Winter weddings are becoming increasingly popular for couples. Straying from the norm and embracing the winter can provide some perks that the spring and summer simply cannot. Sure they\u2019re warm and toasty, but the winter brings along with it that extra touch of magic, not to mention savings.<\/p>\n
So if you haven\u2019t given winter a chance to be your backdrop during the big day, here are five reasons why we love winter weddings in Ottawa and why you might just, too.<\/p>\n
Okay, so maybe Billy Idol won\u2019t be among your wedding songs, but he hit the mark with those lyrics. There\u2019s something that\u2019s magical when you have a winter wonderland as the backdrop to your wedding day. The beauty of those sparkling snowflakes, the twinkling lights, and dusted trees all work together towards creating a fantasy setting that\u2019s just hard to beat during the springtime and summer.<\/p>\n
Of course, during the wintertime as the sun begins to set earlier, that can only mean one thing \u2013 the party and celebrations can start earlier too! Whether it\u2019s the ceremony or the after party, you can embrace the darker evenings by lighting up the night with lights, and lanterns, and getting the evening off to a perfect start.<\/p>\n
One of the most attractive features of throwing a winter wedding is the fact that you can make your money go a lot further. Since the winter isn\u2019t as busy as the summer and spring, it gives you much more wiggle room for keeping your budget low and stretching your money further.<\/p>\n
And since the competition is lower that means you get to have much more selection available to you. So whether it\u2019s the venue, caterer, or DJ, you can bet there will be much less hassle obtaining and booking what you want.<\/p>\n
If you choose to have your wedding around the holiday season, chances are it will actually work in favour of your guests\u2019 schedules. Since many people receive time off during the holidays, throwing your big day around then can also help accommodate them by allowing them to take advantage of that time off.<\/p>\n
So if you have yet to consider throwing your wedding in the winter, maybe it\u2019s time you really gave it some thought. The advantages of it really outweigh any negative potentials. Between the winter wonderland setting, the budget savings and bargaining chips that are in your favour \u2013 it\u2019s not hard to see why we absolutely love winter weddings, and why you should too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
