winter weddings so chic non

[TheDaVinciCod]

all that cndle light and fur adn velvet

Yes I agree (we got married end of Nov) and it was lovely - all dark red flowers and cranberry scented candles.

We like MMS had a civil ceremony and reception etc all in the same place (and the same day as her too!). Guests didn't have far to travel either in case of snow/blocked roads.

It's nice having an ann in winter as if you can afford to go away (talking pre kids here) you can go somewhere far away and hot to escape the dreary winter weather - and it's a great pick me up!

It honestly was the best day of my life and just how I'd imagined it to be - so pleased I went for winter (there were a few mutterings from some of my so called friends about it being near xmas and being strapped for cash etc!)

I think winter weddings are the best!

howlidaymum - you looked lovely , thanks for posting the pictures.

Sorry just seen the pics - you did look lovely. Very wintery/romantic - love deep red!

i know i did admit it was a stupid idea

You'll just have to get married again then!

thanks for posting hm, those pics are gorgeous. I loved the cake too!

We got married in Jan for no other reasons than DH's work commitments (he is in the Forces). Have to say it was perfect though. Church all lit with candles, ivy and holly and berries all around and bridesmaids in dark green with red wraps and me with fabulous red cape (not shapeless IMO). Great photos taken outside although have to say bridesmaids were freezing!

yep but I was a bridesmaid for an April wedding once and it snowed! No weather guarantees in the UK

we have just been invited to a wedding in January in Sweden. My immediate thought - was what a strange time to get married - v. cold and v. dark. When I thought about it I thought how nice it could be snow, cosy, gorgeous candle light etc....

Just have to decide now if we're going and more importantly, what am i going to wear ?? !!

for me or the bride

Howlidaymum - didn't see yous pics before. You look gorgeous in that dress.

Your pics......or at least did see them and then got called away to do dinner blah blah before posting

We got married 9th December. Just the right time to have a lovely honeymoon in the Maldives and get back in time for Christmas.

We had mulled wine at the reception too - went down very well, much to the surprise of mil, who had insisted that all of her friends would prefer bucks fizz!

We had mulled wine and I managed to get a glass with drips on the bottom that dripped all down my dress . Was yummy though and warmed everyone up nicely.

yes I don't think my mil got our wedding either! It wasn't traditional enough for her and a bride in red too!
She had a sour look on her face the whole day!

Yes, I think a few of DHs family were a bit at my dress. Ha ha.

It wasn't as if I could even pretend to be virginal with 2 kids and he has one too so he wasn't chaste either!
Also we wrote the vows to include the kids as part of our new family which i think she thought weird, kids loved it though!

I couldn't get the link to your photos to work howlidaymum - have you removed them?

I looked at a red dress, but decided that as I was only getting married once, it would have to be the traditional white/ivory. I did have a lovely warm green velvet cape thing though.

You can see it here , and there's one of us in front of a Christmas tree at the reception here .

Mine will be 11th October, nice and crisp I hope, there has been some beautiful light around that time of year this year so I am hopeful.

Would hate a hot sticky August wedding.

wow, Witchyspells, you looked gorgeous!

Love the dress, and the cape, and the flowers - loved it all actually!

I like your style

lovely witchy! put mine back up again.

Oh yes, the colour really does suit you hm. And lol at the snowman bride and groom!

I just wished I still looked half as good as I did on my wedding day!

tis our wedding anniversary............

today! , 9 years.

we thought of it more as an autumn wedding that winter.
