WINTER WEDDING

INDOOR OR OUTDOOR?

Choosing An Indoor or Outdoor Winter Wedding

 

Choosing whether to have an indoor winter wedding or an outdoor winter wedding is probably the biggest decision you’ll have to make about your winter wedding. While some brides may assume it’s not possible to have an outdoor winter wedding, it’s very possible. Even if you live in an area with lots of snow and cold weather you can still have a beautiful outdoor wedding if you plan ahead and make sure that you plan for all possibilities.

 

Why choose an outdoor winter wedding? 

Outdoor weddings can be stunning, especially in a clearing or in the snowy woods. Couples who are fond of outdoor sports like skiing or snowboarding would probably love to get married in a ceremony on top of a mountain or at their favorite ski resort, and many popular ski destinations offer special winter wedding packages for couples. While it’s important to take the comfort of your family and friends into consideration, ultimately it’s your wedding and you should choose whatever venue, indoor or outdoor, will be the most special for you. If you have your heart set on a stunning outdoor setting for your marriage ceremony, like a snow covered mountaintop at sunset, consider having a private ceremony and joining friends and family at a large indoor reception.


Why choose an indoor winter wedding?

Well, besides the obvious reasons that it won’t be cold and snowy or cold and wet, an indoor wedding can be the best way to set the mood for your wedding. Family and friends are more likely to attend a winter wedding if it’s indoors. Indoor weddings make it easier to keep your dress clean. If you have many friends and family attending the marriage ceremony, a large indoor venue is more likely to have the space needed to hold them all comfortably. If you want your marriage ceremony to be early in the morning, in the early evening or at night then having it indoors is much more practical than having it outdoors, especially in the winter when it doesn’t get light until late in the morning and gets dark as early as 4 PM.


If you really want the feeling of outdoors but don’t want to take the risk of bad weather there is a solution.

Choose a venue that brings the outdoors in, like a lush botanical garden, Victorian greenhouse, the atrium at the zoo or the art museum, or other space that has a tropical outdoor feeling with lots of windows so guests can watch the snow fall from the middle of a gorgeous garden. Spaces like that are very popular for winter weddings so if you want to choose a venue that combines the beauty of outdoors with the warmth of indoors be sure to book it early!
