While these white weddings can be quite fun and entertaining for the couple, they also should take care of a few things while planning for one. Here are a few factors that the couples need to remember if they are planning for a white or winter wedding:
Plan ahead
Exchanging the vows in the middle of the snow is definitely romantic and unforgettable but it can be messy as well if you don’t make the plans carefully. For example, an unexpected snowfall can mar your journey to the church and even your decorations. Tickets have to be available for the couple and the guests. Hotel rooms have to be booked, chapel or church has to be available and so on. All these factors need to be taken into account while planning for a white wedding. In other words, a white wedding cannot be a last-minute plan that can be executed easily. And for the sake of safety, have a plan B ready.
Consider the guests
Your guests have to be informed of the wedding and the venue long before the wedding so that they can also make their plans accordingly. It is your responsibility to inform them your plans regarding their travel and accommodation, that is, you need to indicate clearly whether you are paying for their expenses or you intend them to take care of themselves. Even after the ceremony, you need to ensure they are well taken care of until they leave the venue.
Ensure the comfort
Venues for white weddings are always cold and chilly. Hence, you need to ensure that you have packed all the woolen clothes and other accessories necessary to keep you warm. Even after reaching the venue, make sure that your room, as well as the rooms for the guests, have proper heaters ready. Check the menu and make sure that it contains items, in adequate quantity, that can warm the body. Even the items for entertainment have to be comfortable and safe.
If planned and executed well, a white wedding can be a very exciting and unforgettable experience for you and for your family and friends who accompany you. The best way to have a perfect white wedding is to entrust the whole function with a professional wedding specialist. Not only do they have necessary information about these places that can help you to a great extent but also experience in conducting several weddings in these icy countries. Some amount of research online can help you find a reliable company that can arrange your wedding just the way you want. It is the extra effort, but no effort is extra when it comes to your wedding, isn’t it?
