Winter weddings are a growing trend, and it’s no wonder why. There are many benefits to tying the knot during the winter season. For example, brides have an unlimited amount of choices when it comes to their wedding’s theme and accessories. Plus, winter weddings are often easier to host as there are more venues open (and cheaper!) during this type of year. Below we’ve listed some of our favorite winter wedding accessories, and how you can use them to create a gorgeous wedding ensemble.

Snowflake Crystal Bridal Brooch

Our Snowflake Crystal Bridal Brooch is the perfect accent on a dress, bouquet, hairstyle, or bridal wrap this winter. Fashioned with silver and sparkling rhinestones, this crystal bridal brooch adds a dazzling, wintry touch to your ensemble.

Snowflake Tiara

Want to feel like a snow princess? Try on our Snowflake Rhinestone Bridal Tiara. Made with rhinestone encrusted snowflakes along a silver plated band, this pretty piece is sure to make you feel like a queen on your wedding day.

Bridal Fur Wrap

We LOVE our new selection of bridal capes, bridal wraps, bridal shawls, and bridal boleros. We have a lovely selection of faux fur bridal wraps for you to choose from and all are beautiful for winter weddings.

Snowflake Garter Set

Finally, underneath the dress, wear something fun! Our Snowflake Bridal Garter Set is sure to please and is perfect for any winter bride. Pretty snowflakes make this garter set unique.

In addition to our winter wedding accessories, Daisy-Days also has winter wedding favors, invitations and other winter themed wedding needs, to help make your winter wedding memorable for everyone.

Winter can be such a magical time of the year for a wedding. While most people tend to think of the snow as an annoyance, imagine how a gorgeous a bride would look as her white wedding dress glistens against the snow covered ground. Breathtaking! Not to mention, the decor options for a winter wedding are endless!

• Have snowflake wedding decorations by dangling handmade or store bought snowflakes from the ceiling of the reception hall.
• Winter weddings are often associated with the color white, but blue is a wintery color that is often forgotten. Go against the norm, and create an ice blue wonderland for your wedding! Accent blues with whites and silvers for a sophisticated, chic look.
• At the reception, hang mistletoe above the bride and groom?s seats. Voila! The perfect kiss to kick off the reception!
• Give guests winter wedding favors, like our Snow in Love plantable snowflake seed favors, miniature winter snowglobe favors, or winter scented pine cone favors. Our winter wedding favor selection has dozens of favors for you to choose from – all with a holiday or winter theme in mind!
• Want to liven up your wedding gown? Try a beautiful bridal cape or bridal wrap in an elegant fur accented by a crystal bridal brooch. 
• Personalized ornaments can be used as place cards and favors. 
• Fill the dessert table with Christmas cookies and other holiday treats, like white chocolate snowflakes. 
• A red and white theme is elegant and creates a Christmas atmosphere. Use red accents such as bows, holly, candles and even bridesmaids dresses if you want a Christmastime wedding. 
• Create a unique church atmosphere by decorating the church aisles with miniature potted trees sprayed white with fake snow and stringing white lights throughout them. 
• Candle lit centerpieces create a relaxing atmosphere, so feel free to play around with pillar candles on holiday plates, glass hurricane lamps, or elegant candelabras. 

We can’t believe how fast autumn is flying by! Pretty soon, we’ll be moving into one of our favorite times of year: Proposal Season!

We absolutely love hearing about our customers’ proposals. There are just so many unique ideas out there! But if you’re a fiance-to-be scouting out the wedding blogs looking for ideas, never fear! We’ve put together something just for you

Here are a few of our favorite unique wedding proposal ideas (complete with our engagement ring boxes and unique ring pillows!):

Rose Ring Box

Get rosy. We love the idea of a trail of rose petals leading to a fiance-to-be on bended knee, so try to get creative with your use of roses! Draw her a romantic rose petal bath, complete with candles and champange before you pop the question. Or you can try giving her a bouquet of 11 roses – the 12th rose will be our gorgeous rose ring box! Featuring a satin and velvet lining, this elegant engagement ring box is perfect for a romantic proposal involving roses.

Birds Nest Ring Pillow

Enjoy the great outdoors. Maybe your fiance-to-be loves to hike, kayak, and just enjoy the sunshine. Take her on a romantic picnic, horseback ride, boat ride, or other outdoor activity she enjoys. Be sure to pack along her favorite foods and maybe even set the mood with a little music. Then, go to a quiet spot and present her with a bird’s nest ring pillow as you tell her how you want to spend the rest of your life with her. This gorgeous bird’s nest is a natural and eco-chic way to have the perfect proposal.

Treasure Chest Ring Box

Take her on a treasure hunt. Does the love of your life enjoy surprises? Then send her on a thoughtful treasure hunt! Start out by sending her flowers to her apartment. Include a card letting her know that a treasure hunt awaits. Then, get some of her friends and family involved by giving them each a clue to lead her to the next spot. Each point on her hunt can be something she enjoys, such as a manicure, massage, or a cup of her favorite coffee. Have the final clue lead her to you and present her with her very own treasure chest ring box! This beautiful treasure chest is made of white satin and is perfect for presenting her engagement ring.
