Warm and Cozy Atmosphere: Embrace the chill with a warm and cozy atmosphere. Think rich, deep colors like burgundy, forest green, and navy, paired with plush textiles like velvet and faux fur. Adorn our event spaces with twinkling fairy lights and candlelit centerpieces to create a romantic, intimate ambiance.
Hot Cocoa Bar: Warm your guests' hearts with a hot cocoa bar. Set up a station with various hot cocoa flavors, marshmallows, whipped cream, and toppings like cinnamon sticks and chocolate shavings. You can even include a splash of Bailey's or Kahlúa for the adults.
Winter Wonderland Decor: Transform The Manor into a winter wonderland with snow-inspired decor. White drapery, crystal accents, and glistening chandeliers can give your venue an icy, elegant charm. Consider hanging snowflake ornaments or icicle lights from the ceiling for a whimsical touch.
Frosty Photo Booth: Create a photo booth inspired by the winter season. Provide guests with props like faux fur stoles, snowflake masks, and cozy scarves. You can even use a backdrop featuring falling snowflakes for that extra touch of magic.
Seasonal Florals: Opt for seasonal flowers to add a touch of nature to your winter wedding. Deep red roses, white lilies, and pinecones make for stunning bouquets and centerpieces. Consider incorporating evergreen branches for a fresh and fragrant touch.
Fairy Tale Lighting: Illuminate your outdoor spaces with fairy lights. Hang them from trees, drape them over arches, and create a magical pathway for your guests. The soft, twinkling lights will add a touch of enchantment to your wedding.
Winter-Inspired Menu: Craft a winter-inspired menu with hearty dishes like roast beef, mashed potatoes, and root vegetables. Include seasonal flavors like cranberry, cinnamon, and nutmeg in your desserts and cocktails. A warm apple cider station can also be a delightful addition.
Blankets as Favors: Show your thoughtfulness by providing blankets as wedding favors. You can customize them with your names and wedding date. It's a practical gift that will keep your guests warm during the celebration and serve as a lovely keepsake.
Snowy Send-Off: End your winter wedding on a high note with a snowy send-off. Provide guests with biodegradable snow confetti or faux snow to toss as you and your partner make your grand exit. It'll make for a magical and memorable farewell.
