Weddings by Color {White & Gold}

White and gold wedding colors are most often seen in winter weddings, but this color combination can be used anytime throughout the year to achieve a high-end classic look at your wedding. From the dress to the cake, there are easy ways to incorporate this color palate. If you're looking to add a third color, black is always a great complement, or keep it shiny and add silver to the mix! Here's a little inspiration to get your creative juices flowing. 

Invitations

Start to show off your color scheme through your save the dates and invitations. The options for this are endless so you're sure to find a design you feel shows off your colors and the feel of your wedding.

Dress

Start with your dress. If you really want to have your dress go with the theme and you're willing to step outside of the box, go with a dress that is similar to this gold sparkle one. The big catch here, make sure it doesn't look too prom-ish, there is a fine line between the two.

Groom

Don't forget to have your groom sport the colors as well. A white shirt and gold tie will do the trick quite easily but you can also consider a fun pocket square, a gold watch, or other small details to make your groom match your color scheme.

Shoes

Don't forget to incorporate into your shoes as well. I love that these are mostly white but have a hit of gold.

Bridesmaids

Have your bridesmaids match along to your dress or stick to a simple dress for yourself and have your bridesmaids show off your color scheme with these shimmering dresses. If you want to keep their dresses simple, find them each a great statement necklace in gold and white. It will bring in the theme without being obvious.

Bouquet

White flowers are the obvious choice to match a white and gold themed wedding, but the addition of pinecones to this bouquet make it a more unique choice than just using white flowers. Using gold pinecones subtly throughout the wedding will give it a winter feel without going overboard.

Aisle & Chairs

Of course an aisle like this comes with a big price tag, but this is just for inspiration. The use of white branches, gold lanterns, and various white and gold candles along the aisle is a design you can replicate without breaking the bank. Another easy choice is to use gold chairs for your ceremony and reception.

Escort Cards

To bring in the pinecone theme again, I love the use of pinecones as escort cards or placecards. Guests could event take them home to put them on display as a simple reminder of your wedding day.

Tables

From the centerpiece to the table numbers and place settings, white and gold can be easily featured on the tables. Bringing gold branches into the centerpiece works best for a winter wedding and using a gold tablecloth will make the room shine. If you don't want to cover every table in gold, choose every other or only feature it on your specialty tables: sweetheart or head table, cake table, gift table, bar, etc. Gold frames also make for easy table numbers.

Uplighting

In order for your venue to match with the color scheme and the overall room to glow in gold, uplighting can make a huge difference. You can see how the whole room screams gold in the picture below. Although it is an additional budget item, uplighting is always something you should consider. Plus, everyone looks better in amber light!

Cake and Dessert

There are so many ways you can incorporate white and gold into your wedding cake, white is the obvious choice but talk to your baker about how you can add gold accents like the ones below to your design. Also consider adding fun different desserts including the always classic rice krispie treat. I love the coconut and white chocolate on these that also add that snowy winter feel.

Sparklers

Ending the night with a sparkler sendoff is a must if your venue allows and it is the last way you can show off your gold theme to guests.
