Questions to ask your vendor

What to ask before you book

  1. 1.Do you source wild or locally foraged botanicals — pampas grass, dried grasses, wildflowers?
  2. 2.Can you build or supply a macramé ceremony backdrop, or do you work with a textile specialist?
  3. 3.What does your outdoor audio setup look like for an open-field ceremony without reliable power nearby?
  4. 4.Are rattan furniture and vintage-style rentals part of your inventory, or do you partner with a rental company?
  5. 5.How do you handle weather contingency planning for fully open-air boho ceremonies?

Color palette

Florals

  • Rust-toned dahlias and marigolds
  • Orange and copper chrysanthemums
  • Dried amaranth and wheat
  • Terracotta-toned dried botanicals

Decor & linens

  • Terracotta clay pots and vessels
  • Rust and amber candles
  • Natural linen with earthy runners
  • Wooden and rattan elements throughout
Terracotta is rich and earthy — pair with sage, cream, dusty rose, and warm white. Gold accents add depth. Avoid cool blues or purples — they fight the warmth.

Season planning

winter wedding tips

  • Lean into the season: candles, fire features, velvet, and warm textures create unmatched winter ambiance
  • Winter venues are often more available and more affordable — leverage this for upgrades elsewhere
  • Guests appreciate covered walkways or indoor ceremony and reception spaces in colder climates
  • Shorter daylight hours mean portraits need to happen early — plan a first look before the ceremony
Golden hourGolden hour in winter can arrive as early as 3–4pm — plan your ceremony to end by 3pm for outdoor portrait light.

Things to consider

  • ·Confirm weather contingency plans with all vendors well in advance
  • ·Travel logistics: allow extra time for guests traveling in winter conditions
  • ·Heaters, fire pits, and warm cocktails make outdoor winter elements magical rather than uncomfortable
