The symbol of the identity of purity and tenderness, which will be a white wedding, will appear in all the details of the upcoming celebration. A happy start to a new life with a blank sheet of paper is carried out in most styles from rustic to stately. It is appreciated by adherents of minimalism and folk rituals.
The pure color looks solemn against the backdrop of natural landscapes and in the Snow Queen’s castle. White fabrics gracefully fit the newlywed in the form of full skirts, tunics or mermaids. Representatives of the flower kingdom are surrounded by snow-white petals of various shapes.
Celebration color scheme
White wedding – after hearing these words, many of you probably imagined an absolutely white hall. However, this is not at all true. Decorating a white wedding undoubtedly requires a white base color, but it can be complemented with any shades. This move will help highlight the color, making it less intrusive. There shouldn’t be a lot of additional shades; they just need to gracefully and discreetly complement the overall picture (for example, a white bridal bouquet, or flowers for decorating a hall can be diluted with a soft yellow tint).

- Silver;

- Yellow.
Flowers for a wedding
A bridal bouquet can easily become a bright accent to a snow-white look. Naturally, the website www.svadbagolik.ru does not advise a potential bride to arm herself with an armful of red roses - it will be too heavy, and, needless to say, inappropriate. And, interspersed with crimson buds in a creamy company of other, “lighter” colors, shaded with lush greenery, will look very advantageous. If we are talking about a wedding in the cold season, then white color in bouquets should be treated with extreme caution. The general theme should be supported by small details. Let's say, if you have planned a non-standard bouquet of pine cones, support the white color with appropriate spraying, interspersed with pearls or satin ribbons, beautifully wrapping the bouquet's stem.
Bride's image
The decoration of a white wedding simply amazes and delights with its beauty, but the ceremony will not be complete without an elegant and sophisticated image of the bride. The white look is considered classic, so the bride should not have any problems choosing an outfit. Based on the theme of the evening, you can choose a dress of any style. Beware of ivory or milky white shades against a snow-white background of the room, such a tone will look dirty. A bouquet will help complement the image. Luckily, florists can find the perfect white bouquet for you without any hassle.
Fairy tale bride: how to feel like the Snow Queen
You can use a fairy tale as an idea for a winter ceremony. Stylize the decor of the room to match any of the relevant stories; fortunately, there are plenty of such stories in domestic and foreign literature. Just look at “The Snow Queen” alone, with its ice floes, blizzards and arrogant coldness. But there is also “Morozko” and “Snegurochka”. Replace the car with a sleigh, complement the outfits with fur coats and hats, offer guests a ride down an impromptu slide - the choice is truly limitless. But then the decorations of the banquet hall must be carefully thought out: snowdrifts and drifts made of artificial snow, ice sculptures, snow-white candy falling on the guests, paper and textile snowflakes and a large assortment of soft drinks. During such a celebration, the meaning of white color is revealed from a completely different side; in the winter interpretation, it is slightly arrogant, even arrogant. Therefore, accessories for the bride are selected according to this interpretation: pearls in jewelry, an icy white tiara in her hair, a light, almost transparent manicure and sparkling shadows in makeup.
It is not advisable to dress your bridesmaids in white; such a bold step will not lead to anything good. The newlywed is at great risk of simply disappearing into the general background. It is better to complement their dresses with bright details, belts, handbags or just strings of beads. The main thing is that during the wedding it is clear to everyone where the bride is and where her closest friends are. Otherwise, the situation will be very uncomfortable if one of the witnesses surpasses the main character in beauty. Discuss in advance who will come and what they will wear, because during the ceremony itself the bride will have no time to resolve conflicts and resolve incidents.
Snow-white weddings, contrary to popular belief, can be very original and unusual. This color is so pure and fresh that the newlyweds and guests will long remember the celebration itself, its design, and the unusual surroundings.
Hall decoration
Decorating a white wedding is quite a labor-intensive process, but, nevertheless, it is very popular among brides around the world. And no wonder. The beauty and grace that this shade brings cannot be compared with anything else.
Use flowers to decorate your celebration. What would a wedding be without them? Place them on tables in transparent vases, or make an unusual canopy entirely consisting of snow-white fragrant buds. Let the hall simply be buried in flowers, and their aroma accompanies you everywhere! For a more original decor, you can use a combination of feathers and flowers.
Whitened tree branches are also perfect for decoration. You can place them in large vases on the floor or decorate tables with them. In any case, your guests will be delighted. As for table setting, there are no problems here. Classic white plates and starched napkins will fit perfectly into the overall interior.
Guest chairs can be decorated with white satin bows or floral arrangements. You can also place white candles on the tables, they will help you create a romantic atmosphere.
Season
Summer wedding celebrations are often held outdoors. A snow-white arch decorated with white and green compositions is the ideal backdrop for off-site registration. Drape the tables for the guests present at the ceremony with white covers and decorate them with flowers, bows, and ribbons.
Decorate the place where the banquet will be held with fabric - tulle, organza or other lightweight materials that can be laid in beautiful folds. Create something like a tent over the table of the newlyweds. If the celebration takes place on a terrace or veranda, you can hang garlands of hearts, paper fans, flowers, and pompoms. In the evening, decorate your terrace or area with LED garlands.
There should be as many flowers as possible at the wedding. Asters and chrysanthemums, phlox, peonies and field daisies will decorate tables no worse than expensive roses and orchids, but they will emphasize unity with nature and create an atmosphere of rustic simplicity.
You can come up with many ideas on how to decorate a wedding in white. Don't limit yourself to one shade of white - dilute it with pearls, flowers, feathers, lace, and you will be able to create a special atmosphere of sophistication and tenderness, airy lightness that no other color can convey.

