Whether you\u2019ve chosen it because it\u2019s a fantastically festive time or so you can spend sensibly on wedding suppliers, you are likely to still have a few concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember to purchase faux-fur wraps for you (and don\u2019t forget your bridesmaids!) to keep the chill off. You\u2019ll probably be outdoors at least for the photographs, and these fashionable wraps will make sure you\u2019re cosy enough to enjoy them!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tissues and makeup top ups will be your handbag essentials. Red noses and rosy cheeks might be commonplace in the colder weather, but you don\u2019t want them colouring all your wedding photos. Reapply makeup regularly over any redder spots to keep your complexion picture perfect. These winter hair and beauty tips will be your best friend.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The colder weather, more muted colours and darker days will all benefit from a bit of brightening up. Choose sparkly embellishments on your wedding dress and wedding accessories to reflect the light and add some wintery charm.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a more practical note, make sure you\u2019ve got colour coordinated brollies and wellies on hand. If it\u2019s wet or it snows, you\u2019ll be perfectly prepared to stun in your photos still without getting soggy feet!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all know and love the flip flop basket at weddings for comfy feet, but for winter weddings we recommend adding a blanket basket, too. Add a chalkboard sign encouraging guests to help themselves to make sure everyone stays suitably toasty.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your wedding food can also help by offering winter warmer canap\u00e9s and drinks. Think hot canap\u00e9s like miniature fish and chips or steak and chip skewers as well as hot chocolate, mulled wine and s\u2019mores galore.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Red, white and green, ice cool blues, glittering golds and ivory \u2013 whatever winter wedding styling you choose, decide whether you want warming tones or to celebrate the season\u2019s iciness. Stick to one idea throughout for a cohesive reception style.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The days draw in quickly in the winter, so you\u2019ll have more hours of darkness than a summertime wedding. This makes lighting an essential part of the winter wedding survival guide. Even if you\u2019ll be embracing the atmospheric glow, ensure there are plenty of candles, fairy lights or alternative lighting available. This is also a great time of year to include fireworks or sparklers at your wedding because you won\u2019t have to wait so long into the evening to do so.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snow, chilly temperatures and red noses are all possible, so when planning a wedding here\u2019s your winter wedding survival guide for an effortless and beautiful big day.
