Warm Accessories
First things first....make sure you and your wedding party stay warm throughout the wedding day! You can use the opportunity to give something warm as your bridesmaids gifts - - wraps or cover ups that match your wedding and their dresses. Get yourself a fabulous faux fur wrap or long cape to add flair and warmth to your wedding day ensemble!

Photo Timing
It gets darker earlier in the winter and the days are shorter, so make sure your wedding day schedule allows time for any photos you need before the sun goes down and you lose any natural light. Consult with your photographer about good locations for winter photos and work out a schedule with them to make sure your winter photos are achievable!

Keep Guests Warm & Comfy
Guests will arrive at your winter soiree bundled up, so make sure to have a coat check planned and available to make things easier. Lap blankets, cider or hot chocolate stations, and hand warmers are other options to have on display and available for your guests so they don't catch a chill.

Holiday Treats
Take advantage of the traditional holiday treats available this time of year. You can create a candy or dessert station using holiday faves, and your guests will love being able to enjoy the sweet treats of the season!

Cozy Reception
Dark rich colors, candlelight, think fabrics like velvet and flannel....use what's popular throughout the season to decorate and add charm to your winter wedding events.


Make Plans for Indoors
Make sure to keep as much of your event inside as possible. Try to book ceremony and reception in one venue so your guests don't have outdoor trips to get from one to the next. If there is outdoor time for some reason, make sure things like the receiving line and group photos are inside, so your wedding party and guests can stay warm while waiting.
