Winter weddings can be truly magical, but due to the darker months and weather risks, there can be some inevitable issues when it comes to celebrating your special day. To help you prepare beforehand, The Wedding Team at Delamere Manor have gathered some top tips to help ensure your winter celebrations run smoothly…
-
Invest in Winter Fabrics and Accessories for the Wedding Party
From velvet suits to faux-fur stoles, your wedding party will be grateful for these warmer fabric choices. Don’t forget to include thick hosiery for the bridesmaids and stylish winter footwear too!
-
Extra Travel Time
With bad weather comes bad traffic so allow extra time for travel to the ceremony and reception for you and your guests.
-
Book One Venue Instead of Two
Many couples like to book two separate venues for the ceremony and reception, however, if you’re planning a winter nuptial, we recommend booking a venue that can cater to both celebrations. Here at Delamere Manor, we offer a number of stunning venues which are perfect for your winter wedding. Find out more via the tabs on our website.
-
Make Sure to include an Umbrella Rack
Nice umbrellas make great accessories for the wedding photography at winter weddings, but make sure you have somewhere to store the umbrellas too!
-
Coat Check-In
Having coats hung on the back of seats at the wedding reception does not create a beautiful aesthetic for the wedding photos. Provide guests with a coat check-in and make sure a member of staff is available to keep all belongings safe throughout the day.
-
Don’t Forget to Prep your Skin
Dry skin is inevitable when it comes to the winter months, so make sure your skin is prepped with moisturiser for your big day and have a chapstick to hand throughout the celebrations.
-
Take your Vitamins
Nobody wants to be sneezing on their big day! Make sure you take your vitamins on the run-up to your celebrations. We recommend Vitamin C and Vitamin D.
