Questions to ask your vendor
What to ask before you book
- 1.Do you have experience working within formal garden or estate venue restrictions on drilling, staking, or attaching to structures?
- 2.Which seasonal blooms will be at peak in my wedding month — and what's your recommended alternative if my first choice isn't available?
- 3.Can you design and install a hanging floral chandelier or overhead installation, and what rigging does the venue need to support it?
- 4.What's your contingency if wind disrupts the floral arch or aisle arrangements on the day?
- 5.Have you worked with this venue before — do you know where the hidden angles and best photo spots are?
Color palette
navy palette
Florals
- —Deep blue hydrangeas and delphiniums
- —Dark irises or anemones
- —Navy ribbon tied around white blooms
- —Deep purple-blue clematis
Decor & linens
- —Navy velvet linens
- —Gold flatware and candlesticks
- —White and gold table settings
- —Navy ribbon tied at chairs or centerpieces
Navy is bold — anchor it with crisp white and warm gold. Avoid pairing with black (too formal) or red (too patriotic). Champagne softens it perfectly.
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
