Winter wedding themes for a magical day

5 wonderful winter wedding themes

We love winter weddings here at the Kingmills Hotel. The warm glow of fairy lights, the soft flicker of candles, the stunning winter colour schemes and the frost-kissed landscapes… It’s all so romantic! So for those of you planning a wedding with us this winter, we’re taking a look at some of the gorgeous wedding themes you could choose.

1. Winter wonderland

Channel your inner Ice Queen and step into a snowy wonderland, with pale blue, silver and white colours, twinkling lights and sparkling details. You can transform your reception venue into a cool enchanted forest with frosty foliage, white berries and pine cones.

2. Cosy candlelight

Keep the lights low and use candles for an intimate, romantic atmosphere. The warm, gentle light creates a relaxing glow, which will set the tone for your winter wedding theme. You can also use fairy lights and other soft lighting. Our Adams Room offers the perfect candlelit backdrop.

3. Festive banquet

Getting married over Christmas and Hogmanay is magical. Add to the holiday cheer with traditional colours like green and red. Trim your venue with Christmas trees, wreaths and baubles. Choose festive goodies like gingerbread and mince pies to treat your guests. ‘Tis the season after all!

4. Winter warmers

Use red and golden tones for a winter warmer theme. Light up the sky with a spectacular fireworks display, keeping everyone cosy with soft blankets. Serve mulled wine instead of champagne, and offer hot chocolate and warming whiskies at the evening reception.

5. Touch of tartan

Red tartan looks fantastic in winter and is perfectly in keeping for a Scottish wedding. Traditionally a Scottish groom wears a tartan kilt, but there are plenty of other outfit options. From tartan trews to ties to buttonholes. You can really go to town with the tartan touches across the venue.

At the Kingmills, our experienced team will pull out all the stops to give you a truly spectacular themed wedding in the Scottish Highlands. Working with our event styling and theming contacts, we will help you to create your vision. So, contact a Wedding Co-ordinator to start planning your winter wedding today!