White wedding decoration and invitations
Invitations for a white wedding, as you might have guessed, carry the traditional sophistication and classics of white. A fairly simple background can be decorated with various decorative elements - ribbons, openwork patterns, lace or calligraphy. The combination of this color with a brighter and more saturated one (for example, gold, silver, lilac, red) will give the invitation card more charm, sophistication and make the main color less intrusive. Depending on the theme of the evening, the text and design of the invitation can vary from strict to mischievous and cheerful. Pay attention to the trend of recent months - calligraphy on light-colored paper.

A classic in a new guise
Decorating a wedding hall in white is considered a classic option for a celebration, but it became such only in 1840, when Queen Victoria of England got married in a white dress.
The wedding will be dazzling, filled with purity and tenderness, if you decorate the hall in white. White has several different shades, due to this the room will not look like a sterile hospital ward.
You can combine several shades of warm white or, conversely, choose cool tones - from snow-white to slightly bluish. You can use strict black and white decoration of the hall for a wedding. Bright shades are more suitable for the summer-autumn season, while cool shades are associated with winter, snow or the first thawed patches of spring.
The bride at such a celebration should wear a snow-white dress. Neither ivory, nor pearl or any other shade will work - they will look dirty against the backdrop of dazzling whiteness.
Achromatism can be complemented with silver and soft blue tones. They will be unobtrusive, but will dilute the cold of winter. Warm shades can be emphasized with the pearl shine of the decor.
White is a universal color, it goes perfectly with any color, so it can be combined with both rich blue, red, burgundy, turquoise, and delicate shades - blue, pink, mint, lilac and others:
- very bright, summer combinations - white with yellow, crimson or fuchsia;
- white and black - harmony, imbued with English aristocracy;
- For a spring wedding, a combination of white and green is suitable.
The wedding procession will look luxurious if the first car that takes the newlyweds to the doors of the Wedding Palace is a snow-white limousine or a white retro car.

About details that highlight the purity of color
We decided to make everything white, even the flower petals! Since I am a lover of details, I approached this very carefully. We made gift candles for the guests white so that they would later remember the celebration, and the team dressed all in white. All this very clearly reflected what we wanted to show - the purity of the lines, the purity of the decor, the purity of the wedding itself.
