When the landscape becomes an ethereal winter wonderland, it easily lends itself as an enchanting backdrop for weddings. Unfortuantely, the chilly temperatures counteract its charm, and newly engaged couples pencil in their nuptials for warmer seasons. But with accessory assistance, you can take advantage of Mother Nature’s beauty (as well as the off-season discounted prices). Our February issue features a ton of whimsical winter accessories, and while we love our designer duds, you can’t go wrong with a little DIY.

We’re loving this simplified earwarmer tutorial by Delia Creates. With easy step-by-step instructions, you can create a simple, masculine design or embellish it with customized accents. Be sure to use soft fleece or wool material to keep your wedding day hairstyle from becoming disheveled. Delia offers a base pattern that you can use for a variety of designs, several of which she illustrates on her blog.
