In planning your wedding, timing is everything. When you and your future spouse make the big decision as to when, it is a good idea to pick several dates and go from there. The reason behind this is that if you have the wedding in one place and the reception in another, which you will probably have to do, you will need to book both places for the same day. This is sometimes nearly impossible to do, especially if you only have one date
Winter Wedding Themes
Winter wedding themes can be exquisite and magical if you’re planning a winter wedding between the months of December and January. You can create a winter wedding wonderland with some imagination and help from Mother Nature herself to make your wedding every bit the fairy tale wedding dream come true.
Winter Venues
Charming inns or historic mansions with large fireplaces are perfect for either small or large affairs. Look for places that have large fireplaces where you can walk to and exchange your vows.
Or maybe you know of a beautiful country church with a wonderland setting among trees and winter flowers. Just make sure that if it’s quite an old church building that it’s still equipped with a good heating system and not too awfully drafty.
