Black Set Hanky
You chose to get married in the midst of winter's beauty. So celebrate that beauty rather than pretending it's summer when it comes to what you carry in your hands. White roses are beautiful and there have been hot house flowers forever, but why not celebrate the icy beauty of winter? Why not find things that celebrate the snow outside and the fire indoors? The fire and ice offer so many opportunities for contrast. Enjoy them! Lean into them. Why not consider some of these options before you make a decision to do what every other bride is doing? If you want your marriage to be magical, it's better if it's unexpected! Too many brides try for perfect, but wonderful is what you want. Wonderful's got more surprises.
- Muff: Muffs can be fur or feathers or velvet or even silk. What they're made out doesn't matter half as much as what they're made for... keeping your hands warm.
- Feathers: Carry white peacock feathers or some other white feather in a great, big "plumey" bouquet. Wear them in your hair or on your hat. Have your boutonnieres made out them.
- Pomander: Fill a fancy openwork ball with sachet or herbs. Find herbs that impart wedding blessings. (Use some essential oils to enhance the scent) Stud an orange or an apple with cloves, rhinestones and ribbons.
- Crystals, Beads and Rhinestones: Nestle sparkles into your flowers or feathers. Bead a cover for a hand bible.
- Lantern: carry a votive candle in a little glass lantern as a symbol of light and love. Now that there are little LED candles that look real, this is so easy! And what a lovely symbol to carry your light to your beloved. You might both want to carry lanterns and put them on the altar.
- Incense: Go to your local church supply store and find an incense burner that you can carry. You have to be careful with this, because they give off a lot of scent and smoke... It demands practice, but could be fun. It would also have to be legal at your venue. Smoke alarms don't always like these things!
- Winter branches: Carry an armful of winter-scented pines or rosemary, or winter berries (just deal with how to keep them on branches and not on your dress!)
- Flower: Go with one dramatic flower rather than imitating summer's flower explosion. Let the flower make a bold statement.
- Fan: How did these ever go out of style? Get a fan; decorate it with flowers and rhinestones. Learn how to use it to your advantage!
- Handkerchief: If you're going to carry a wedding handkerchief, you want one with lots of lace flowing from it. Is there family lace that might make an ordinary hankie a spectacular one?
You chose to get married in winter. So enjoy it. Play with it. And before you figure out what you're carrying, find a lovely pair of gloves to set off your dress. And then, allow whatever you take into your hands to become another fashion accessory. Your wedding is a great time to play dress up. And winter weddings offer a lot of opportunities that summer just can't consider. Too many people think that winter weddings are something you have because you couldn't figure out how to have a winter wedding. Go ahead, prove them wrong!
