Thanks everyone!

I think it's really exciting that I can look at some places that were too expensive for me when I wanted a wedding next September because some are such a bargain in the winter! I think it's worth having a place I realllly like.

Re: Sorry to Start Another Thread but Opinions On Winter Weddings?

I'm getting married at the end of March. We could have a blizzard. Or it could be 65 degrees and sunny. We're ready for anything.

But you never know what you're going to get with the weather at any time of year. Remember that it rained practically every weekend from mid-May through June of this year! Those poor brides thought they would have beautiful summer days.
You just never know.

Definite bonus--reception places and catering halls absolutely offer discounts from after NY's Eve until mid-April.

Relax, it is definately worth it. I am having my wedding on Feb 7, 2004 and I can't wait. The winter is such a cozy beautiful time of the year. We picked the winter and then went looking for halls and could not believe the price difference. So I totally felt like I made out in two ways....a winter wedding and a good deal. Don't stress it will be a great time of year.

hey! i'm getting married in january and i'm a bit nervous but excited. mabe it will be a bit snowy or mabe we will have a warm front and it will be 50 that day. (yeah right )
we had to book in the winter because my fiance has a landscaping business and is to busy in the summer.
we did get a good rate because of the time of year.
good luck!

IM getting married Feb 6 and Im looking forward to my winter wedding!

I got married 1/31. It was a pretty good day- not too cold and not really raining or snowing. We had a lot of out of town guests and they had no problem travelling.

I didn't want to pay the extra $$$ for a May or June date when there was no guarantee that the weather would be perfect on those days. Also- I really liked the idea of it being dark because when I think of a formal, black tie affair I always think the sun should be down.

Re: Sorry to Start Another Thread but Opinions On Winter Weddings?

Had mine in January! No complaints here!!! My whole theme was winter wonderland with snowflakes and icicles! And we still went outside and took beach shots!!!

Winter weddings are beautiful!! Obviously, the only thing to be wary of is a blizzard, but in Decembr or January you should be okay!

Re: Sorry to Start Another Thread but Opinions On Winter Weddings?

The rest I'm unable to post, fm for more!

Re: Sorry to Start Another Thread but Opinions On Winter Weddings?

I can't wait to have my winter wonderland wedding!!

But I didn't know prices were cheaper in teh winter.
Everything I have booked so far has been the same price.!

Re: Sorry to Start Another Thread but Opinions On Winter Weddings?

I would have loved to get married in February, but since I am an accountant a wedding from jan - April is out of the question.

Re: Sorry to Start Another Thread but Opinions On Winter Weddings?

Janatlantica..your pictures are AMAZING!!!!! they are so nice..I would love to see more!!! VERY NICE!!!

Re: Sorry to Start Another Thread but Opinions On Winter Weddings?

I got married at the end of March which is the beginning of spring. I wasn't too nervous about the weather b/c there is nothing you can do. It was about 60-65 degrees that day but a bit windy. The sun came out from the time I left my house till the end of the church. On the way to the reception site it started to pour and continued through the whole night but I didn't even notice the rain. I was too happy and having a great time at my reception.

Re: Sorry to Start Another Thread but Opinions On Winter Weddings?

Those are beautiful pictures!

Now I'm bummed because my friend pointed out then I might not be able to get a strapless or spaghett-strap dress like I wanted because it's not going to go with winter. What month is it still okay to wear those types of dresses?

Re: Sorry to Start Another Thread but Opinions On Winter Weddings?

I am def having a strapless dress..

U are getting married indoors where there is heat!
