Winter Wonderland Wedding

A winter wedding offers numerous advantages over a summer celebration. The unpredictable weather in the UK is no secret, so could hosting a wedding during the winter months be the solution to this age-old issue? By planning for cold and potentially wet conditions, or even snow, you can avoid the disappointments that might arise from assuming a warm, dry summer day. After all, we can’t always rely on British Summertime!

With fewer weddings taking place outside the peak summer season, venues tend to be quieter, giving you better availability. This means you won’t be forced to choose from only the dates that are still open or have to wait too long for your preferred time. If you're worried about a marquee wedding in winter, think again. Many marquee companies offer heating options to ensure you and your guests stay warm from start to finish, even into the early hours if that’s your plan. Indirect blower heaters are the most efficient heating solution for a marquee, though other types may also be available. Be sure to arrange for heating with your marquee provider at the time of booking, as demand can be high during the winter months.

As the evenings grow darker earlier in winter, why not take advantage of this by hosting a fireworks display to launch your reception in style? Instead of waiting until the end of the night for guests to start leaving, this could serve as a grand feature to kick off the festivities.

For your decorations, draw inspiration from nature with deep tones, rich velvet fabrics, winter foliage, and frosted glass accents. A winter wonderland theme could be the perfect starting point for your colour scheme, helping your wedding stand out among the summer celebrations.
