From twinkling lights, cozy vibes, and a magical winter glow, winter Weddings radiate an enchanting vibe, but also serve as a savvy opportunity for budget-conscious couples as it’s generally cheaper to book Wedding venues and Wedding vendors! It sounds like a perfect way to create your dream day, while coming in under budget.
Here’s how to make your winter celebration magical regardless of your wedding date:
1. Enchanting Venues:
Select a cozy wedding venue that complements the season’s natural lighting. We love opting for wedding venues that are a bit more rural as they ooze rustic charm and really showcase all of the best the winter months have to offer your big day.
2. Chic Chandeliers and Fairy Lights:
Elevate your decor with stunning chandeliers intertwined with twinkling fairy lights, adding a touch of elegance and warmth. Incredible lighting also guarantees a wedding reception that your guests will be talking about for years to come.
3. Rich Textures:
Think velvet drapes and faux fur wraps to keep guests warm. Or, forgo a white wedding dress and incorporate winter textures into your wedding outfit. A tweed suit anyone?
4. Mulled Wine Station:
A hit to warm guests, perfect for chilly evenings. We also love the idea of a s’mores or hot chocolate station. Summer months have champagne bars, winter months have warming treat bars instead!
5. Golden Hour Glam:
Leverage the softer light for stunning wedding photography. Seriously, your wedding photos will have so much more complexity to them with the everchanging winter light.
6. Deep Color Palettes:
Decorate with hues like burgundy and navy, reflecting the winter months. Or, why not opt for completely white decorations? Perfect opportunity for creating a winter wonderland!
7. Native Florals:
Why not choose Australian natives like proteas and eucalyptus, to add a rustic touch to your decor and bouquet? Australian native flowers not only showcase some of the best of Australian weddings, but dried flowers mean you can enjoy your wedding flowers years after your special day.
8. Seasonal Menu:
Embrace local ingredients during your reception, offering hearty food to celebrate the winter season. And yes, don’t forget to bring out a swoon-worthy charcuterie board full of figs and tasty cheese.
9. Indoor-Outdoor Flow:
Choose venues that allow guests to enjoy both the cool air and cozy interiors – just because it’s cold doesn’t mean that your reception and ceremony have to be exclusively indoors.
10. Plan for the Weather:
Have elegant shawls, fluffy blankets and outdoor heaters ready to keep the wedding day and evening warm and comfortable.
Crafting your winter wedding in Australia is all about embracing what the season offers, making it uniquely yours and celebrating the cold weather. From the snug décor touches to the seasonal flavors, every detail can contribute to creating an atmosphere that’s both cozy and romantic. Because maybe summer weddings have had their share of the fun!
