How To Plan an Outdoor Wedding in Winter

Winter weddings are a great option for a number of reasons, especially for couples with smaller budgets. Getting married out of wedding season means you’ll have less competition for your dream date and lower rates for all your vendors. Not to mention, the snowy scenery is absolutely stunning.

If you have your heart set on an outdoor wedding, don’t fret. There are plenty of ways to ensure your guests stay warm. Here’s how to plan an outdoor wedding in winter.

Choose Your Location

Just like with any wedding, your first step is to choose your venue. In addition, consider this: do you want your entire event to be outdoors or just the ceremony? If your reception is indoors, you’ll have less work to do to ensure your guests stay warm.

Choose your ceremony location next. Many venues offer a few options—you’ll want to make your choice based on the views and scenery. Keep in mind any flowers will be dead, so don’t factor them into your decisions. Instead, choose an area with elements that will look lovely with a little snow, such as evergreen trees or mountains in the distance.

Plan Your Reception Space

If you decide to do the reception outdoors, you’ll have more planning involved. An essential item to add to the budget is a party tent with sidewalls—these tents will trap more heat, making them perfect for winter weather. Here’s what to know if you’re unsure about renting a party tent.

Adding heaters and fans within the space can also help circulate the warmth around the reception area. Adding a temporary floor is a great way to prevent cold from seeping in from the ground—plus, it makes dancing easier!

Finally, offering hot beverages or alcohol can work wonders when it comes to warming people up. A coffee or cider station is a classy way to provide hot drinks.

Let Your Guests Know

Just like with any outdoor wedding, let them know so they can plan accordingly. Footwear should be warm and able to walk in the grass without issue. Incorporating formal coats is also a great way to ensure they’ll look nice and stay warm the entire evening.

There are many benefits to planning a winter wedding that you’re sure to love! With these tips for planning an outdoor winter wedding, your event is sure to be a hit.
