5 Reasons to Have a Winter Wedding ! Â The perfect opportunity to have an intimate ceremony
Winter weddings are the perfect opportunity to create an intimate ceremony. Taking place inside, frequently in atmospheric surroundings, there is more opportunity for couples to focus on the nature and style of the most important part of their wedding day, the wedding ceremony. Your wedding ceremony can smoothly become incorporated into the space of your venue and allows guests to become present and mindful of your precious moments as you pledge your vows and love.
If your wedding ceremony is important to you and you want your guests to be present in the moment, consider having a celebrant ceremony during the winter months in a fabulous, fun and stylish setting.
Fabulous seasonal opportunity to dress up with style and panache
Winter months are the ultimate opportunity to go all out with style, flair and dazzle with what you and your guests are wearing. From sequins and velvets to fake fur or tartan. Now are the months to literally let go of all inhabitations. Equally useful is the fact that outside high hot sunshine, make up wont run, you can wear heels as you don’t need to worry about walking across grass and sinking down.
Dressing up for a party is fabulous fun for everyone, and what better reason to dress up is a wedding?
An ideal opportunity and time for micro weddings and elopements
One of the most wonderful reasons to have a wedding out of the traditional season is the choice and the control it gives you. So often couples can get bamboozled into bigger weddings with larger guest lists than they actually feel comfortable with, or happy with doing so.
If you choose to marry out of season it is so much easier to scale down your celebration to a size you feel comfortable with. Consider having a micro wedding with considerably fewer guests for an intimate and considered celebration of your love. Financially it is a far better option and romantically it offers the chance to shine about your love story, not simply your contact list. Check out unusual venues which could be fully booked all summer and which call out for winter weddings such as The Marine Theatre Lyme Regis
For neuro divergent couples a smaller, more intimate wedding is increasingly seen as a perfect opportunity to alleviate stress and anxiety and doing this out of high season can add even more elements of calm and tranquillity. Choose wedding suppliers who will understand you and how you feel and work alongside you to ensure that your needs and feelings are adhered to and met.
So much more choice for your favoured suppliers with winter weddings
Wedding suppliers, like myself, Contact Me can get very busy in the key summer and spring months, frequently being booked a couple of years in advance. Additionally, some of them choose to take their holidays over the winter or shut completely!  If you are keen on having your wedding in an alternative season, and let me tell you it is a fabulous idea, you may find that you have more choice of suppliers available than you reckoned on?! When it comes to your wedding ceremony, the seasons dictate your choices less than other wedding suppliers, after all, words of love and marriage are not seasonally dictated!
Once you have found your perfect venue, look around for local suppliers in the area. In the southwest of the UK, many beautiful hotels offer winter packages for weddings and personally, I adore working at them in this cosy and welcoming time of year.
