Spring is Here…Time to Plan Your Winter Wedding!

With balmy weather on hand, it can be hard to get into the spirit of the winter months, however this is the perfect time to make winter wedding arrangements. If you have not done so yet, begin by choosing your wedding theme. Winter Wonderland is a classic cold weather wedding theme, perfect if you love the frosty look of snowflakes, crystal bridal jewelry, and white branches. For holiday weddings, a classic deep red and evergreen color palette is traditional and very easy to pull off. Or opt for something a little different, such as an opulent purple and gold color scheme, which is marvelous in rich velvets, metallic trims, and formal accents like crystal bridal jewelry in eggplant.

Once you have decided upon the perfect theme, it is time to book your wedding venue. With winter about eight months away, it might be hard to feel urgent, but even in the off season, the best reception sites can book up fast. You must plan especially early if your wedding date will be around Christmas or New Year’s Eve, as venues such as hotel ballrooms will be booked for parties as well as weddings.

Spring is also the ideal time to shop for a winter wedding bridal gown. Unlike regular clothing, bridal boutiques do not have seasonal styles. This means that even in April or May you can try on samples of gowns perfect for December weddings: rich fabrics like velvet and satin, sumptuous embroidery, and sparkling crystal embellishments. Some designer gowns can take up to six months to special order, and then you will need time for alterations, so the spring is definitely the right time to shop for a winter bridal gown.

With the main elements in place, you can spend the summer months deciding on the details for your winter wedding at a more leisurely pace. Attend cake tastings, design the centerpieces with your florist, and shop for bridesmaid jewelry gifts. By the time the cold weather comes back around, you will be ready to have the perfect winter wedding!
