While late spring to early fall is usually the most popular window for couples to tie the knot, there’s something so magical about saying “I do” in the winter. Snowy scenery, crackling fireplaces, and twinkling lights paint the dreamiest backdrop for couples’ wedding celebrations. With the cold weather, engaged duos can lean into the coziness of the season, creating an ambiance that’s warm, inviting, and romantic. Besides the aesthetic benefits, there are so many practical reasons to consider the winter season for your nuptials: Since December, January, and February are considered the off season, you’ll likely receive discounted prices and experience reduced competition for guests’ attendance.
One of our favorite reasons to tie the knot in the winter? The season provides plenty of options for your wedding color palette. While red and green are always classic combinations for winter nuptials, you can take a more nontraditional approach that’s still on theme by incorporating multiple shades of red, from crimson to burgundy, or pairing green with a sharp black to reinforce the moodiness of winter.
