5 Winter Wedding Tips for 2020

Follow us on:

With Halloween behind us and Thanksgiving right around the corner, the winter wedding season is fast approaching. To help you plan your colder-weather nuptials, we’ve compiled a list of our top five winter wedding tips for this season. If you have a 2020 date, there’s still time to incorporate some of these ideas into your ceremony or reception:

1. Choose flowers that are in season.

This includes amaryllis, anemone, camellias, Casablanca lilies, forget-me-nots, French tulips, gardenias, holly, jasmine, orchids, mini gerberas, paperwhites (narcissus), poinsettias and roses, according to Teleflora. Additionally, you can also use in-season fillers such as Queen Anne’s Lace, solidago, waxflower, limonium, Montecasino aster, statice sinuate, gysophila and hypericum. Also consider pinecones and mistletoe!

2. Don a jacket.

If you live in an area where the temperatures are frosty, you probably want to wear something over your dress for any outdoor excursions. Don’t worry about taking away from your look; a covering can, in fact, enhance it! Leather, faux fur and velvet are popular options this year. Consider shawls, wraps, capes, coats or even a cozy blanket! 

3. Keep your guests warm.

What better way to stay warm and cozy than with a hot chocolate bar! Create a station equipped with candy canes, cinnamon sticks, marshmallows, chocolate shavings, whipped cream, etc. You can also provide liquors such as Bailey's or peppermint schnapps so your guests can concoct boozy creations.

4. Don’t be afraid of a “holiday” color palette.

While you don’t need to plan a full Christmas-themed wedding, winter or holiday colors can lend a festive feeling to your nuptials. Colors to consider include rose, wine, gold, emerald green, forest green, gray, white, silver, navy and gray-blue. 

5. Bold makeup.

While warmer-weather weddings typically lend themselves to more natural makeup looks, feel free to be more dramatic this winter! A dark red or plum lipstick can really make your winter wedding look pop, as can flashy, sparkly eyeshadow.

Reviews

Check out the glowing reviews from some of our favorite clients below! Their kind words mean the world to us and inspire everything we do.

They were very thorough in making sure our day looked how we wanted it to. On the actual wedding day, they kept our reception lively and on time! They were able to read the crowd well and with our recommendations in mind. I was so worried our wedding would have an empty dancefloor considering the big age range and being hard to appeal to lots of generations, but th did so seamlessly. After a lot of shopping around during wedding planning, I believe the price of their services is of good value. As an add-on, I also opted to do uplighting. This was battery powered and had dynamic color-changing. The battery powered part is important for older venues that may not have as many outlets, and also avoids the trip hazard of too many wires on the floor. All and all 10/10 experience. Thank you!

We cannot recommend SPE enough!!! From the planning to the actual day of the wedding the  team were so professional and wonderful. We did our engagement photos and our wedding day photos with Cufflink Media and they did a great job with taking her time to understand what we wanted as a couple for the photos. All the photographers and videographers for the day of the wedding were great with communicating throughout the whole day both with eachother and us. The djs had the dance floor rocking all night!!! He knew how to get everyone out there of all ages. The price for what we got was very reasonable. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone getting married you will not be disappointed! Thank you to all!!!!  Love,  The Gontarzes 🙂

F.A.Q.

Do you offer Photo & Video?

Absolutely! While our DJs are pretty talented, we’ve learned it’s probably best if they stick to mixing music instead of trying to balance a camera while running the dance floor. 😅

For photo & video, we proudly partner with Cufflink Media — an incredible team that shares the same energy, professionalism, and attention to detail that we’re known for. Together, we help create a seamless wedding experience so your biggest moments not only feel unforgettable in the moment, but look incredible for years to come.

Do you work with other vendors?

Yes! While we have partnerships with Cufflink Media, we do not require you use them exclusively. You can always book us independently and we’ll ensure that all vendors are on the same page throughout the entire planning process and evening.

How do I secure my date?

We ask that when you are ready to book, you give us a signed contract and a $800 deposit. The initial deposit comes off the final balance. After that, you are locked in to your date. Payment plans are available, but we do not require the final balance until a week before your wedding.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. All prices you see include tax, set-up & tear-down, and travel to most places. When paying with credit card there is a 3.8% convenience fee. No fees when paying by check or cash.
