‘Tis the season for winter weddings!
Winter is the rarest season for weddings. This means that if you’re planning a winter wedding, you will have less competition for dates, save money on services, and you can make the wedding unique if you’re willing to stretch your creativity.
Here are a few ideas for how to use this merry season to create a wedding like no other.
-
Cozy Attire: It’s cold outside, so brides need proper
layers to combat the winter chills. This doesn’t need to be a boring winter
jacket, though. Dress up a warm, layered winter look using accessories and
clothing that fits your style. These are just a few ideas for how you can
incorporate cozy, warm clothing into your wedding look:
• Trade heels for a warm pair of
boots
• Drape a shawl over your shoulders
• Accent your dress with faux fur
capes or muffs
•
Substitute the traditional veil
for a warmer, fashionable hat
•
Add edge to your style with a
leather jacket
•
Create an unexpected look by
adding a warm scarf

-
Let It Snow: One of the major benefits of winter weddings
are the beautiful photos that come from bright, snowy days. You cannot find
more flattering light, and the snow falling creates added interest to your
photos.
Be sure to take some photos outside if the
conditions are right. You can even use some cozy props like a blanket to add
some fun your photos.

Warm Up Your Reception: Continue the cozy theme throughout your
wedding into the reception. Help your guests feel the warmth:
•
Serve warm drinks at the bar, like
Baileys hot chocolate and other coffee drinks. To make it even more cozy, serve
the drinks in a patterned mug
•
Provide blankets that guests can
use to cozy up
•
Include hand warmers in guest
favors
Choose a dessert that will warm up chilled guests,
like s’mores that guests can roast over a small fire.

Turn
the Season on its Head:
If a festive wedding mood isn’t your forte,
don’t rule out winter weddings just yet. A wonderfully unexpected approach to
winter weddings is to go the complete opposite direction with your wedding
theme. Use tropical influences in your wedding planning decisions. Serve tropical
drinks with umbrellas and use warm, sunset colors for your wedding palette.
This theme will surprise your guests in the best way. Whatever direction you
choose, commit completely.
