Winter Weddings

Planning a winter wedding can be fun! Even though we are in the Carolinas, that doesn’t mean your wedding can’t be a winter wonderland. The mountains of North Carolina usually have some snow this time of year and this year is exceptionally snowy!

Location is most important and while getting married with snowflakes falling on your eyelashes sounds oh so romantic, it will be COLD! Keep your guests in mind as they probably won’t want to spend an hour outside in the freezing cold.

Be careful when choosing a location. At this time of year, some churches and other venues are decorated for the season and you may or may not like the decorations. If you can make your own decorations, look for pine tree branches with pinecones and decorate them with white lights. Pull out your Christmas ornaments and put them in glass vases and use them as centerpieces. I’m sure you can find plenty of other decorations in your own stash that could do double duty as wedding decorations.

For the menu at this time of year, you can usually save money as well. Soup and hot dips are popular for appetizers during an afternoon wedding. And, afternoon weddings are better this time of year since it gets dark early. Beverages can include white hot chocolate, hot toddies and white Russians.

There are so many options when you decide to get married in the winter. That’s why, even though it’s cold outside, winter weddings are hot!
