During the winter season, you and your wedding party can cozy up by the crackling fire, get whisked away in horse- drawn carriages, sip on cocktails at local ice bars, and set your imagination adrift with snowflakes and ice castles! There is never a shortage of winter wonderland fun, white peaks, and romantic snowy scenes.
Here are a few reasons from #meetlakegeorge why winter weddings are a win!
-
Less stress about weather!...Yes, you heard us right! Most winter weddings are held indoors - so, you get to worry less about seasonal fluctuations, rainy ceremonies, or your guests melting in the sun! Aside from picturesque snowy shots - you have less concern for temperamental temperatures!
-
More venue dates and better rates! Peak season rates and hotel blocks are much less of an issue during those "off season" months. You will have much more flexibility on dates and options.
-
Free Decor! Snow and icicles in the Adirondacks of Upstate NY is pretty much a guarantee during the winter months! Use these beautiful natural embellishments to make your wedding shine!
-
Excited and refreshed guests! Summer and fall seasons are always packed with plans, travel, vacations, and...weddings! Give your guests something to look forward to with a winter gathering to celebrate your lifetime commitment.
