Latest Trend: Winter Weddings
Have you always imagined yourself as a summer bride? Or do you say yes to your loved one in the spring when nature is just beginning to wake up? Have you ever considered getting married on a snowy day with snow everywhere?
You shouldn't be so dismissive of the idea of getting married in winter. Winter weddings, which offer many advantages over summer weddings, have recently become a popular choice among couples. So, what are the advantages of getting married in winter?
Wedding Venue
You're more likely to have better luck choosing a wedding venue than those getting married in the summer. You're more likely to find the venue you want and like available on a date that suits you. Because fewer weddings occur in the winter months, venue prices are more affordable than in other months. The savings you make on venue fees can help you plan your honeymoon differently or meet other needs. After deciding on your concept, explore venues that fit your budget and book the one that best suits your needs. Don't let any setbacks, even in winter, get you in trouble.
There's a common misconception that winter weddings will be less well-attended. However, summer weddings may be less well-attended. The people you invite may be away on vacation or at their summer homes, unable to attend your wedding. Or, they may be attending another wedding and unable to attend yours. Such situations are unlikely to occur at a winter wedding. Therefore, consider the number of guests when deciding on your wedding venue.
Wedding Dress Model
If you're getting married in winter, your wedding will likely be indoors. Venues like wedding halls and ballrooms are popular venues for extravagant wedding dresses. You can opt for long trains, puffy skirts, and princess-cut gowns. Pair your princess-cut gown with a long veil and a flattering updo to create a stunning winter bride.
If you're getting married in a historical venue, which has recently become a popular choice, you can choose a more retro wedding dress. Choose from a bateau neckline and lace details to match the spirit of the venue.
After deciding on your wedding dress, don't forget to choose your bridal accessories appropriate to the season. Even if your wedding venue is indoors, you might get cold during your arrival and departure, or during the photo shoot. Therefore, a cashmere or wool bolero over your wedding dress will protect you from the cold. Capes, which look especially good with vintage wedding dresses, are also a good idea. It's also a good idea to consider the weather when choosing your shoes.
Hair-Makeup
The cool weather is on your side in this regard, too. Makeup that runs from the heat and hair that gets ruined from humidity aren't the concerns brides getting married in winter need to worry about. With hair and makeup choices that match your wedding venue and wedding dress style, you can be a dazzling winter bride.
Honeymoon
You can also experience an unforgettable honeymoon with plans beyond the sea, sand, and sun trio. Turkey is a country rich in winter tourism. Choose from tourist resorts like Uludağ, Kartalkaya, Ilgaz, and Palandöken to enjoy the snow and cold weather, and then enjoy a romantic dinner by the fireplace with your partner in the evening. If skiing isn't your thing, consider Yedigöller and Abant, where you can be at one with nature. In the cold winter months, warm waters can be a great way to prepare you for your new life. At thermal hotels, you can unwind and relax after your wedding with a spa. Resorts rich in hot springs like Yalova, Bursa, Gönen, and Kütahya are also worth considering for your honeymoon.
If you're thinking, "My wedding took place in winter, but I want my honeymoon to be spent in the sunshine," you should consider options abroad. If you can budget and have the resources, you can spend your honeymoon in warm destinations like Brazil, the Caribbean, or Dubai. Couples who don't want to go abroad can postpone their plans and go for a summer honeymoon.
It doesn't really matter what season or place you get married or where you spend your honeymoon. What matters is finding the right person and embarking on a happy, lifelong life with them.
