Winter Wedding Inspiration...and a Lot of Lemonade

I love looking for wedding inspiration on the Internet. Unfortunately, a lot of the details I've fallen completely in love with (serving raspberry mint lemonade in mason jars) aren't really suitable for a winter wedding. However, because I'm currently so in love with these summery drinks we will take a slight detour from the theme of this post to drool over these photos...

Gorgeous right? Anyway, newfound lemonade obsession aside, I'm always thrilled when I come across some really lovely winter wedding inspiration. So for all you other winter brides out there, I've provided a link to the first blog entry I came across that made me really really excited about having a winter wedding.

Staying Warm at Winter Weddings by Beth Helmstetter

Basically her top five tips are (these are highly paraphrased):
1) Greeting guest with a hot drink
2) Having candles everywhere
3) Have a fireplace
4) Winter themed favours
5) Having a hot chocolate bar

I think I'm likely to include at least three of these ideas. You'll have to stay tuned to find out which ones...

Anyway, while I was particularly inspired by this post, I in general love pretty much everything Beth Helmstetter does and I love reading her blog. I especially love the fact that while she's truly a lady and a complete girly-girl, she's also an awesome business woman. Anyway, that's enough gushing for now, and just for fun here's a few more of my favourite Beth Helmstetter posts.
