Roll Call For Winter Weddings!

We originally decided on May 13th, 2020 but decided we didn't want to wait that long! We changed our date to December 13th of this year instead! We're having mint-green, red, and white as our colors and a red velvet cake to reflect our holiday theme

Oh that sounds beautiful! And I LOVE red velvet cake! Can't wait to see photos!!

We were originally going to do a winter wedding and our colors had mint green in it too but SOMEBODY decided they didn't like mint green (without even seeing/trying it on). We started back at square one and now we're in the summer.

Leap Day Bride here! We were originally going to get married in October or November this year. This past February, we saw that Leap Day 2020 was on a Saturday and thought that'd be such a fun and unique day to get married so we decided to push it til then! We're planning on going on a big vacation every 4 years when we celebrate our "real" anniversary. The other years, we'll celebrate on 2/28. Our ceremony & reception will be inside, but I got a pretty faux fur stole to wear in some outdoors pictures!

We are getting married 1/2/21. We love that it’s near the holidays and it’s a palindrome! We live in San Antonio TX where it’s always insanely hot. I wanted a winter wedding to avoid sweating to death 😂

I don't blame you! The heat can be pretty vicious. That is pretty cool though that it's a palindrome.

View Quoted Comment Also a leap Day couple! Ours will also be inside. As far as colors go, there's no holiday theme. Black, ivory, gold, and greenery. Not a lot of flowers, but forest-y

We mostly decided to have our wedding in January because the weather is usually perfect in Florida!!! Not too hot, not too cold. I didn't want to be melting on my big day lol We also didn't want to be engaged for more than a year (he proposed January 12, 2019), so that's why we went with the 11th. We would've done Jan 12th, but we didn't want to get married on a Sunday.

Oh boy there were lots of reasons why we chose a winter date and it basically came down to when we could have our wedding.

After getting engaged October 2018, that we decided spring was just too soon, summer is miserable here in MD with it being just one giant humidity bubble, my cousin was getting married in late August, and a friend was originally considering October for his date. (Which he then promptly changed his mind on when we settled on our date! ).

Now we had to work around holidays. FH loves Christmas so we narrowed it down to December: either the 7th or 14th. We chose the former because who wants to get married 10 days before Christmas?!? Come to find out 12/7 is also my paternal grandparents' 73rd wedding anniversary.

We chose to incorporate the season with shades of reds and greens with white and metallic accents. We also wanted to bring in natural textures and flora as well.

View Quoted Comment Understandable. We were thinking November this year but so glad we decided against it considering finances and all. Even though it's still a little ways away, it's still stressful lol

View Quoted Comment Oh that looks beautiful!

Thank you. The only unknown factor in all of this is the weather. Here in MD we could either have a brisk 60 degree day (tolerable for pictures), or 30 degrees and sleeting rain (not so much haha).

We love the winter and snow so we knew we needed to pick a date later in winter to hopefully get some snow (California can be finicky). We ended up going with February 1st 2020. Just casually doing snow dances over here to get a perfect blanket for our day.

Oh man! Maybe pack a little extra clothing just to be on the safe side and you can turn some of the photos into funny ones lol

Yea California is a toss up. We'll be doing our engagement photos mid December. I'm super ready for the snow. May the snow Gods be with you!

We’re getting married 2/17 which is actually a Monday. We’re doing more of an elopement with our kids and immediate family. FH wanted something close to Valentine’s Day. We both just love winter and Santa Fe. We’re doing blush, ivory & green tones

So our wedding will technically be in the fall but it’s a winter theme. Winter starry night, I’m wanting to incorporate blues, white, and grey. Little lights and pine cones. Some things will be kind of glittery, my dress has a bit of a sparkle to it as well ☺️

That's going to be great! We were actually going to go with an elopement with immediate family too but my mom gave me this whole "before I die" speech and I'm just like . Honestly, I'm regretting it but what's done is done.

I want do this in like a lantern. Cute centerpieces. Hanging around the venue. These will be the color of the bridesmaid dresses. These would be my shoes. I’m still debating.
