5 Reasons to Have a Winter Wedding

I love winter weddings. The snow, cozy blankets, and pure white makes it all feel like a fairy tale. Here are some reasons you should consider getting married in the winter.

 

  1. Change from the typical wedding fare

Want soup at your wedding? That wouldn’t be weird in the winter!  Who wouldn’t love a hot chocolate or coffee bar! There are so many ways you can make this cute and original.

 

  1. With a white backdrop, any color of wedding attire looks great!

If the majority of your photos are being taken in a heavily-green area, it limits what your bridesmaids can wear.  However, in the winter you have a great white backdrop making different color dresses a gorgeous option that won’t look like “too much”.

 

  1. You can ski!

Obviously, you must love winter and be open to any kind of weather, if you decide to get married during this season. You have to also be not set on what you want in terms of pictures. If it’s a snowy day, there is a good chance you won’t be able to see the mountains, however trees are a great backup and I know of many spots that will get you out of the wind and still capture your winter wonderland.  Give me a call to discuss this great option!
