Lights and Candles

Lighting is one of the most important aspects when it comes to setting the mood. Candles especially, and warm-toned lights can create a magical, romantic ambiance in your winter wedding.

Looking through winter wedding photos, we found a few common themes when it comes to lights and candles. Stringing market lights around low, twisting limbs to add a wintery twinkle to nature and candle lights can make your day more romantic.

Incorporating lanterns and white candles help to compliment the snow color, yet bring a nice, cozy feel at the same time.
