green, and metallic
neutrals that are naturally found during this season for our inspiration. These
colors are so subtle, we're calling them "Whispers of Winter". To
show you what kind of frosty details we're thinking of, we pinned some images
on our Whispers of Winter inspiration board on Pinterest. If
you're planning a winter wedding, or this is the theme you'd like for your
upcoming event, Live
Eventfully- KristynJennifer Events, can make this
understated winter wonderland look come together for you.

Dress For The Wedding has also been inspired by these soft muted
colors lately, too. They look so sophisticated! Here are my three
"Whispers of Winter" looks for a bride, bridesmaid, and groom.
Winter
Bridal Look: White and Gold and Sparkle

Pave Dome Bracelet /Alexis Bittar Crystal Encrusted Teardrop Earrings
One of my favorite things about winter bridal looks is that
everything looks so soft and dream-like in the winter light. I chose this organza wedding gown by Theia because
I think it has such a nice ice princess look (I sound like a 6-year-old saying
this, but I mean a nice kind of
ice princess, not a mean one!), and I've put it with some golden accessories
full of their own sparkles to warm in up. Isn't the necklace amazing?
The one winter bride must-have in my book is a faux-fur white stole (emphasis on the faux, we
don't want to hurt any furry friends, here!) I love how it looks in
pictures, and it's truly needed to protect the bride from the chill as she's
getting to and from the church.
Winter
Bridesmaid Look: Icy Gray

I started to add some green touches to this gray dress, but I
soon found that the gray by itself was so striking! Instead, perhaps the green
touches could come in with pale green velvet ribbon in the flowers, and some
beautiful evergreen trimmings in her bouquet and around the ceremony and the
reception. Can you imagine how deliciously pine-y scented that would be? For
the attire, I opted for a monochromatic icicle gray for all the accessories:
some pave sparkle earrings that resemble icy snow, a sparkle clutch and a thick
gray necklace, that has some pale rose tones to warm up the whole look.
Winter
Groom's Look: Classic Black Tuxedo

Dot Silk Self-tie Bowtie / Skiing Cufflink by Enrico Pardini - Silver Rhodium
There's nothing more classic than a groom in a tuxedo with shawl
collar like this one, with an elegant tie for a winter wedding. If you're lucky
enough to get snow falling, the black tux looks so sharp against the white
background. You can't fool around with a tux too much, and you don't need to --
just pair it with a white shirt, and some shiny, well-made formal shoes.
I'd recommend just adding a few subtle pieces of personality,
like these little dots on the otherwise black bow tie, and
the whimsical skier cuff-links. I
think adding a rich, wool, opera scarf for the groom to wear during outside
picture taking adds some fun to the winter spirit, too!
I hope these frosty whispers of winter have actually warmed your
heart. Until next month, enjoy the holiday season!
