Weddings are less popular during the winter months but, if you don't mind a little cold weather, we think its the perfect time of year to get married! Here are just a few reasons why:
Off-Season Discounts
Since the most popular months are in the spring and summer, you can receive special discounts from wedding vendors. Additionally, your dream venue will most likely be available on or around your desired wedding date so there is no need to wait 12 or even 18 months for it to become available.Flawless Makeup and Hair
The cooler weather maintains your makeup and hair in picture perfect condition throughout the day and keeps the men in the bridal party comfortable and sweat-free in their formal attire.Amazing Photos
Perhaps the best perk is that you will have beautiful photographs. The white snow creates an amazing backdrop for photographs and the grey winter sky provides perfect lighting for photographers. Grab a colorful cozy cardigan or white fur shrug and step outside to end up with beautiful pictures like the ones below. Maybe a few of snowflakes will add a little sparkle and whimsy too!
