Wrap your winter wedding menus with rosemary for a sweet-smelling reception
I am huge into herbs, so I gasped out loud when I saw that Jeff and Brandon tucked sprigs of rosemary into the menus at their wedding. My favorite! If you’re not familiar, think of the warm comfort foods of winter — turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and so on. You’ve probably eaten them flavored with rosemary!
This herb’s smell is savory, refreshing, and oh so appetizing. That makes it the perfect complement to a menu at a winter wedding! The aroma is subtle enough that it’s not going to knock anyone off their feet, but with a sprig at each plate, rosemary will definitely lend a delightful aroma to your reception area.
Grooms in veils and a solo by The Mama Tits: just another gay Seattle wedding
After a decade-long partnership, Jeremy and Eric were finally married last June — on the very day that the state of Washington converted most state-registered domestic partnerships into legally recognized marriages! The couple said their vows on their own backporch in front of a few close loved ones. Damn, everything looks perfect. The colors, the smiles, the view, the weather — it all looks lovely and intimate and romantic and everything a wedding should be between two people who’ve been together so long.
Warm yourself up with festive winter weddings
By show of hands, who’s planning a winter wedding? Ooooh, are you in for a fun time! Winter weddings offer a romantic aesthetic that’s all their own — the landscape, the festive time of year, the weather potential (yeah, counting that as a plus!), and let’s not forget the fashion potential!
‘Tis the season, so I scoured Offbeat Bride’s archive of winter weddings and found 19 gorgeous bits of inspiration for your solstice/New Year’s/holiday/snowflake-themed wedding.
