4 Ways To Make Your Winter Wedding in Detroit Fabulous
Your big day is fast approaching, and you’re getting more and more giddy by the second. Not only are you excited about being surrounded by your friends and family, but you’ll be saving some money by having your wedding during the winter in Detroit. But how can you make your cold weather celebration more magical? Here are a few suggestions for you to consider:
1. Frosted Invitations.
The invitations to your wedding can be a little tricky. You want to be original without being weird, and you certainly don’t want to be too generic and bland. During the winter months in Detroit, you have a great opportunity to be original and have a cool invitation to send to your guests. By sending out invites that have a sparkly “frosted” aesthetic, you are giving your guests an interesting and conversation-starting RSVP. Sending these out in silver envelopes will give your guests a real introduction to the winter wedding they are about to attend.
2. Centerpieces.
The large floral displays often found during spring and summer weddings won’t really work as well if the temperature outside is 35 degrees in Michigan. Bringing back these flowers will no doubt be nice, but may leave your guests cold. Instead, embrace the outdoor climates and bring the winter into the space! Have small ice sculptures featured on each table, along with tall white branches and crystals to really set the mood. Michigan Winter doesn’t have to be all gloomy and dark, as these centerpieces are sure to sparkle and brighten everyone’s mood.
3. Cocktails.
Your guests will want to cut loose after the ceremony, and whatever kind of bar you decide to have should be stocked with delicious beverages to enjoy. But because it’s cold outside, why not give them some options that reflect the chilly notions beyond the reception doors? Apple cider and hot rum toddies are going to be staples, but branch out with eggnog and white hot chocolate beverages as well. If you’re feeling even more adventurous, look into combining sake and vodka with a sugared rim – a “Saketini” – which will surely get your guests in the mood to dance the night away. Don’t forget about the food; Contact a Detroit catering company for their services on your big day and collaborate with them to come up with exciting meal options.
4. Music.
Having a DJ has become the norm for most wedding receptions in Detroit; they’re less expensive, easy to please, and have a setlist ready to go for most Detroit weddings. Unfortunately, you’ll have to sit through some pretty lame music at points. Why not go back to a simpler time and splurge on a band to play at the reception? Having a band at your winter wedding allows you to choose a repertoire that aptly reflects the season. Whether you choose a jazz band to kick things up on the dance floor, or a classical string quartet to serenade guests with Vivaldi’s “Winter,” a real live band will trump any DJ that could be hired.
The most important thing to remember is that it’s your special day and should reflect your taste. Your wedding should be fun, beautiful and delicious, and a Detroit catering company can help you design the perfect dinner along with a lovely table setting.
