While a June wedding would be considered very traditional, many weddings in fact are held in the wintertime.  We spoke to some of the busiest Wedding Planners in the greater Philadelphia, PA area and they shared with us some insights into how best to prepare for a winter wedding. 

One theme that came up often was the venue.  Thinking about the venues you choose for your winter wedding are as important as what you wear.  Here are some tips our Wedding Planners say could make all the difference in making your winter wedding perfect.

1. Extra Travel Time

Bad weather means bad traffic, so give extra time for travel to your ceremony, no matter how near or far you are going.

2. Have Just One Venue

If possible, have your ceremony & reception in the one venue, or venues very near to each other. This will make transport easier in case of bad weather.

3. Add Romance With Candles

It will be dark quite early. Embrace it with lots of romantic candle light in both your ceremony and reception space.

4. Winter Wedding Colors

Decorate in rich, warm tones of berry red, burgundy, black and gold. Add extra wintry romance with lots of natural greenery, or even a hint of tartan.

5. Coat Check

Make sure someone is in charge of taking coats at your reception and making sure they’re kept safe.

6. Keep Guests Warm

Consider making an effort to ensure your guests are kept warm and cheery once they arrive. A hot drink on arrival is a nice and simple idea.

7. Wintry Wedding Favors

Choose winter wedding favors. Blankets or pashminas, sparklers, cookies, mulled wine spices, candy canes or little bottles of Baileys are all cute and doable winter wedding favor options.

8. Winter Cake Toppers

For a subtle winter wedding touch get yourself a cute winter cake topper. For some ideas have a look at our Simple and Inexpensive Winter Wedding Decor Ideas post.

9. Venue Décor Check

Check if your venue has Christmas decorations in the room where your wedding will be. Have they photographs of them from last year? Is it ok for them to take these down if they’re not to your taste?
