Wedding plans require decision after decision, which can be overwhelming at times. One of your very first choices can set the tone and theme for your entire planning journey. What season should you have your wedding?
The answer to this will mostly be based on what time of year you love the most. If you want a wintry feel with plenty of cozy vibes, a February wedding could be the perfect fit for you. And if you have always loved the romance of Valentine’s Day, you may choose to bring that to your special day as well.
Winter Wedding Ideas
The season of your wedding is going to be a main character in your day and a good place to start your planning. Keep some of these ideas in mind as you prepare for cold-weather nuptials.
- Use winter colors like snowy white mixed with rich hues such as deep reds, jade or shades of brown.
- Make the setting feel cozy and romantic. Think natural woods for tables and chairs, plus candles and dark-colored floral arrangements. Add wintry romance with lots of natural greenery.
- When deciding on venues, consider one for both the wedding and reception. This keeps travel to a minimum in case of weather concerns.
- You have an opportunity to be more creative with clothing choices by picking winter accessories for bridesmaids like a faux fur stole. Think velvet blazers if you want a unique look for the groom and groomsmen.
- Choose a signature warm winter drink or go for flavors like apple, cinnamon, peppermint, and cranberry. You can also serve hot chocolate as a great non-alcoholic option to set the tone and keep your guests feeling cozy and warm.
- Don’t forget the small details like a coat check and fun winter favors. The options are endless, but some wintry favor ideas are mulled wine, spices, cookies, candy canes, or small bottles of Baileys.
If a dream wedding includes saying your “I Do’s” in a winter wonderland, embrace the season and all that it can bring to your special day. Sometimes a snowy seasonal event can be the most enchanting!
