Winter is a magical time. and not only for the beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, winter weddings tend to be overlooked, and we can’t understand why! At Complete, we love working with brides and grooms to make their winter wedding as magical as possible.
Winter Wonderland Wedding
If you are looking for those ‘Winter Wonderland’ pictures, you will want to plan your wedding between November and March. December is actually the month that Spokane gets the most snow – an average of 4.3 inches. With that being said, be flexible on a wedding date and plan ahead. Planning a winter wedding definitely has its advantages, but with holidays right around the corner, some guests may not be able to attend.
Indoor & Outdoor Photos
Though the scenery is incredible, not every photo needs to be taken outside. Of course, outdoor pictures will be gorgeous; you’ll have a naturally rosy nose & cheeks throughout most of your pictures. Plan with your Spokane wedding photographer to take pictures at a couple of indoor locations. Winter weddings are absolutely elegant, and that will show in the photos whether it be inside or outside. However, you can never go wrong by staying warm and taking indoor photos.
Cost of Winter Weddings
If you were planning on getting married in the winter, it is often much cheaper. Unless you are planning on getting married in December, then you’ll be competing with company holiday parties, and other non-wedding events for those desired dates. Often bringing the price of a wedding venue to the average cost during wedding season. Winter is the “slow season” for wedding vendors, so they typically drop their prices!
Winter Wedding Guest Considerations
Lastly, think about your guests. Wintertime is so cold here in Spokane, WA. Instead of planning your winter wedding around how you want it to look, plan it how you want it to feel. Making your bridesmaids wear heels will look beautiful, but is it safe?
Add warmth to your special day by offering guests coffee, hot chocolate, or cider. This fun winter wedding idea will keep your guests warm, helping them celebrate your big day longer. If everyone is cold and wet, the chances of them leaving before the reception ends are much greater.
