Baby, it’s cold outside…
You can really heat things up when the temperature outside is cool – it’s all about contrasts. Imagine a white wedding…
White Church
This historic white church, built in 1822, is set high on a hill in Blandford, Massachusetts. It is available for weddings (thewhitechurch.org). Consider a white carpet down the aisle, white flowers, and white fabric (tulle?) draped every where…
Or, scatter white petals outside the church and along the aisle. Or, use red petals and then have the flower girl add white petals when she walks down the aisle.
White Linens

As an added bonus, white linens are readily available from party rental companies (and are often less expensive than specialty colours). Your venue may even include white table cloths and other linens in the rental cost. Also, white dishes are now intentional and not just the every day plates used at every other event…
White Wedding Cake

If your wedding cake is going to be completely white, it can be ornately decorated without seeming over-the-top. Consider textures, flowers, designs…
White Flowers
You can make a white bouquet interesting by using several different flowers – you have a wide selection to choose from. Consider: roses, lilies, and gerber daisies together, for example.
White Carriage

…drawn by white horses of course! Another option: use white cars and decorate them with white flowers.
RED DRESS
The Bride is supposed to be the centre of attention, right?
Now the wedding day is really all about you!
Note the white fingernails – a french manicure or something equally subtle is appropriate when you are wearing a red dress to your own wedding. Simple jewelry is also best – avoid white pearls or any other colour. Diamonds or red stones work well.
Make sure you have the personality to pull this off, not everyone should wear a red wedding dress! This is for confident, scene-stealers only!
For the very brave: Ask all of your guests to wear either black or white only so that you really light up your special day.
