If you are planning a winter wedding, believe me you are thinking in the right direction. Imagine this: the cool, pure white snow is shimmering outside; the boisterous fire is providing the much needed warmth and the many candles make the surroundings ever so tender and romantic. If that sounds like the ideal wedding scenario to you, here is another reason why choosing a winter wedding is a good idea. Since most people prefer a summertime or springtime wedding, brides don’t usually have many options available in terms of choosing the perfect date and the vendor. But winter is not a rush season for weddings. So there are more open dates available and wedding professionals will be vying with each other to give you the perfect wedding.

A Romantic Wintertime Wedding

If you’re planning a winter wedding you might be wondering how you can add your own touch of unique to the festivities.

Give your winter wedding the personal touch by using these 5 great ideas:

1. Let the outdoors come inside - So you want your wedding to be graceful and sophisticated. But you are worried that you cannot have such a wedding outdoors. Don’t worry. You can always get the outdoors inside. Imagine this: You are dressed in a beautiful flowing wedding dress, you walk down an aisle which is lined up with trees, and the trees are decorated with frosty branches sparkling with lovely blue lighting. If that sounds like your ideal wedding, then go ahead and get the outdoors inside on your wedding date and still retain the elegance in it.

2. Give your guests the cozy feeling of being home - Everyone loves hot chocolate in the cold winter season. Welcome your wedding guests by giving them the hot and chilly Mexican Hot Chocolate. The Mexican Hot Chocolate is made of hot chili powder, cinnamon and unsweetened chocolate. Now that sure is a great idea for your signature drink.

3. Chic winter fashions- I think one of the coolest things about winter is wintertime fashion. You definitely could wear a little fur caplet, or a little fur hat would be adorable!! And big furry boots for when you go to take pictures. I think men look great in hats in the wintertime. Winter brides often wear lovely long gloves in the winter or have long sleeved lace dresses which I think is really pretty

4. Hearty winter foods - Winter is the time to serve some hearty dishes for your guests. And a winter wedding offers the perfect opportunity to treat your guests with great food. Summers are too hot. You have to pick your food with care. There are not many things that you can serve in a summertime wedding. But winters are the time to go all out. You have great choices available. A hot meal will be appreciated by everyone. To top it all you can ask the caterer to use some delicious and savory herbs in the food to give it some personal touch.

5. Winter Colors- Some people just go with winter white and sometimes venture into blues but with wintertime you can really go into so many deep rich colors. Jewel tones like purples and green are beautiful at this time of year. If you’re going for blue I love a sapphire blue. I think reds this time of year don’t have to be Christmasy but rather deep rich scarlet red and merlots are stunning. I also love all whites, creams, and ivories as a combination.

So the winter is slowly rolling in. It’s the time to plan your perfect winter wedding. Don’t make it harder for your guests by choosing a summertime wedding. They will really thank you and appreciate you for preventing them from going through an ordeal during a hot summertime wedding. The winter wedding will provide them with the perfect opportunity to celebrate your wedding with you.
