1. Winter Wedding venues
To plan a frosty fairytale, an aesthetic setting that amps up the magic and love in the air is a great beginning. Venues like mountaintops, hill stations, parklands, picnic areas, a greenhouse, a manor in the woods, a country club, a barn, or even a cruise could uplift the ambiance of the winter wedding. A breathtaking view would be the cherry on top of the cake. The couple and the guests will admire the natural landscape surrounding them and have an immersive engagement in the wedding activities. Winter wedding venues can make way for all other activities that can be done to add to the enchantment of the union of two people in love.
2. Winter decor
To add to the charm of a wedding venue in the winter season, intricate snowflake decorations can be the icing on the cake, metaphorically and literally. The wedding themes could include snow, jewels, stars, flowers, etc to make the best of the winter. It can revolve around a soiree, gala, ball, masquerade, etc.
Cakes can be bejeweled with icing of snowflakes, flowers, or any other art that is meaningful to the couple. Strings of lights and fresh flowers can add vibrancy to the venues to get married joyfully. The clothing on the seating arrangement can abide by the theme or a combination of themes for whimsical and delightful winter wedding ideas. Bowls of potpourri will bring rustic charm to the overall vibe of the winter wedding. The decor of pine cones will add a cute winter feel to the setup.
Chandeliers can light up the room of the winter wedding venue. Candle lights on the tables and the lining pathways will be a touch of coziness in the coolness of the winter wedding venue. Having fireplaces cracking will bring more intimacy to the wedding. Other winter ideas could include icicle sculptures, hangings, accents, or draperies to emulate an otherworldly touch with velvet for a warm touch. Experimenting with different fabrics like silk, satin, etc can help you decide on what suits your vibe for the wedding venue. Containers or sculptures with potpourri and lights can serve as beautiful props for photoshoots of the couple and the guests.
3. Keeping Guests Warm
Having firewood and a crackling fireplace will keep the couple and guests warm. Not to mention that this would tie in perfectly with wedding themes going for rustic charm. To warm the guests from within, a good supply of steaming hot beverages like coffee, tea, hot chocolate, latte, etc will keep the ambiance happy. Serving hot soups, charcuterie boards with steamed veggies, mashed potatoes, and steaks will offer a hearty meal to the guests and couple.
Having warm overcoats, gloves, and boots will help to beat the snow at the winter wedding venue. Also, warm indoor spaces for guests and couples to retreat to, to warm themselves, will keep them in good spirits. We don’t want the chills to dampen their spirits!
4. Pampering the guests and couple
Providing thoughtful little hampers with moisturizers, lip balm, scents, refreshing face wipes, and an assortment of chocolates will bring in a much-needed self-love amidst the occasion of celebrating love. Giving little packets of dry fruits will keep the energy levels of the guests high and be a sweet gesture of love.
Giving comfy blankets or warm scarves to wrap around will keep the outdoor wedding venue well in use as the guests chatter away happily while keeping warm. The heat of the bonfire will call in warm interactions and an appetite for warm drinks or food.
Securing pleasant indoor spots for photoshoots will help the couple and the guests in case the wedding venue gets dark in the evening or too chilly. Lighting can be controlled indoors and worked with to accentuate the beauty of the couple and the setup.
5. Winter Wedding Entertainment
A stall to make candies or candles together would make for memorable moments that will be long cherished by the couple and the guests. Candles would make for adorable keepsakes to take home. Pictures could be taken of the couple and guests with lit-up candles. Other winter wedding ideas could include cozy activities or gatherings that bring heartwarming togetherness and incredible opportunities for capturing pretty photographs.
Having a counter to make s’mores with a spread of delish toppings by the fireplace or a cozy setup outside with a bonfire will offer a perfect meeting point for guests to unwind at.
For outdoorsy winter wedding ideas and to make the best of the wedding venue, organizing skiing, hot air balloon trips, decorating and lighting up floating lamps, and photoshoots of these activities in real-time will win the crowd and the couple’s hearts. Taking the guests down a scenic route in the mountains or greenery in a cable car will be a breathtaking engagement for all. An indoor wedding idea could include glass painting, serving as lovely mementos for everyone.
Ultimately, the first dance of the married couple will set the stage for the best way to keep each other warm in the love and embrace they share. Playing a well-curated playlist to keep the feet moving in tandem will see many more people dancing with their significant other.
