Although you won’t find snow in Las Vegas, it’s a city full of enchanting glittering lights and holiday decor if the season is right, making it the perfect place to plan a Las Vegas winter wedding. Always & Forever Weddings and Receptions is a popular venue that couples turn to when planning their special day in the cooler months, and with our sparkling blue lake and romantic ceremony gazebos, you can create the romantic wedding you have always dreamed of. With that in mind, let’s dive in to discuss a few tips on planning a winter ceremony and reception in the Las Vegas area.
Las Vegas Winter Wedding Planning Suggestions
Since our venue has hosted winter weddings for many years now, we have plenty of tips to pass on to you and your loved one. This includes suggestions on color schemes, decor, choosing a winter garden venue, as well as indoor and outdoor ceremony space recommendations, and lighting ideals.
Having a wedding in Las Vegas during the winter season can be a beautiful and romantic affair that these tips can enhance. Because of this, we hope you’ll be able to work them into your special day, no matter what type of wedding you’re having – a vow renewal, or an elopement, as well as a large or small ceremony.
Incorporate a Blue & White Color Palette for a Winter Wonderland Feel
Adding a color palette that represents the winter season, such as icy light blues and white, can reflect the colors of a snowy landscape. Also, adding a few touches of deep navy hues creates a nice contrast. You can incorporate these colors into different elements of your wedding, such as the invitations, table settings, flowers, and even the wedding party’s attire.
Blue accents are exceptional when mixed with more traditional winter wedding colors like white and silver. Picture white tablecloths with blue napkins, a wedding cake adorned with silver icing and blue winter berries, or a silvery-blue bouquet for the bride. If you’re having a Las Vegas holiday wedding, such as a Christmas ceremony, then be sure to add some splashes of red and green. These beautiful combinations can transform your Las Vegas winter wedding and create an unforgettable atmosphere for you and your ceremony guests.
Add a Touch of Metallic to Your Ceremony & Reception for an Icy Sparkle
Metallic elements are a necessity for any Las Vegas winter wedding, regardless of your chosen color scheme. They represent the icy sparkle of winter and can be just the added touch needed to get the winter look you’re after. Metallic elements can either be lightly scattered in multiple places or concentrated in one area for a striking effect. For example, they can be incorporated into centerpieces or candle holders at the wedding reception. Or, a hint of metallic color on the edges of name cards can add an elegant touch.
Winterize Your Las Vegas Wedding with Snowflake Decor
Adding snowflake decor is a popular choice for couples who have selected to have a winter theme for their wedding, and this can look especially great when used on printed materials like invitations and place cards. Additionally, consider hanging them from branches or a ceremony gazebo. Utilizing paper snowflake cut-outs can add an extra touch of magic, and by sparsely placing them throughout the ceremony space and reception hall, you can emphasize the winter theme without it appearing excessive. You also may want to seek out illuminated hanging snowflake decor for an enchanting atmosphere.

Questions & Answers for Wintertime Weddings in Nevada
We realize that Las Vegas is not known for being a winter wonderland, but there are things you can do to create a more winter-type feel for your big day. With that in mind, you may have a few questions on how to make that happen. Below, we have provided a couple of questions and answers that can help you along the way when it comes to winterizing your ceremony and reception.
How can you manipulate lighting to create a cooler, wintery atmosphere within your wedding venue?
Manipulating lighting is a powerful way to create a cooler, wintery atmosphere within a ceremony space or reception hall. To achieve this, consider using cooler shades of light such as blues and whites, which naturally give off a chilly feel. LED uplighting can create a beautiful icy ambiance, especially when used against white or metallic backdrops.
Twinkling fairy lights hung around the venue or placed in clear glass containers can create the sparkling effect of snow or ice. Combine this with the crystal chandeliers in our wedding chapel to create a stunning winter wonderland effect. Additionally, using candlelight can add a touch of warmth to the cool atmosphere.
How can I use wedding invitations and other stationery to set a winter tone for my event?
A wedding invite is a great tool to set the tone for your big day, especially when it comes to a winter-themed event. Consider designs that incorporate wintertime elements like snowflakes, pine cones, or icy blue and white color schemes. You could also incorporate winter images on your stationary or place cards, such as bare trees, snowy landscapes, and so on. Additionally, try adding silver or gold foil for a festive touch. Menu cards or place cards could be styled in the shape of winter elements, or adorned with winter berries or evergreens. These little touches can add just what’s needed to make your day what you’re hoping for during your winter-month wedding.
