When we think of weddings, our minds typically go to warm summer days, outdoor ceremonies, and receptions filled with fresh flowers and vibrant colors. However, there is something special about saying «I do» in the crisp air of a winter day, surrounded by snow-covered trees and twinkling lights. Here are some reasons why a winter wedding is the most enchanting way to say ‘I do’:
1. Unique and Memorable
Winter weddings are less common than summer weddings, making them stand out and be remembered. As guests arrive, they are greeted with a winter wonderland, setting the tone for a magical day. The coziness of an indoor reception can be just as inviting as an outdoor one, with soft lighting, candles, winter decor, and warm drinks like hot apple cider or mulled wine.
2. Cheaper and More Available Venues
Getting married in the winter can save you a lot of money on your venue and other costs associated with a wedding. Many venues offer off-season discounts, making weddings more affordable for those on a budget. Additionally, since there are fewer weddings taking place in the winter, you are more likely to secure the venue of your dreams and vendor availability.
3. Beautiful Winter Scenery
The snow-covered landscape of winter can make for breathtaking wedding photographs and a stunning backdrop for your ceremony. The simplicity of a winter landscape can complement the elegance and beauty of a wedding dress. Outdoor winter wedding photos can be captured with the bridal party wrapped up in cozy blankets, or wearing fur-trimmed jackets to stay warm.
4. Creative Winter Menu
Choosing a winter wedding date allows for creative and seasonal menu options. Hearty comfort food like soups, stews, and roasts are a popular choice in the colder months. Warm drinks like hot chocolate and coffee can be served with a variety of homemade desserts such as pies, cakes, and brownies. For adult beverages, try a winter cocktail like a peppermint martini or hot toddy.
5. Winter Wedding Wardrobe
For winter weddings, brides have many options when it comes to their wedding dress and accessories. Jackets, capes, shawls, and wraps can add an elegant touch to bridal gowns while keeping the bride warm. Bridesmaids can also coordinate their dresses with fur shawls or a coordinating jacket to complete the winter wedding look. Grooms and their groomsmen may opt for classic tuxedos, or wear a suit with a winter twist such as a velvet blazer or a tweed vest.
6. Holiday Celebrations
Having a winter wedding can also coincide with the holiday season, making it even more special. Incorporating holiday decor and traditions into your wedding can add a special touch of magic to your celebration. From Christmas lights to mistletoe, there are plenty of ways to include holiday cheer in your winter wedding.
7. Happier Guests
When you attend a wedding, you typically spend a lot of time standing outside waiting for the ceremony to start, taking photos, and enjoying the surrounding scenery. In the summer heat, guests can become uncomfortable and irritable. In a winter wedding, guests can be more comfortable standing outside in the cooler temperatures, and will appreciate the warm and cozy atmosphere of the reception.
Tips for Winter Weddings
-Always provide guests with appropriate winter attire information in the wedding invitation or on your wedding website. Let them know if they can expect to stand outside for any period of time and advise them on what to wear.
-Select a venue that offers both indoor and outdoor spaces. This will give you more options if there is snow or inclement weather.
– Be mindful of the time of day for your ceremony and photos. In the winter, the sun sets earlier, so plan accordingly to capture the natural light.
-Embrace the winter season in your decorations, and include seasonal flowers and non-floral elements such as pine cones, berries, and evergreen branches.
-Serve warm drinks and comfort food as part of your menu, and consider a hot cocoa station or a DIY s’mores bar for guests.
In conclusion
Overall, having a winter wedding can be a beautiful and memorable experience for both the couple getting married and their guests. From the stunning winter scenery to the creative winter menu options, there are many reasons to consider a winter wedding. With careful planning and consideration, a winter wedding can be an enchanting way to say ‘I do’.
