subject: Top 3 Reasons Why You Need A Winter Wedding [print this page] Why do you need a winter wedding? Following three good reasons make the most of the cool season by having a winter celebration.
1. The price is right
Wedding venues quickly become booked solid through summer months, which means your dream venue may be unavailable for a year of more. By planning a winter wedding, you're far more likely to secure the venue you want, when you want, without peak season prices. Likewise other suppliers often offer discounted packages during the off-season.
Tip: Don't be afraid to negotiate on price. Even inflexible suppliers may be open to offering a discount during a quieter period.
2. Warmth from within
Atmosphere is important, so find a warm venue that either has its own distinct personality, or showcases the great outdoors. Art galleries, theatres or opera houses evoke a sense of drama while venues such as ski lodges, country clubs, and hotels with large windows will enable you and your guests to enjoy the surrounding scenery without catching a cold.
Pros advise that the focus of a winter venue be the interior, as opposed to elements like indoor-outdoor flow.
Winter opens up opportunities for places that you may not have considered before. For example, with its baby grand piano, large candelabras and soft lighting makes a spectacular location.
Most winter weddings have a wonderful ambience. Winter is a special time of year to marry. It allows you the luxury of a fire to create a special cosiness - Inside or our. Our winter brides catch the last of the glorious colour as the Virginia creeper in the courtyard turns from green to golden red.
Tip: Choose a venue with excellent heating and an indoor area suitable for both ceremony and the reception, so guests won't need to brave the frosty air by changing locations mid-event.
3. Colour comes to life
If you want a bright pink vibe in the middle of winter, go for it. Choose a light colour and contrast it with a darker shade. For example, chocolate brown is lovely because, unlike black, it's warm and soft. A peachy orange colour palette paired with a rich, chocolate brown makes a gorgeous combination.
Tip: Winter's bare boughs and frosty carpets provide an ideal canvas for splashes of colour. Bold accent hues pop while soft pastels such as aquamarine look ethereal when juxtaposed against a snow landscape. Incorporate nature's best in your theme. Consider a chocolate brown pinecone motif, or weave winter wonderlands symbolism throughout the event.
