Less Humidity If you're planning to have your big day in the south, you know this one is a huge plus! Although summer weddings are beautiful - it usually comes with lots of humidity which can take a toll on your guests, and of course your hair and make-up! Remember you can always add layers to combat the cold, but in the humid months, you can't exactly take off your clothes! Additionally, if you're planning a formal wedding, you'll most likely make your guests much happier if they are wearing their gowns in tuxedos in chillier weather, rather than on a muggy summer day. In short, if you're stressed about being hot and sweaty for your wedding photos, then a winter wedding might be perfect for you!
More Venue Dates, Better Rates & Cheaper Travel and Accommodations Most locations and vendors book up quickly during the summer months and usually at a high rate. However, those same locations and vendors are available for a lower price during the colder months. Because the winter months aren't as busy as others, they'll also be able to focus more of their attention on your big day. Additionally, travel and hotel stays are at peak pricing in the summer, when school is out and families take their vacation. Winter weddings allow guests to take advantage of off-season pricing for their travel and accommodation options.
Winter Weddings can be a rare treat! When you have a winter wedding, it’s unlikely your guests will have been to a wedding for a while and they’ll be ready for a good party – unlike the summer, which can sometimes seem like endless weddings! You can also use the winter months to inspire you and give your guests a comforting seasonal wedding which will be a totally unique experience for them! From your color scheme, to your food selections - use the winter season to add unique seasonal touches to your special day. If your style is romantic, try shades of winter white and lots of greenery, and if you're going for a rustic-cozy vibe, use lots of wood and deep hues. Embrace the season by throwing blankets over guests' chairs or keep them warm by having a hot chocolate station!
