Planning a winter wedding? Below, are Vogue's expert thoughts on wedding planning:
Send out save-the-dates in advance: The winter months can get busy with holiday festivities, so give your guests the best opportunity of attending by planning ahead.
Plan for shorter days: “The sun sets the earliest in the winter,” says Cole. “You may want to consider an earlier wedding ceremony time if you want daylight photos or plan for a first look.”
Set a cold-weather-appropriate dress code: In colder climates, be flexible with the dress code for your winter wedding guests and bridesmaids.
Ensure your guests stay warm: Never underestimate the winter weather. “You’ll want and need more heaters should any portion of your event be outside,” says Frischkorn.
Frischkorn adds, “We are big fans of offering hand warmers on a tray and warm blankets on the back of ceremony chairs should the ceremony be outside.” Cole and Dorman also recommend complimentary shawls and fire pits, which keep your guests warm and add to your winter wonderland wedding aesthetic.
Offer hot welcome drinks and cocktails.
