I LOVE Christmas, and so when the Christmas mags start appearing on the shelves, they often find their way into my shopping cart as well. Today, I picked up the Christmas Ideas special issue from Better Homes & Gardens and I LOVE it! It is filled with tons of decor ideas and Craft Projects for Christmas - and it also had a lot of great wedding inspiration as well. SO much in fact, that I will dedicate TWO posts to it:)

My favorite was this Green and Brown color scheme. Green and Brown are a very popular color scheme this year, and work well for fall, summer or even spring depending on the shades you use. The photos below, scanned from the mag, show a few examples of how they used this crisp, fresh palette for a perfect winter wedding setting. It's a great option for brides who want to have that winter wedding feel without the traditional winter wedding colors and accents. The article included instructions on how to make the trees, the place mats and tips on how to achieve the look yourself.

The Mag is on news stands until, wouldn't you know, Dec. 25th, lol.
