Although the summer months are the most popular time for weddings, the winter months have much to offer. If you love a cosy setting, rich opulent fabrics, and winter colours, then a winter wedding and reception could be right for you. You can serve warming and filling cuisine to your guests on the day.
The majority of Melbourne couples prefer to tie-the-knot, during the summer months. The winter is the most unpopular time of the year, to get married. The harsh weather conditions, lead to a feeling of unpredictability, and uncertainty. In truth, there are several extremely good reasons for planning a winter wedding.
What Makes Winter Weddings So Special?
A Cosy Setting
A snug and cosy location complete with roaring fires and comfortable seating are the perfect setting for a winter wedding reception. Choose a venue offering both warmth and luxury. While you are looking around for wedding venues, think about how the view will look from the reception area, during the winter months. Consider the likelihood of an enchanting, snow covered landscape. It is true; you won’t be able to predict snow for the occasion. However, it is still worth investigating how the grounds will look during this season.
Warm and Dramatic Bridal Fabrics
If you are a huge fan of luxurious and warm fabrics, then a winter wedding is a perfect opportunity to wear them. Velvet and silk are big favourites, while furs add a touch of sophistication, and a seasonal chic. A long- sleeved gown is a comfortable choice. If this style is not for you, a beautiful wrap will keep the chill off your shoulders. Ideal if you are wearing an off-the-shoulder or bodice dress. Long gloves are a romantic and stylish addition.
Winter Themes: Ice and Snow
Developing a wintery theme is a lot of fun. Think about adding colours to your decor such as opulent reds and gold. Alternatively, silver and blue will add a touch of icy sparkle. Stationary motifs with snowflakes, for example, make pretty decorations for your invitations and place settings. One idea for a wintery decoration is to hire an artist who sculpts the ice. Allow them to make a beautiful sculpture for your special day.
A Rich, Hearty Menu
Winter wedding reception menus often offer rich, hearty, and filling dishes. Traditional classics are ideal to serve on a cold day. Warming soup starters are an excellent choice, followed by roasted meats and fresh vegetables. You can even offer your guests mulled wine instead of cocktails. If there will be children present during the celebrations, consider serving some hot chocolate.
A Prestigious Venue
Competition between wedding venues in Melbourne ensures that prices remain competitive within the area. Ascot House is a premier Wedding Reception Venues. Expert management help to plan all the finer details, to make your wedding day something to remember.
