Stock Yourself With Chapstick

Apart from the beautiful environment winter brings, it also makes lips extremely dry and may turn to a sore. This you really want to avoid on your big day, so it’s important to get more than one chapstick (in case the other gets missing). 

What about dry skin? Even after using enough body oil, cream, or lotion, there is a high tendency for it to get dry after exposure to the cold for a long period. So, ensure you get a quality body moisturizer to help you keep glowing regardless of the harsh weather condition. 

Get Winter-Related Accessories

You really cannot determine the drop in temperature before that day and even if you’re very comfortable in the cold, it’s necessary to get winter accessories for the day, especially for an outdoor wedding. 

For example, when selecting a wedding gown, it’s better to choose the type that’ll keep you warm outside. Also, your choice of veil matters a lot. 

On the other hand, you may want to consider getting a long-sleeved wedding dress to get free from worrying about the cold. It’s all up to you as the weather’s got nothing on you on that day. 

Get an Outfit to Keep Your Husband Warm

Men are less concerned with this planning because their outfits are supposedly sufficient to keep them warm all day. But with you in the picture, you understand that some outfits tend to be warmer than others. For example, a velvet suit keeps warmer than others. 

Get Winter Shoes

Remember the ground may be slippery during extreme winter, so consider getting winter shoes to give you the confidence to walk on that day like the Queen you are. It may also rain too, so put this in your choice of selecting shoes. 

Not to worry, there are lots of nice winter shoes that’ll still make you stand out amid your bridesmaids and guests. 

Select Outfits to Keep Your Bridesmaids Warm

Talking about bridesmaids, they need to be warm as well. As you’re preparing to avoid falling cold or getting uncomfortable during the ceremony, think about your bridesmaids that have agreed to celebrate you. 

Select styles to cover them up enough or include some faux shawl around their necks. It’s up to y’all to decide which works well though. 

Select an Environment that Accommodates Both Ceremonies

If you’re planning a reception after the wedding, then this is for you. It’s better to select an environment or hall that will allow you to engage in all activities without any change. 

This is very important because, with winter, there may be extreme weather changes that’ll disrupt your traveling plans. But with one venue, all concerns are solved. 

Likewise, you need to give enough time to arrive at the wedding destination both for you and your guests. Again, the weather conditions may make it unsafe to drive, so plan. 

Add Some Glitz to Your Wedding Dress

When choosing a wedding dress style, select one that has some shining elements as they add to the beauty in pictures. These could be sequin materials or hand-stoned dresses. Guess what? These are very easy to come by during winter and also come at an affordable price. 

Get a Good Photographer

Remember that winter isn’t like other seasons and the weather changes can happen within seconds. So, get a good photographer to help you capture the moments with their expertise. 

Also, note that it gets much darker earlier in the winter season and the expert should be able to adjust the camera brightness accordingly. 

Get a Spare Wear Choice

Both for shoes and your dress, it’s good to have a spare lying around. You don’t want to ruin your designers’ shoes during the day, so get a more affordable shoe to rock the other aspects of the ceremony after the exchange of vows. 

Select Someone to be in Charge

While your bridesmaid will be in charge of your well-being, assign someone or two people to take all the responsibilities up. From checking your dresses during the ceremony to your gifts and other things that are important to you. 

This will help you concentrate on enjoying yourself to the fullest on the big day. 

Get a Good Stylist for Your Hairdo

Moving away from the necessary tips for a winter wedding, here’s a point that’s very important as well. 

Your choice of makeup stylist speaks a lot about your look and presentation on the day. If you have someone in mind already, ensure you get to discuss it with them in-depth before the day. It’ll help you have less to worry about when the day is approaching. 

Wedding Bands Choice

The highlight of any wedding is the reading of vows and the exchange of rings. So this makes it extremely important for you to select a good choice of wedding bands. 

For your man, there are lots of men’s wedding bands types made from gold, platinum, and lots more. You may decide to add some sparkles to yours for more details and drama. 

In all, get something that suits your style perfectly. 

Relax

Yes, planning a wedding can be stressful, but you need to relax before the day. So, take enough time out with your girlfriends to relax and do all the necessary stuff to get you relaxed. 

Wrapping Up

Weddings are great and proper planning makes it worth every time spent. With these tips, you have enough to help your winter wedding remain very awesome even in harsh weather conditions. 

Get a good photographer, comfortable clothes, and shoes, and select a good time. Your wedding will always be remembered with these.
