Is it a good idea to have a winter wedding?
Answer:
I think is is great. EVERYONE has the spring/summer weddings. A winter wedding would be special and a nice change
Im not sure what a winter in colorado is like but my friend is getting married next week (28th December) here in ireland. I know alot of people are now opting to get married in winter. I suppose it has its pros and cons. The weather is cold and no guarantee that it wont rain but in all honesty you spent most of your time indoors anyway. Church and then back to reception. I must say though I am finding it quite expensive having it at this time. She is my close friend so Ill be putting a nice bit of cash in her card. I had to buy an outfit as I didnt have anything suitable but also lent a few bits too to cut down on price. My partner had to hire a suit (cheaper) and then there is money for the night and the expense of the hotel. Doesnt help with Santa Claus visiting my house in an expensive way this year. It all depends on yourself and what you would like. Personally Id prefer a summer wedding.
well if your gonna have it in colorado have fun getting there
there is a lot of snow
but that would be cool to have a wedding in winter
but it will be hard for the guest to arrive in all that snow
Well you sweat so much in all those outfits.
I just got married 2 weeks ago and it was beautifull, the church was decorated for Christmas, the temps were in the 50's and we had a BBQ. I chose lavender and burgundy for my colors. And, there is nothing like your wedding night in front of the fireplace.
Whatever makes the couple happy is all that matters. If that is when you want it, who cares about what others think?
Tell your guest to dress warm if you plan an outside wedding, but it could be hard if you run into snow storms.
I think that would be beautiful. Everybody always gets married in the summer. So a winter wedding would be special.
myself I would think the scenery would be so very beautful, the snow a sliegh horse drawn of course, and it's always nice not to be overheated like spring and summer, but fall is nice to.the con would be if you had quests out of town, who have to travel by car if you had a bad snow or ice storm the pro is just what I said with a sliegh and horses and fireplace ahhhh If only I waited 18 ys ago to do it over mine was hot in the high 90's and sweaty ick
but it's your wedding, have a wonderful future whichever you decide. amy y
winter time is so pretty i think! A wedding at that time of year would be lovely. I say go for it. Break the mould.
It's great.there are some great things you can do if you have a winter wedding but it will be cold...find a cute coat to go over your dress and you are set.
Congrats!!
Why not love? There are no rules that say you have to marry at any time of year so go for it and enjoy it. Hope you will be happy.
WHY NOT? It's your wedding and weddings are precious so make it memorable! You will have good and bad feedback from family (I know we did lol) but in the end it is your memories that your making not theirs. Best of luck to you both!
Ive been married twice and both times I married in winter. Its different to the traditional spring and summer weddings. If you want to get married in winter go ahead make your wish come true. GOODLUCK and GODBLESS
If your husband and you want a winter wedding, I say go ahead, it will be beautiful ! ! DO what you both want, and who cares what other people say. The reason why I may sound bitter, it was a dream of mine since I was young to have a winter wedding, but my spouse and his family opposed greatly, so they dashed my dream. Although I still had a beautiful wedding in April, I would have much preferred my winter dream.
The really big plus about a winter wedding is that you KNOW that its going to be cold, so you can plan ahead. All that worrying about what the weather will be like for a summer wedding just isn't going to be a concern for you. Good luck.
I got married on 27 December, there was a beautiful Christmas tree in the church and instead of the usual hyms we had carols (no not Silent Night or In the Bleak Mid Winter).
I wore a white velvet dress trimmed with white fur and the bridesmaids were in deep peach velvet and had muffs instead of flowers.
The hotel was all decorated and had a lovely festive atmosphere. We arranged for the majoriity of our photographs to be taken in the church or at the hotel where we had our reception.
Our day was sunny and bright, as opposed to my friend's who opted for a June wedding and it poured all day.
Also by choosing a winter wedding we found nearly everyone accepted as we weren't trying to work round people's holdays- although if you have any football fanatics do watch the fixture lists!
A good tip is to have a 2.00p-ish wedding, which allows for people to travel if the weather is bad, but the daylight is still good
No matter when you decide to get married it is your very special day and you will enjoy it. Good luck to you both
I'm in Ontario Canada myself, where we define winter LOL.
My husband and I have been married since January 25th, 2003, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
I've been to summer weddings as both a guest and a bridesmaid, and both times the heat and humidity (or rain and storms in some cases) seemed to take away from the beauty of it all. I noticed that more often than not, the bride's makeup was worn out halfway through the ceremony and looked awful by picture time, the groomsmen had somewhat heavy clothing to wear when you consider the layers of shirts, jackets etc, any children in the wedding party complain the most about the heat and the biggest thing was the cost. Because summer is the most popular time of the year for weddings (with July and August being the top two), prices are sky-high.
Our wedding grand total was $2000. That may sound absurd and impossible, but that included my dress, my shoes, the cake, our flowers, our minister, our reception meal (for 22 people, including ourselves), alcohol, license and rental of the two reception rooms we had at the hotel where we got married (along with other little things). I could give you the exact numbers, which would take all day, but I won't LOL.
As for Colorado, I think that would be a marvelous place to get married. My husband and I lived in British Columbia for a year in the heart of the rocky mountains, and we saw a lot of people at the resort where we worked plan their weddings there. Plus, with a winter wedding, you're surrounded by snow, and white being the color of virginity and purity makes it all very romantic and sentimental.
Whichever season you choose to plan your wedding around, I wish you and your future husband all the best! Good Luck, and God Bless! =)
That sounds great! Just make sure it doesn't rain!
I think a winter wedding has great potential - it'll be dark, so the oppotunity for candles and fairylights are endless!!
We had our wedding in May and it was wonderful.
