Brides and grooms, here are the good reasons to organize your wedding ceremony in winter.

• Wedding hall with fireplace to give a warm and romantic character to the festivity;
• Hotel on the edge of a lake which in winter offers a body of water with a particular charm; Mountain chalet: luxurious setting at the top of mountainous areas for a wedding in small committee;
• Gastronomic establishment or high altitude restaurant in ski resorts located in privileged locations (unobstructed view of snow-capped mountains);
• Winter garden: domains and castles welcome weddings with glass spaces like greenhouses for a seated meal and romantic photo sessions;
• Casino: famous establishments for a festive and cozy atmosphere in a cosy place.
Wedding planner in winter
Wedding planners are particularly fond of the winter season because it offers less stress. Indeed, planning a wedding with the risk of wind and rain reduces the margins of preparations, which is not the case in winter. These wedding professionals can give reduced rates due to the fact that it is an off-season without skimping on luxury. Your initial wedding budget will therefore cover a more luxurious service than if you convene in summer. Among the best wedding planners in winter, you have:
• Luxury Events Agency

The wedding in winter, it is also beautiful photos in perspective on your wedding album.
Beautiful wedding photos
The snow falling in abundance in winter gives very beautiful renderings to your wedding shootings. The soft light of this season is conducive to original wedding photoshoots. Your couple will be photographed saying yes in a romantic setting with a magic touch. If you are dreaming of a princess wedding, winter is the perfect time for it. Original photos in pristine white: snowflake, white winter wedding dress on a snowy hillside. The rendering of your pictures will of course depend on the professionalism of your wedding photographer.
In winter, the atmosphere is there!
The warm and friendly atmosphere of a winter wedding
The cold of winter brings all your guests inside the space to participate in the bridal entertainment. They warm up the dance floor and the risk hanging out outside is avoided.
• A fairytale wedding
The night falls early in winter. To accentuate the fairy tale wedding, you can play with lights: pearl garland, light ball, floating candle, various spotlights (Courchevel, Megève, etc.). Still in this fairy-tale theme, releasing celestial lanterns lit by your guests is a good idea. The ritual is that you close your eyes, make a wish and open them once the lanterns fly away.
• A globetrotter wedding
This type of wedding allows you to take certain traditions in cold countries and adapt them. For example, adopt the Russian tradition where the bride and groom break their glasses after drinking. Another one in Finland, where the bride crosses the village under an umbrella then dances in the middle of a round of women to finish by giving her headdress to one of them who will be the next one to marry. This is a change from the traditional bouquet tossing.
• A cocooning wedding
For the cocooning effect, opt for everything that is in favor of intimacy: photobooth or close-up magician in a winter spirit. The mountain decor, the chairlift, the sled or the ski are themes inspired by nature, full of authenticity and cocooning.
In terms of clothing, winter promises elegance.
Elegant outfits for a winter wedding
What is certain is that a winter wedding offers a fresh complexion to the bride and her bridesmaids.
• Wedding dresses in winter
The wedding dress with long sleeves and high collar is a must-have that remains glamorous. For the strapless dress, you can accessorize it with a fur muff, shawl capeline or chapka to bring charm and sophistication to your outfit. However, avoid the long train that may get dirty and wet when wiping the snow. For shoes, wear ankle boots for the day and in the evening put pumps on your feet if you feel like it.
• The groom’s costume in winter
For men, it will also look best with a jacket in a warm wool, tweed or velvet material. The quality of the fabric and its cut must be impeccable. Three-piece suit or two-piece suit, it’s up to your husband’s taste. For shoes, leather moccasins with suede lining will keep his feet warm.
Witnesses and guests can wear warm and sophisticated pieces to keep them comfortable from noon to midnight.
Winter makes all the wedding preparations easier.
