The snow is falling, the holidays are around the corner, and snuggling with your sweetie with a cup of hot cocoa is a romantic and lovely way to spend an evening.  Well, the cozy feeling that winter brings can easily transpire into your wedding theme.  Have a winter wonderland event with subtle snowflake decor such as monochromatic white table settings with just a sparkle of snowflake confetti or by including a winter motif in your invitations, wedding cake, and other decorations.  Not only will the wintry silver and white wonderfully capture such a romantic season, it will also be unbelievably beautiful and timeless.
