1) Snow is a beautiful wedding backdrop.

Pristine mountains of bright white snow and gently falling snowflakes serve as a stunning backdrop to a wedding planner. Decorated with deep jewel tones like green, blue, and red as well as accents of wood and fur, a snow-covered venue offers a uniquely beautiful alternative to the more common garden, beach, or countryside scenery of spring and summer weddings.

2)Prices tend to be cheaper.

Since June through September are the most popular months to say "I do," you can expect to pay more for venues and vendors during that time... and often considerably less during the winter "off-season." You could score the exact same venue, caterer, and florist for far less than you would for a celebration six months later.

3) A tropical honeymoon or destination wedding will feel even more luxurious.

What better time than the dead of winter to invite your loved ones to jet off to a warm destination wedding? They'll love an excuse to visit a tropical paradise like Hawaii or Mexico, and you'll love being able to celebrate your marriage in a beautiful location, away from the rain and chill of your hometown.

4) You won't have to compete with all the summer weddings.

There's a reason why summer is known as "wedding season" – suddenly it seems like everyone you know is tying the knot within just a few months. Instead of being just one of many weddings your guests will be attending during the season, stand out from the pack with a January or February celebration. Your wedding will naturally have a different style and feel than the summer weddings, thanks to colder temperatures and different seasonal flowers, so there's less of a chance your reception will look exactly like everyone else's.

5) It's the perfect time to serve your favorite comfort food.

Is there anything better than hunkering down with delicious comfort food while it's cold and snowing outside? This is the ideal season to serve snacks like macaroni and cheese, steak, mashed potatoes, and cake – warm treats that feel especially satisfying on a chilly night!
