Getting Married in Winter - what to look out for

Are you trying to decide when to get married? Winter weddings can be both beautiful and economical, but the lack of daylight and cold weather can pose unique challenges. To make the most of your winter wedding, consider how you can use the winter season to your advantage.

One way to do this is to make use of the extra time indoors by holding indoor activities such as board games, employ a musician to entertain the guests or make sure there is plenty of drinks to keep your guests happy . These activities are perfect for keeping guests entertained and warm during the winter months. Moreover, they can add a special touch to your winter wedding that will make it truly memorable.

Another great way to make the most of your winter wedding is to take advantage of the lower prices that many suppliers offer during the colder months. This can help you save money on decorations, catering, and other services, allowing you to make your special day even more affordable.

Specifically thinking about Photography, the short days can be a real challenge, mid winter brings sunset in around 3.30pm and the useable light is often gone by 3pm so timing is critical.

Think about the time of the service, try to keep this to around 1pm, that way you have enough time in the afternoon for some outdoor photographs - weather permitting obviously. Also consider guest comfort, you may not want to have guests outside in the cold for photographs so make sure you choose a venue that has good and well lit indoor space

Overall, winter weddings can be just as beautiful and meaningful as summer weddings, as long as you make use of the unique opportunities the season presents. With a bit of creativity and some careful planning, your winter wedding can be the perfect way to celebrate the start of your new life together.
