A frozen fairy tale
Winter palettes are some of the most magical to photograph. Icy blue, silver chrome and white catch light like snow and ice, and they work for so many winter moments: the first birthday of a December baby, a holiday open house, a school winter formal or a snowy wedding. Unlike red and green, a winter wonderland palette carries you all the way from December to February.
The Winter Frost palette mixes icy blue, silver chrome and white in mixed sizes, designed for snowflake balloons and frosted greenery.

Building the Winter Frost look
In the photo, icy blue and silver chrome clusters wrap both sides, white balloons puff out like snow, and large snowflake balloons sit at the shoulders. Frosted pine and silver greenery weave through, and flocked mini trees and silver gift boxes sit at the base (styling props). Recreate it by placing silver chrome in clusters of three, white in cloud-like puffs, and snowflake accents high and low for balance.
Stylist tipA string of cool-white fairy lights through the arch makes it sparkle like frost after dark.
Where to put it
A 10 ft arch over the dessert table is the classic party setup. For family photos, frame the tree or a white wall. For a winter formal, 20–40 ft across the gym or ballroom. Keep it away from heaters and fireplaces — warm, dry indoor air in winter softens latex faster.
Pair it with the party
- Table: white linen, silver chargers, blue glassware.
- Food: snowflake cookies, white hot chocolate bar.
- Florals: white roses, silver dollar eucalyptus, frosted pine.
- Activity: “snowball” toss, paper snowflake craft.
- Favours: snow globes or mini marshmallow bags.
