Fall is the wedding season in Tulsa with the weather being a little bit cooler and the leaves falling it is the most popular time to get married. But there is just something about a winter wonderland wedding. There is snow on the ground, drinking hot chocolate next to the fireplace, and spending time together with family. So, if you are someone that wants to make your Tulsa winter wonderland wedding come true, here are some tips to help you plan the perfect wedding day!
Booking a Winter Wedding Venue
Booking your venue is one of the first things that you do when planning a wedding. If you are wanting to get married around the holidays keep the weather in mind. You still can do an outdoor venue as well by getting heaters for the area to make sure your guests can be comfortable and enjoy your special day.
No matter what type of venue you choose there are so many ways to be creative with the space you are given. Using beautiful greenery centerpieces, a snowflake arch, or even maybe some fake snow laid down there are tons of different ways you can make your venue into the perfect winter wonderland. Decorating the venue for the winter wonderland is how you can transform it.
If you like real trees think about going to a local tree farm and seeing how many you can get in your budget. Fake trees are also a great option and a little less expensive. You can also get twinkle lights to hang around the venue. As well as some garland to really give the feeling of the holidays. A couple of venues that are great for this are The Springs and The Legacy at MK Ranch.
Travel + Hotel Accommodations
When planning a wedding around the holidays you want to make sure to book things as soon as possible. Hotels, flights, and rental cars are usually in high demand so you want to make sure to plan accordingly when you are planning so that your guests can make all the proper arrangements.
Winter Wedding Pictures
Keep in mind that at this time of year the sun goes down earlier. So, think about picking an earlier start time so you can get all the beautiful sunlight pictures you want. Talk with your Tulsa wedding photographer in advance about the timing of sunset so you can keep that in mind when planning out the entire day.
Food and Drink
With it being the holiday season, you might want to think about serving something that is more themed. If your family has a holiday tradition you could incorporate that into your special day as a way for you and your family to reminisce about all the special times you have shared around the holidays. Consider serving hot chocolate to warm all of your guests!
