Summer is a popular time to get married. While you’ve likely heard of a summer wedding, have you ever heard of having a winter wedding?When planned correctly, winter weddings can be simply stunning. They offer all of the beauty that a wedding in any other season would provide and in so many ways can offer so much more.

You already can likely imagine how gorgeous your wedding photos would be taken outside with a romantic backdrop of snow. If you love the cold, live in an area that facilitates a winter wedding, or you are starting to fall in love with the concept of getting married during the winter, it could be the right option for you (and your future spouse!).

Ask any wedding photographer and they just might confide in you that winter weddings are among their favorite to shoot. The opportunities to take incredibly beautiful photos never end. Pair a white background of snow and scenery or an old school bridge with the couple with their formal wedding outfits and a white bridal gown and the bridal parties and it is a recipe for magic.

Whether taking photos at your wedding site or the wedding venue or both, if it is deep into winter and the snow is everywhere, you are guaranteed beautiful photos and memories that will last you a lifetime. There is something about a wintry landscape that just creates a dream-like world that cannot be replicated in any other season.

Other perks if you time the wedding right involve the fact that you won’t be hot or sweating. Or have to worry about tan lines and how you look in a dress for the warmer weather. Even if you are saying your vows outside or taking photos outside, you won’t be freezing and can go right inside after. If you plan your union for winter and get a little lucky with the weather, you could be in a winter wonderland.

There are plenty of things to love about a winter wedding. You may find that venues as well as a variety of other services and goods that you need for your wedding have better prices because they are not as in-demand. Remember, the more in demand that something is, the higher the price. Considering the average cost of weddings these days, that is a fact to consider!

You also get options for your wedding attire that you might not normally get access to! A long sleeved dress or three-quarters length dress with a sweeping train looks phenomenal during the winter– and the same goes for anything lace. Want to don a gorgeous velvet cape with your forever sweetheart as the snow falls on your hair? You absolutely can do that.

There are endless perks to having a winter wedding. The photo options alone make it worth some serious consideration. The romantic potential is off the charts. so give it some thought if you are interested. A winter wedding could be the perfect start to the rest of a beautiful life with the one you love!
