I bet you think that a winter wedding is a bad idea. But do not rush for conclusions before knowing all the benefits. The New Year and Christmas can provide a good atmosphere for a winter wedding. Winter marriages remind us of a small family reunion that can take place in a country house, with a large fireplace and lots of candles. You can go sled, have a snowball fight then you warm up with hot wine. It will be a few winter fairs for a couple.
Here are the best reasons for you to think of a winter wedding:
1. Lower price
This is an excellent opportunity to marry a budget. Winter is a slow season for weddings, so there is a lot of discount: florist, dresses, decor, makeup, etc. Many photographers and restaurants make discounts for weddings in winter and their schedule is more open, so it's easier to choose the choice of the date you want.
2. Unique wedding bouquets
Winter bouquets are the most impressive. Be creative with your bouquet. What you can use to make it unique:
- dried citrus slices - orange, lemon
- Cinnamon Sticks
- Christmas decorations
- Branches with berries
- Decorative snowflakes
- cones
- Christmas ampoules
3. Decorations
There are a lot of decoration details that will keep your guests warmly and comfortably. First of all, it's a good idea to rent a place with a fireplace. It's going to look strange in summer, but it's so interesting in winter. In addition, next to a fireplace is an ideal place for photos.
The most popular elements of a winter wedding decor are pine cones and other "Woodsie" materials. You can use them almost everywhere: for a topper on a wedding cake, for your bouquet, for guest cards, on the table, etc.
Cotton is a trend of the season. You can make the so-called cotton wedding. Cotton can perfectly serve as a basis for bridal bouquet and buttonholes and decorations for a wedding ceremony area.
And the best decoration will be Christmas lights! This unique detail will add magic to your event and surprise your guests.
4. A wedding dress
Many stores offer discounts for wedding dresses in winter. So, it will be cheaper and easier to choose the one you really like. The details are the main advantage of a winter wedding dress. It's a good idea to wear your fur coat or ask your future husband a new one. A knitted scarf will be a beautiful accessory and your wedding look will be unique. Do not forget gloves. No, you do not need to wear this accessory for the ceremony. It will take very well in your photo album.
5. Unique and creative photos
There are a lot of ideas for a winter wedding photoshoot:
- Take a husky dog
- Go sled or ice skating
- Choose a beautiful place in the forest, take a sofa, use a lot of candy
- Rent a house with a fireplace
- Take pictures near a lake or frozen river
- Rent a car drawn on horseback
6. Winter comfort foods
After a cold day, you must keep your guests warmly and comfortable. So forget the shi-shi cocktails with small umbrellas and light salads. A grilled menu will be an interesting idea (vegetables, meat, cheese). Also, you can serve a cream soup in small cups. Seems pretty cool!
Impress your guests with drinks. Wine wine and cocoa with marshmallows will be a good decision to make a "warmer" party.
7. Honeymoon
It will be perfect for going to a sunny and hot island to pass your honeymoon when there is winter in your city. You can take your wedding dress and make the second photoset! And the main advantage - these holidays will be cheaper than in summer.
8. Availability
You can choose the date of your choice, the music group you dreamed and the place for the ceremony. You simply do not need to book everything in 6-9 months in advance as you would be to make for a traditionally timed spring or summer wedding. The most popular rooms and sellers will be yours.
9. Higher presence
All guests can not be at your wedding during the summer because of your vacation. It's easier to gather all parents and friends in winter. So there will be no conflicts with your marriage date.
10. Weather
Yes, winter is winter. Time is almost predictable. It's cold. So, you know what to expect and what to wear. In summer, everyone expects sunny and hot days. But in this season, the weather is quite changing. You wait for the sun, but it may rain all day. So, just take a fur coat, gloves and be ready for the best day of your life!
