Winter wedding Ideas: 5 top tips for planning your Winter Wedding
5 Winter Wedding planning ideas
Winter weddings can be so beautiful, with the cooler weather, seasonal blooms and lots of twinkly lights and candles. It's a great excuse to incorporate this season in your wedding, whilst keeping in mind the importance of keeping your guests warm and comfortable. So keep scrolling for 5 top Winter wedding ideas to help with your planning.
1. A Winter Wedding Colour palette
With the cooler months, shades of deep orange, rich reds, dark greens, deep blues and crisp whites really help to represent this season, why not incorporate some of them into your wedding. Creating a mood board is one of the best ways to start your wedding planning process. This means it’s time to think about your desired theme, style, and color palette. These are important because they will influence every decision you make moving forward.
2. Winter wedding drinks
As the weather gets colder if you are having a wedding or party keep your guests warm, with a hot chocolate. This could be in addition to a dessert table or part of it. You could create a hot chocolate station and go all out to include all the extras to make the best hot chocolate. Such as marshmallows, spices, or even a shot of whiskey, bringing in that Winter spirit to warm their bellies.
3. Keep wedding guests warm
Buy some blankets, to keep your guests warm and cosy. Make a little display of them to let guests know they can grab one if they get cold—this is especially useful for older guests. If you booked your venue because of the stunning grounds or outdoor elements, it would be a shame to keep people cooped up indoors. Tempt them outside with fire pits and warm blankets, in your chosen wedding colours. You could consider providing scarves or hats as an alternative.
4. Winter wedding flowers
Make sure you meet your florist and discuss your ideas and find out what flowers are in season during the Winter. Incorporate some of them into your wedding bouquet or wedding reception tables. Keeping it simple and using one or two types of flowers often achieves the most sophisticated look.
5. Wedding lights
Light up those candles (if your venue allows). There is nothing like candles in key places to create that feeling of warmth and the flickering of candles is so pretty and romantic too! Use them to dress the ceremony aisle and repurpose them later around your venue for the reception. Fairy lights are also a brilliant addition, to bring stunning, soft, lighting to your space, think about whether they can be suspended from ceilings or beams in your venue.
