1. Appropriate attire
Silk dresses and light suits are beautiful for spring and summer weddings but they are not particularly appropriate for winter weddings. You don’t have to drown in heavy fabrics to compensate for the weather just make sure you layer up for warmth. Plus, that way you’ll be able to remove a few layers once the party has begun!

2. Appropriate flowers
Daisies and sunflowers may look lovely at a spring or summer weddings but they are not appropriate for winter weddings. Choose a seasonal bouquet to carry and decorate your venue, such as succulents and evergreens, to remain in keeping with the season.

3. Appropriate temperature
It is essential to keep your guests warm throughout your ceremony and reception. While a chilly draft may be seasonal, your guests aren’t going to enjoy themselves if they can’t feel their fingers. Either make sure your venue is easy enough to heat or that your guests arrive armed with coats and gloves!

4. Appropriate venue
Not only does the venue have to shelter your guests from the elements, it also has to be appropriate to the season. Think about the access route to the venue; a dirt track is likely to be inaccessible in the heart of winter. Consider all aspects of your wedding venue and ensure they’re appropriate for the season and the day.

5. Appropriate photographer
As most weddings take place in spring and summer most generic wedding shots are tailored towards soft, warm lighting. The lighting is likely to be much cooler and sparser for your wedding so ensure that your photographer is experienced enough to capture the essence of your beautiful, winter wedding day.

6. Appropriate food
Salads and light meals are often essential to spring and summer weddings but winter weddings are a completely different story. You and your guests will want something warm and filling to ward off the cold once you reach the wedding breakfast; think soups, warm mains and hearty puddings to fill you and your guests.

7. Appropriate decor
Unless you are planning to completely defy the season with a beach themed wedding the decor should be appropriate to the season. Consider items and colours which are associated with the season, such as reds or blues, holly or snowflakes, and go from there. You could carry this theme through to the dresses, suits and even food if you like!

8. Appropriate confection
Sweet stalls are becoming more and more popular at weddings, but why not remain in keeping with the season? Hot chocolate stalls are becoming a popular addition to winter weddings, as well marshmallow melting stations to entertain and warm your guests!

9. Appropriate entertainment
Spring and summer weddings are often able to make use of an outdoor area for their wedding breakfast or entertainment but a winter wedding doesn’t usually have this option. Instead, ensure that your entertainment is appropriate to the season and is able to take place indoors while still wowing your guests.

10. Appropriate preparations
There are so many elements to consider for any wedding but even more so for a winter wedding. Not only do you have to consider the happiness of you are your guests but also potential extreme weather on top of that. Ensure you and your guests are prepared with umbrellas and sensible shoes just in case the weather takes a turn for the worse. It’s better to be prepared than to be sorry later!
