Before we talk about Unique Winter Venues in Edmonton, let’s talk about winter weddings. A lot of couples plan for spring, summer or fall weddings. Living in Alberta means there are more winter months compared to other seasons. Most important is that winter weddings are beautiful. Even though it’s cold to be outside, they are our absolute favourites.
Why Winter is the best time to get married?
There are many perks to having a winter wedding.
- Firstly, it is not a busy season. Vendors are more relaxed.
- Second, your favourite venue or vendor might still be available for the date you choose. So you can have your wedding ceremony and Reception at popular wedding venues.
- Lastly, accommodation and travel costs are at an all-time low in Winter. The most important one is that winter wedding portraits are gorgeous. For example, you can dress up in fur, add colours and textures to your wedding decor, have fun in the snow for wedding portraits and the list goes on. If you are planning to get married in Winter and looking for unique winter venues in Edmonton, Alberta that are not a Banquet hall, you are in the right place.
How to prepare for a Winter Wedding?
- Choose a venue and wedding portrait location that is easy to get to. For portraits, we will recommend a place that is not more than a minute’s walk from the parking lot. This will help you run back to the car to warm up if needed.
- Dress in layers under your wedding dress or suit. We will recommend the same for your wedding party and guests.
- In addition, pair your dress with a nice shawl or fur coat to keep you warm.
- Equally important is planning a space for guests to hang winter jackets.
- Pack an extra pair of socks just in case the one you are wearing gets wet.
- Include instructions on winter wedding attire for your guests so they are dressed appropriately.
- Pack some hot chocolate so you can keep yourselves, your wedding party and your guests warm during the photo session. You can also add a hot chocolate bar, which is always a bit hit for your wedding reception.
