This bride wore toasty shearling wedges with pink laces for outdoor photos at her Vermont wedding.

To prepare for portraits out in the cold before her Colorado wedding, bride Lanie had sleeves added to her Vera Wang gown. "I wanted to look seasonally appropriate but not bundled up," she says.

Before a snowy wedding in Sundance, Utah, bride Jodi, bundled in a Jin Wang gown and a friend's faux-fur shrug, struck a pretty pose on skis.

When the weather outside is frightful, there's even more reason to keep guests dancing till dawn. At Alden and Steve's wintry Whistler, British Columbia, wedding, donuts and spiked coffee provided a sugary, caffeinated boost for the "last dance" set.

For Lanie and Matt's snowy Colorado nuptials, the bridesmaids carried wintry bouquets of fir, wild pine, cedar, aspen twigs, and berries, all swathed in houndstooth wool.

A gift of wool socks awaited Susan and Peter in their newlywed suite after their wedding in Hunt, Texas.

Alden and Steve served up this classic steamy cocktail to warm guests after a chilly outdoor walk from the ceremony to the reception site. The self-serve station came complete with napkins printed with instructions on how to concoct the cocktail. 

For her wedding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, bride Dorothy tackled the snow in silver Hunter boots that stayed (mostly) hidden under her wedding dress.

It may be too chilly to hold a ceremony outdoors in the dead of winter, but inventive bride and groom Alden and Steve didn't let the pristine landscape in British Columbia go to waste: A wall of windows provided a view of the snowy forest and mountains as they exchanged vows. Small glass vases filled with tulips and hanging votive candles gave the ceremony venue a soft glow at twilight.

Bridesmaids at Kathryn and Joe's wedding wore Cara Accessories wraps to keep warm over their J.Crew gowns and held small bouquets of white cyclamen.

A small tree at the entrance to Lenore and Lawrence's reception greeted guests; glass compotes hold the favors -- ornaments made from vintage Christmas postcards.

These woodsy save-the-date cards, perfect for Jodi and Jon's snow-filled Utah wedding, were designed by the San Francisco-based Yellow Owl Workshop.

Centerpieces of cotton bolls, pinecones, evergreen sprigs, and flickering candles strike a seasonal tone at Lanie and Matt's Colorado wedding. "Cotton was an unusual choice, but we loved how it mimicked the snow outside," says the bride.

Wedding party gifts at Jodi and Jon's frosty affair included flasks for the men and winter boots for the women.

Napkins tied with a tussie-mussie of local greenery topped letterpressed menus at Alden and Steve's rustic reception to add a seasonal touch.

Bride Jodi's bouquet was a collection of ivory ranunculus, parrot tulips, and anemones, with accents of lamb's ear, blooming cotton sprigs, and tiny tallow-berry branches.

Lanie and Matt chose a faux-bois wedding cake decorated with pinecones and cotton bolls (to mimic the snow) for their winter reception. The log pedestal it sat on reminds us of fresh-cut firewood.

Antique skis hung above the escort cards at Jodi and Jon's wedding. At the welcome party the night before, guests were asked to write well-wishes on the skis.

Above the mantel at Lenore and Lawrence's wedding hung a monogram made from glittered pinecones dusted with powdered snow; below it were glass cylinders filled with mini pinecones and candles.

Cups of hot chocolate and apple cider were served to guests before Jodi and Jon's ceremony. 

A birch branch makes a simple escort-card holder, echoing the naturally sophisticated vibe of Jodi and Jon's reception.

This winsome wedding cake at Lenore and Lawrence's wedding was decorated with paper trees and "snowballs" piped from frosting and topped with a marzipan snowman and snow-woman holding a replica of the bride's bouquet.

Escort cards bearing crests with Lanie's and Matt's initials were nailed to a stack of firewood for their winter wedding in Colorado.
