Planning Resources

Feb 6

Think winter weddings are boring? Think again!

If you're getting hitched in Colorado, consider doing it in the wintertime.

Not only will you be able to take advantage of some off-season discounts, but you and your guests will have an epic time in the snow-covered Rockies. From Insta-worthy moments to adventure galore, here's why a winter wedding in Colorado should be at the TOP of your list.

1. Cost-Effective and Low-Stress

Winter in Colorado means off-season prices, which means more money for your honeymoon fund or whatever else you have in mind. And the best part? Most vendors are more available during the winter, so you won't have to stress about rushing to book everything. That’s a super solid win if you ask me.

2. A Winter Wonderland Adventure for Your Guests

Your guests will have a blast in Colorado during winter. They can hit the slopes for some skiing or tubing, or take a peaceful hike in the peace and quiet of the winter wilderness. If they're feeling fancy, they can lace up their skates and hit the ice at a frozen lake. For those who prefer a more relaxed pace, they can enjoy a hot tub or a cup of hot cocoa by the fireplace. Trust me, they'll be bragging to their friends and family about all the cool winter adventures they had in Colorado long after they’ve come and gone.

3. Less Stress for Your Guests

Winter is a slower season for some, which makes it the perfect time for your guests to come together and celebrate your love. And the best part? They won't have to worry about taking a summer weekend away from their plans. Win-win!

4. There’s A 99% Chance You’ll Have Sunny Skies

People say Colorado has 360 days of sun a year, and it’s true! Winter in the Rockies means sunny skies, so you can rock your dream dress, no problem! Just bring a cute jacket or wrap for layering in case it gets a little chilly.

5. Wintertime is Magical and Romantic AF

There's nothing quite like the cold air of winter filling your lungs to make you feel alive, and what better time to feel that way than on your wedding day! Plus, being surrounded by snowflakes will make you feel like you're in a real-life snow globe. After the ceremony, you can cuddle up in a horse-drawn carriage with hot cocoa and blankets for a magical moment alone with your forever human like Vanessa and Peter did. Swoon!

XOXO,
