Having a winter wedding in Arizona isn’t the same everywhere else. In the Arizona valley, you don’t have to worry about snow, if heater is working or any of those inevitable issues that go hand in hand with weddings held during the darker months. That is why Arizona was made for winter weddings.

So enjoy the utterly magical and romantic view of this beautiful wedding shot by Ashtyn Nicole Photography as we share our 5 favorite things we love to see in planning a winter wedding.

Winter Accessories
It CAN be cold so consider accessorizing with faux fur or a chic cardigan, all good options. Also, long sleeves wedding dresses are in!
OPT FOR RICH COLORS
Winter weddings crave rich and moody color schemes.
Think navy, burgundy, and dark greens. Plus, don’t be afraid of a little shimmer dust. Winter is the perfect time to unleash a bit of sparkle!
Add Romance With Candles
It will be dark quite early. Embrace it with lots of romantic candle light in both your ceremony and reception space.

4. INVEST IN WINTERY DECOR

Winter decor is fabulous. Here are a few ideas if you’re looking to turn your venue into a winter wonderland

Pine cones- You can use them as table decorations, or scatter them around the bar.
Christmas trees- Perfect for filling up a bare corner of the room.
Lanterns and tea lights- These help create both a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. They’re ideal for lighting up footpaths, hanging outside your venue, or, creating mood lighting at your reception.
Wooden decor- This is very in right now. Rustic themed decor compliments any wintery theme.
Wreaths- Perfect for decorating your venue or as an alternative to the traditional bridal bouquet.

5. KEEP YOUR GUESTS WARM

We all know that Phoenicians look for any reason to wear a coat. However, it is nice to add some options for your guest to stay warm just in case they did’’t bring a coat. Consider draping stylish blankets over your guest’s chairs. They can use them as the evening draws near.

Additionally, you can always provide a Hot Cocoa Bar, with all the toppings for your guest to customize.
