Welcome to winter, which may seem an odd time to celebrate your marriage when we Australians are so enamoured with beaches and sunshine. However, I love a winter wedding: snow, fireplaces, and faux fur appeal to my romantic side.

When Katherine Heigl celebrated her wedding last year with a winter theme (see above), the popularity of icicles and fireplaces as a theme shot through the roof. Here are a few of our favourite winter wedding ideas:

Get married outdoors in the snow. Don your most impressive white faux fur and celebrate with your guests in the snow. OK, so in Australia your location choices are limited, but destination weddings work beautifully in the summer, so why not head to Banff, Bardonecchia or Queenstown for a magical fairytale destination celebration?

Icicles=Chandeliers - Ice it up, baby! What better reason can there be than a winter themed wedding to serve up the ice? Crystal chandeliers, blingle candelabra and garlands encrusted in swarovski. Divine!

Remember that winter isn’t all white, although this should be the basis of your winter themed wedding palette. The other hues of winter are shades of blue, soft green, blush, silver and taupe.

Serve warming winter fare for your guests. Beef casseroles, warming vintage red wines and deep puddings with winter berries and homemade vanilla infused custards.
