Why Have a Winter Wedding? Five Reasons to Say "I Do" in the Festive Season
From easier planning and built-in festive décor to cozy indoor celebrations, here are five reasons to say I do during the winter season.
So you have just gotten engaged, and now the fun (or frustration) of planning a wedding begins. The first thing you may discover is that your date is already taken at most of the venues you approach.
On top of the high competition for summer wedding dates, a summer wedding has its own challenges, like the heat and competing with your guests' vacation plans. Chances are you got engaged on New Year's Eve or Valentine's Day, so why not plan to get married during the festive season as well?
A Year Is the Perfect Amount of Time to Plan
A year is the perfect amount of time to plan a wedding. A year and a half can seem like too much, and six months too little. If you get engaged in January, a winter wedding the following year may be ideal.
Festive Décor Is Built In
Décor, aside from floral table centres, is something many couples wonder about. How much is required in hotel spaces? This is where the season works in your favour.
The winter holidays often mean hotels are dressed for a magical winter wonderland atmosphere, with lights, trees, and Nutcracker-themed touches. If the style and traditions of the hotel match yours, you can take full advantage of that enhanced attention to décor during the festive season.
Winter Suits the Wedding Wardrobe
Wedding attire often includes waistcoats or cummerbunds, yards of silk fabric, fitted bodices, and even satin gloves. The bridal dress of your dreams may simply suit a winter celebration better than a warm July afternoon.
Add a white cashmere bridal shrug and a rich burgundy theme for the cummerbunds and bridesmaid dresses, and you are all set for a winter wedding.
No Back-Up Plan Required
While outdoor weddings are divine, they always require a back-up plan. A winter wedding leans into the cozy vibe of the indoor season, so there is no back-up plan to worry about.
Perfect Timing for the Honeymoon
A winter wedding may dovetail perfectly with the ideal timing for your destination honeymoon, letting you trade the festive season at home for somewhere warm and unforgettable.
