Reasons why getting married in winter is a guaranteed success
Not really convinced about a winter wedding? Not so fast, let me present its advantages! There is nothing more romantic than a winter wedding, in an intimate and romantic atmosphere. You will feel privileged and enchanted!
Natural landscapes stand out in winter! During this season, the landscapes are snowy, the trees covered in frost, and the sometimes sunny skies create majestic settings. Winter decorations, such as light garlands, lamps, and Christmas lights, bring special warmth and magic. These lights add a magical and festive atmosphere that you can use to create soft and romantic settings at the reception venue.
Winter weddings rhyme with comfort and conviviality! They allow you to create a cozy atmosphere with elements like fireplaces, wool blankets, and hot drinks. It’s a unique opportunity to create a particularly cozy and warm atmosphere, perfect to counteract the outside cold and bring comforting warmth to your celebration.
Have you thought about the result of the photos? Because we have! Winter light is usually softer than that of the summer months and creates wonderful light effects and a serene atmosphere in your wedding photos. Winter landscapes, with their snow or frost, as well as seasonal decorations like fir branches and red berries, offer unique and elegant settings to immortalize your love.
But it’s not just about charming decorations; getting married in winter also brings numerous benefits to its organization. Because we know that organizing a wedding is a source of stress for you. In winter, reception venues are often less in demand than in summer. This means you have a better chance of booking the venue of your dreams on the dates that suit you. The prices of reception venues, catering, photographers, and other services are usually lower during the off-season. Not only are they savings, but also the opportunity to prioritize the quality of your celebration’s services!
