Winter weddings can be unpredictable — even in the best of years, who knows when a Nor’easter will roll into town? — but off-season pricing makes them an appealing option in one of the country’s most expensive wedding markets. Of course, for cold-weather-loving couples, this time of year is more than just savings. Embracing the season brings tons of cozy, romantic touches and snowflake-inspired sparkle.
Ready to plan your perfect winter wedding in Westchester? These 11 inspiring trends will get you started.
1. Set the tone for a cold-weather celebration with snowflake details on your invitation suite.
2. Then carry the motif over to the seating cards.
3. Or choose a dress with sheer, snowflake-inspired lace.
4. Don’t be afraid to throw on a pair of weather-appropriate shoes. A cozy fur stole adds a touch of vintage glamour.
5. Or bundle up with a soft-but-structured coat, knit scarf, and white gloves.
6. Add some texture to a bridal bouquet by incorporating an intentionally messy mix of winter branches and berries.
7. One advantage of early sunsets: tables bathed in candlelight.
8. Of course, the sweetheart table belongs in front of the fire.
9. Instead of accenting your cake with out-of-season blooms, stick with winter-appropriate pinecones. They add a natural, rustic touch that leans into the season.
10. Send guests home with hot cocoa mix and tiny marshmallows. The sweet treat will remind them of the festivities.
11. If a blizzard does hit, embrace it. It makes for the most romantic photos you’ll look back on for years to come.
