Yes, we know Summer is the traditional Wedding season. But before you go for the obvious summer wedding, we'd like to suggest you consider two months that actually have a lot going for them: December and February. 

First of all: why consider the Winter season at all? Here are some great reasons why: 

1. There's no mystery about where you'll spend most of your time on the wedding day. When it's a summer wedding you can have a lot of anxiety around what the weather will hold. Photos inside or out? Should you risks drinks in the garden? When it's a winter wedding you can plan for most things to happen inside which takes away that weather forecast obsession in the run up to the big day. 

2. You can plan for a glamorous coat or faux fur cover up because you know you'll need it. See point 1: it takes away the reliance on good weather so you can relax on the day. 

3. Is it a problem that the nights are longer and the days are shorter? Heck no! In one word: sparkly. Twinkly fairy lights and candles always create a gorgeous atmosphere, without too much cost, and in the winter you can really go to town. 

4. Cheaper, more accessible venues. Its not uncommon to wait years for a venue you love to be available in the summer months. You'll find the place of your dreams much more readily available in the winter. 

So now you've been sold on the winter idea, let's explore the options. In our opinion, January is just too depressing. Everyone is short of money after Christmas and are partied out, so it would take quite a special gig to get everyone in the mood to celebrate. 

So really, your choices are December and February.

December:

Seasonal flowers and decor already. Most venues will have floral arrangements already in place. If not you can use greenery and pine cone place card holders 

Ride the party spirit 

February: 

Valentines

Lift the spirits

Hen night  in December (Supergirls or Killer Queens)
