10 Tips for a snowy, winter wedding | Kelsey Booth

Is your dream to get married in a winter wonderland? Here are a few tips to make it perfect!

Go with the weather!

Winter brings in all sorts of weather from powder days to bright sunny days. Sometimes that means the views go out of range, but you have a snowy backdrop.

Regardless of what the weather may bring, Colorado doesn’t disappoint!

Incorporate an activity you love.

Want to take a few laps with your partner after you get married? Schedule it in! Consider getting married at a ski resort like Copper Mountain.

Mulled wine by the fire?

An amazing dinner or breakfast? Make time for what you love!

Dress warm.

The obvious. Layers on layers.

Winter boots, long johns under layers, hand warmers, foot warmers, heated gloves.

It will typically snow in the mountains October-May so be sure to plan accordingly.

Have an earlier ceremony time.

Winter brings early sunsets so be sure to Google what time the sunset will be.

This can affect pictures and dinner start times with the sun sets before 5PM.

Plan for travel.

Give yourself a little wiggle room just in case there’s wild weather.

Is there a drive from your ceremony to the reception? Are people driving from out of state?

Heaters & Blankets!

How can you make it a better experience for your guests? Also a basket with hand warmers or maybe a bar with hot drinks.

Find seasonal flowers!

Greenery or dried florals will help with the cost of florals during the winter season! Or consider muffs in lieu of bridal bouquets.

Capitalize on the holidays or do the opposite!

Always dreamed of a Christmas wedding with the holiday lights around town? It makes the perfect backdrop! Consider your guests and guest count. Holidays may be busier and more expensive for all of your guests.
