There is no denying that there is something magical about winter weddings\u2026..From the crisp day-time blue skies that transform into huddling around a fire place as the mist settles outside\u2026.. it\u2019s practically picture perfect. But if you\u2019re planning a winter wedding, we suggest you review the tips given to us by Granny Mouse Country House & Spa Banqueting Manager, Veronica Sookdin, if winter is your chosen season.<\/p>\n

According to Sookdin, \u201c When planning a winter wedding there are a few inevitable issues that can creep into your day, but if you plan accordingly, and make the necessary preparation, your wedding will be one your friends, and family will never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s look at her tips:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Invest in winter accessories<\/em>: Whether it\u2019s for you personally, your bridesmaids or even the groomsmen, keeping everyone warm, not only makes sense, but winter accessories can be amazing props when capturing your special day. Options include a long sleeve wedding dress, faux fur wraps, capes\u00a0or some chic cardigans. It will provide you with warmth, and a glowing elegance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Keep your guests warm: <\/em>Instead of serving the usual champagne-based drinks while you\u2019re having your photo\u2019s done, look to keep your guests warm, through a fun hot chocolate and marshmallow station, or offer some mulled wine or a hot toddy. If your venue doesn\u2019t have a fire place, add some blankets and heaters to your venue, making it more inviting for your guests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. It\u2019s all about the light:<\/em> During winter, it gets dark much earlier, so make sure you\u2019ve chatted to your photographer, and adjusted your timelines to ensure you have the perfect lighting to capture your images.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Winter-Inspired Wedding favours:<\/em> We all know how quickly wedding costs can escalate so, one fun thing about winter wedding favours, is that you can save some costs. Simply fill small jars with marshmallows, or offer hot chocolate sachets or candy canes as something fun. If you want to go a little more fancy, use scented candles or a mug with your wedding date and a fun quote<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Add a pop of colour:<\/em> Just because you are getting married in winter, don\u2019t gravitate towards, whites, silvers or dark hues. Add pops of colour to your d\u00e9cor, or if you want to be bold, have your bridesmaids in bright colours. This will add spectacular dimensions to your wedding pics and will brighten the room, when the weather outside turns dreary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
