Winter Wedding Tips

Make sure to have a signature drink or food item that relates to the holiday feel, it will give your wedding a little extra holiday cheer! 

• Egg Nog Martinis
• Cranberry Spritzers
• Pomegranate Splashed Champagne
• Wreath Shaped Spinach Pastries
• Holiday Cookie & Cocoa Bar

You could also consider having mini stockings stuffed with mints or other goodies as your wedding favors!

Give major heads up to your guests 

A lot of people plan trips or even just have other family plans around the holidays so beware of the possible low amount of RSVP’s 

Everything might be a little pricier around this time of year, so remember to take this into consideration when booking your venue, and solidifying hotel blocks

 This is also vacation season, meaning hotels, airfare, etc. Will be at an all-time high. 

Holiday weddings should be black tie events

Make it more formal, gives it a special part of your day and gives everyone to dress up for a big fun event! 

If you’re planning a NYE Wedding, be sure to host until at least 12:30am

This way you can celebrate the new year with not only a new spouse but all your family and friends as well. 

Make your décor celebrate the holiday but also you 

Including sparklers, some fake snow, and even some holiday colors!
