Why You Can’t Go Wrong with a Winter Wedding

After months of adapting, planning, and strategising through challenging times, it feels like the perfect moment to dive back into our blog and focus on something truly magical: winter weddings.

The Magic of Winter Weddings

Whether you're celebrating in a marquee or a venue, never underestimate the unique atmosphere that a winter wedding can create. Unlike summer weddings, where the pressure for a flawless sunny day can sometimes become overwhelming, winter weddings come with certainty. You know from the start that you’ll need heating, a wet-weather plan, and a fully indoor setup. The beauty of a winter wedding is that it minimises last-minute adjustments—there are far fewer "plan B's."

Take, for example, a marquee winter wedding. You won’t be debating whether to include a hard-boarded floor; it’s an absolute must! And for outdoor areas like a smoking section in December, warmth is non-negotiable—think fire pits, heaters, and cosy blankets.

Embrace the Season

The key to a successful winter wedding is to embrace the season wholeheartedly. Lean into the romance and warmth of the colder months by filling your venue with candlelight—lots of it. Think tealights in vases, lanterns, and candles scattered on tables and in hurricanes. Consider holding your ceremony by candlelight, creating a soft, intimate atmosphere that’s both romantic and cost-

effective.

For those outdoor smoking areas, make sure they're heated and stocked with plenty of blankets. Add buckets of sparklers for a memorable evening photo op—there’s nothing like candid shots of your friends, sparklers in hand, celebrating with you in the glow of the night.

Be Bold with Your Winter Wedding Look

Winter weddings offer a chance to be daring with your colours and style. Deep, bold tones thrive in the darker months, and you can get away with so much more! Picture bridesmaids in chic black dresses paired with classic white rose bouquets—simple, elegant, and utterly stunning. And don’t forget the incredible accessories winter offers: think shawls, wraps, and statement jewellery that 

can add a stylish twist to your evening look.

Dare to Be Different

While it may not resemble the “traditional” wedding you once dreamed of, I promise a winter wedding will be worth it. The photos alone will be spectacular, especially with the dramatic backdrop of a winter landscape or the elegance of black-and-white shots.

Oh, and one final tip: never forget the fireworks! They’re the perfect way to cap off your winter celebration and add a dazzling finale to your special day.

Until next time, stay safe and keep dreaming of your perfect winter wedding!
