Part one: Why we love winter weddings
It’s true – a wedding in Greece is mostly associated with the summer season, sandy beaches & blue skies. but some will argue that winter is actually the most wonderful time of the year. If you are one of these people you should seriously consider having a winter wedding.
As the winter wedding season in Greece has officially started – you will have to agree with us that there is something truly magical and romantic about a winter wedding that is packed with unexpected charm – especially with the beautiful Greek winter weather as the perfect dreamy background.
Imagine white fluffy snow with a misty fog serving as a stunning backdrop to your wedding; a venue with a cosy fireplace, perhaps dimmed chandeliers or a room filled with candlelight – while your guests are greeted with mugs filled with hot chocolate, or the traditional Greek Rakomelo (a warm and sweet alcoholic drink) to warm them up!
If you are still on the fence about throwing a winter wedding you’ll warm up to these winter wedding advantages. From flexibility and better venue rates to cosy wintery design details, here’s why a winter wedding is a great idea, and how we like to do it:
Budget & flexibility – Winter is considered to be off-peak for weddings in some areas, which means weddings in the winter can potentially be less expensive if you choose areas such as Pelion. In areas situated on mountains slopes such as Arachova, you can also have a wider selection of available dates to find the perfect date for you, the venue of your dreams and the most desirable suppliers.
Travel has a peak season too and it isn’t winter – therefore less demand for flights during the chilly post-holiday season and better deals on travel – for you and your guests!
Wintery Design – we love designing winter weddings – with the right wintery design details we can add warmth and charm to the coldest of days, rev up the romance and create the most charming wedding celebrations for you and your guests. from warm colour palettes to fresh flowers and luscious décor, design ideas are endless in the winter with seasonal elements to inspire a theme that will definitely make a statement.
Just think about the abundance of winter-inspired details we can include in your cold-weather celebration such as cashmere blankets to keep you and your guests warm, using pine cones in the décor as well as beautiful floral arrangements – as its the season for many fresh, gorgeous flowers which gives us the option for some mind blowing decorations adding a rich, punchy and plush wintery vibes to your event.
Food and drink – There are many ways to embrace winter products and in the cold season we will want to warm up your guests with a hearty winter menu to reflect the season. There is an abundance of wedding food inspiration during the winter and it can be the perfect time for some classy comfort food to warm the soul when it’s cold outside. This is the ideal season to serve warm treats that feel especially satisfying on a chilly day, keeping your guests toasty with warm chocolate, traditional brandy or a mulled wine station, seasonal fruits, soufflés and cakes.
You can wear dramatic gowns and cosy accessories
– For some brides, a white wedding together with a fairytale winter wedding gown is the ultimate dream. Winter brides can feel free to go for the more dramatic dresses. From striking capes and high necklines, to chic fluffy wraps and fur shawls, teamed by gloves to keep you warm in style- winter wedding gowns will make you feeling like a princess on your big day.
And Finally – you will have some stunning Snowy wedding photos! Imagine an enchanted winter wonderland as your setting and white washed elegant fairytale photos that you can cherish forever.
Next – where are the best places in Greece for a winter wedding? And when is the perfect time for a winter wedding in each area?
