The most popular season for weddings is obviously summer, since most people picture a green setting, with lots of sunshine when they think of this type of event. However, winter weddings can offer endless possibilities as well and have lots of advantages that many people overlook.
First of all, winter weddings are easier to organize because it's easier to book the church, the reception venue and even the honeymoon, because not many people get married in winter. Furthermore, you can find more available photographers and caterers for winter weddings than in summer.
Also, winter weddings can be much more romantic, because you can choose a very cozy and intimate setting, with a fireplace and plenty of candles. The snow can make for an amazing background for winter weddings photos, and the bride and groom's first ride can be in a horse-drawn carriage. This would make for a unique and unforgettable experience, very different from the common limousine ride or lawn background for the photos.
When it comes to visuals, winter weddings offer the possibility of going for warm, dark, rich colors, like plum, crimson or cocoa. The bride can wear a gorgeous, luxurious, ample dress, with layers and heavy fabrics. The accessories appropriate for winter weddings are also classic and elegant: cloaks, shawls.
As far as decoration is concerned, with winter weddings you can go for mistletoe or the season flowers, like poinsettias or amaryllis. You can also decorate the reception hall with Christmas lights for a festive, but still elegant and discreet setting. Another addition that would add to the décor can be ice sculptures.
One final advantage of getting married in winter would be that you can find many beautiful resorts where you could have everything: from the ceremony and reception to the honeymoon.
