If you’re not sure what colors to incorporate into your wedding take a look around you for the latest wedding color trends, or look at the season your wedding will be held in and take some inspiration from the colors of the season.

Another thing you might consider is your wedding venue. You may have to go with colors that compliment the colors of your reception or wedding location.

It may take a visit to a caterer or a bridal boutique to look at brides maids dresses, or table linens to decide what color will work the best for your style and tastes.

When you find the color that’s perfect for your wedding you’ll know it.

• Winter Wedding Place Card Ideas
• A Winter Honeymoon Destination
• Winter White Wedding Inspirations

Today I have some winter wedding invitations to show you with a little snowflake inspiration.

Here are a couple from Invitation Consultants.

The first one has a delicate sheer look that makes you think of winter and snow. There’s even a delicate snowflake printed in the sheer window on the front of the card.

Or celebrate the snow by topping your invitation with beautiful snowflakes.

Win your guests over to the snow side with this beautiful winter snow scene printed on your invitation.

My favorite is this embossed snowflake card. There’s a rhinestone right in the center of the snowflake.

The Guide is a small pocket size book that you can keep with your wedding planner and carry along with you for reference when you’re planning your wedding. Then when your mom or mother in law tell you what the proper etiquette is, you can give it a quick look up if you’re just not sure.

The book answers all your wedding etiquette questions from registering for gifts, to planning your reception, and everything in between.

The best part is The Pocket Idiot’s Guide to Wedding Etiquette doesn’t just cover traditional weddings, it also covers second weddings, cross-cultural weddings, and civil unions.

It would make a great gift for newly engaged couples. You can find out more about the guide at the Penguin Group website.

First up I found these really cute snowflake wedding place cards from Timeless Paper at Etsy. I love the die cut details, and the idea of hooking it onto the glass, very elegant and a little different.

These handmade pop-up white bird placecards from PetrinaCaseStudio are also fabulous, and a very unique idea with a little extra dimension.

Or get back to nature with these snowy pine cone winter wedding place cards from ARemarkYouMade. These would be really cute for a December wedding.

One of my favorites is this chic snowflake printed place card from TheGrouchyChickPea. I love all the intricate details in the snowflake.

I hope one of these place cards helps you find some inspiration for your winter wedding.

Today I thought I’d share a few simple ideas you can use to make your fruit the center of attention for your food table. Wedding reception fruit displays can be easier to create than you might think.

This first fruit display just uses the glass building blocks. Of course you’ll want to wash them well before you use them for food, but they will make a beautiful display. When the light hits them just right they’ll sparkle under the fruit.

Even a simple tray of fresh fruit can look stunning if you mix up the colors to make them pop.

A fruit kabob can be another wonderful idea for a fruity wedding centerpiece. Guests can grab their own fruit kabob off of the display to add them to their plate at dinner time.

You can also add fruit with a chocolate fountain to make a beautiful edible display.

Use it right and fruit can be a beautiful part of your wedding reception decorations, as well as a tasty treat for your guests.
