So, you’re getting married and you and your beau have decided that there’s no better time to celebrate this magical event than at the most wonderful time of the year - winter. This is the season that brings beautiful landscapes, cozy gatherings, snowy adventures and twinkling lights, and planning a wedding at this time is no more difficult a task than during the spring or summer months. But, before you jump straight into planning, here are a few elements you might want to consider before you brave the elements of winter;
Winter, especially in Canada, can be fickle and year after year the weather is becoming more difficult to predict. The first thing that you might want to look into is a place that can accommodate both your ceremony and reception. This will lessen the travel for you and your guests in the event of a snowstorm.
More likely than not, you and your guests will be spending a fair amount of time indoors, so why not bring the natural scenes of snowy topped evergreens? Paired with twinkling lights, candles and maybe even snowflake decor, your event space will bring the warmth of the holiday season into your venue. Bonus: if you’re having your reception close to the New Year, sparkles, glitter (and lots of champagne) is definitely on theme.
Arguably the best part of planning your wedding is the dress shopping for you and your crew. No one wants to wear bulky coats over elegant gowns but, you have to keep your bridal party warm for those outdoor photos you’re inevitably going to take. Stay warm and on trend with beautiful faux fur stoles that will give your girls a chance to stay warm in the frigid weather - it takes time to get the right shot.
Alternatively you could get married in the Spring but, some might say tis the season to say “I do.”
