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
