Tips for your winter wedding

Ho Ho HOOO

Planning your Winter Wedding:

• If you’re doing a first look, be prepared to have a dirty train. Do you have a plan to wash the bottom of your train or are you just going to go as is down the aisle…ew (Meaghan’s wedding)
• Shawl/Stole for the ladies, jackets in between - stay warm when you can.
• Umbrellas - bring them! For Photos, if you’re ceremony is outside - they block both rain and snow
• Opt for hair accessories instead of a veil - it won’t get as dirty
• Daylight - photos - Consider when you’re doing your photos, Time is different in the winter and you lose the sun sooner. 1st look as an option.sunset photos
• Heartier choices in your menu - hot apple cider, hot toddies, comfort food because people are cold and burning calories to stay warm
• You’ll need coat racks - nothing worse then bulky jackets on chairs for photos
• Red. It’s a fav colour for the season. However, be mindful of the type of red you choose, so the vibe isn’t Santa, it’s elegant wedding. If you LIKE the red, go HAM. (Alannah + Manny)
• Warm up the space with lighting, make it feel cozy - candles EVERYWHERE
• If you like the Holidays/XMAS, find a venue that already embraces it. It ends up being more affordable in the end because they also have a lot of the decor already out, ex. trees.
• Having an early dinner isn’t a bad thing, it’s darker earlier anyways
• Transportation - get the limo. Keep people together, this is not the time to go in individual vehicles

If you plan to have a Wedding Outside

• It could be raining, it could snowing, it could be mushy out or muddy out (because now the snow has melted)
• Hand warmers - from the dollar store
• Something to stand on - Kelly + Tarina’s wedding
• Make sure you’re guests understand if it’s an outdoor Ceremony - it’s gonna be cold
