Winter wedding is a concept where you can play with decorations - glitter, artificial snowballs indoors, decorated Christmas trees instead of the altar. It's a time when you can accessorize your outfits with cute knits, personalized snow boots, and more. So many ideas and executions can be experienced at a winter wedding , you can definitely go outside the box and make the day memorable for everyone.

Benefits of getting married in winter:

• preparing for and organizing a wedding can be done very quickly and without stress;
• availability of celebration places and adaptation regarding entry times (which is important for the decorator), as well as extension of departure day;
• availability of service providers (in addition, the service provider will be rested and full of energy to work);
• happy host of the evening, because nothing is better than all the guests in one place (in the summer they disperse around the territory and extra time must be spent so that everyone is back in the main hall and the celebration continues);

• will definitely cost more in the finals, because you can definitely get it for a better price in the off-season;
• almost all the guests you invite will come, because in winter people go on vacations less often, there are no festivals;
• you may experience a beautiful snow-white day, which will perfectly complement your photo session and the landscape outside the window;
• non-standard solutions regarding decorations - rent Christmas trees, rent artificial snow blowers and snow cones - create your own magical holiday feeling;
• focus on the candles, give up the flowers. Flowers make up a large part of the costs and, unfortunately, they will not make you happy long after the wedding, but you will be able to burn candles for a long time;
• you will experience a pleasant time of organization, because everything will really go more calmly and enjoyably;
• you will be able to enjoy your honeymoon in a warm and romantic destination immediately after the wedding.

P.S. Perhaps you will be lucky in one more of the positions - decorations, because celebration places tend to decorate rooms for the holidays and there is a chance that you will be attracted to it and in this way you will save money.

What to consider when organizing a wedding in winter:

• although the wedding can easily be organized within a month, you must remember to go to the registry office in time to apply for the wedding date;
• be prepared to experience a cold, wet and rainy wedding day, because that's unfortunately a classic winter
• in Latvia;
• remember that the period of corporate events (December-January) is quite a busy time, especially for celebration venues in Riga, caterers, evening leaders and musicians, so they should be booked in time;
• if you want to organize the ceremony outside, be sure to include the following information in the invitation, so that the guests can get a warmer festive outfit for the moment;
• be sure to think about a warm welcome drink for guests arriving at the ceremony or celebration site;
• it should be taken into account that on a snowy or cold winter day, you will need to allow more time for the arrival of guests or extra time for the couple after the photo session, so that you can leisurely leave your outerwear, put on your shoes and fix your hair and powder your face for the ladies.

A wedding in winter - a challenge worth taking on

Winter weddings are for the brave, for those who are not afraid of a sharp gust of wind or a sudden snowfall. But this courage definitely pays off - weddings in winter are especially warm and heart-warming. If you imagine your wedding in a cozy and family atmosphere, then winter is definitely the right time.

You can choose different themes and moods for a winter wedding - an intimate gathering in the living room by the fireplace; sparkling New Year's Eve celebrations; a celebration in a cozy lodge in a snow-covered landscape or a fabulous wedding in a luxurious manor. Also, if raindrops fall outside the window instead of snow on the wedding night, it will only enhance the feeling that your celebration is like a warm and loving island in the winter wonderland.
