Winter Weddings
Have you considered a winter wedding? Winter weddings have a lot going for them. Yes, summer weddings sure are stunning but there are some downsides to consider. Sweltering heat could make a hot mess of a bride’s wedding hairstyle and make melting away. And with a hectic diary packed with other summertime nuptials, some guests might be forced to RSVP ‘no’ to your warm-weathered bash. But with a winter wedding, you can avoid all that and get stunning snowy wedding photos, holiday-themed wedding decorations, and more.

Less Stress
Winter weddings generally offer a lack of stress about the elements since they typically take place inside. The risk of rain and wind can make the planning period extremely stressful and potentially costly if you need to add a tent. Guests are frequently exposed to heat and cold in all outdoor weddings and they can be very uncomfortable. Taking Mother Nature out of the equation means less stress for you, your vendors, your guests and your family.”
More Venue Dates & Better Rates
Most locations and vendors book up quickly during the summer months at a high rate, whereas those same locations and vendors are available for a lower price during the colder months. Because the winter months aren’t as busy as others, they’ll also be able to focus more of their attention on your big day You’ll have more flexibility to come in and set up early or break down late, as there’s likely not another event right after yours that the venue needs to prep for right away.”
Bonus (and Free!) Decorations
Although the time of year might not be the reason you chose a winter wedding, there are many benefits to a celebration aligned with the holidays. Most venues you select will most likely be decorated for the holiday season adding a more celebratory feel to your special day.” And, at no cost to you!

It’s Something Out of the Ordinary
Simply it’s something different! From colour choices to flowers and décor, there are elements of the season to inspire your theme that will stand out in a sea of peonies.” If your style is romantic, trying shades of winter white and lots of greenery, and if you’re going for a rustic-cozy vibe, use lots of wood and deep hues. Embrace the season by throwing blankets over guests’ chairs or keep them warm by serving a hot signature cocktail.
It’s the Best Time for Black Tie
If you’re planning a formal wedding, you can bet you’ll hear much less complaining from your guests in black tie attire when it’s cold outside. Tuxedos weren’t meant for outdoor ceremonies and cocktail hours in the heat of the summer, however, they are the perfect choice for indoor winter weddings, as are gowns covered in sequins.
You Won’t Be a Hot Mess
Some people seriously don’t deal well in the heat. It makes them irritated and not to mention a sweaty mess. You can always add layers to combat the cold, but in the hotter months, well, you can’t exactly take off your clothes. “If you’re stressed about being hot and sweaty for your wedding photos, than a winter wedding is perfect for you!
