Venues include Silverthorne Pavilion and the Lodge at Breckenridge

There are a lot of mixed opinions about winter weddings and the advantages/disadvantages to having one, but we think that winter weddings have a unique charm that captivates couples and guests alike. With a snowy landscape as a backdrop, these ceremonies offer a magical and serene atmosphere that cannot be replicated in other seasons.

Scenic Backdrops

One of the most striking advantages of a winter wedding is the breathtaking scenery. Freshly fallen snow blankets the ground, creating a pristine canvas that enhances the beauty of any venue. Whether you're outdoors amidst towering pines or indoors in a cozy lodge, the winter elements contribute to a romantic, cozy and picturesque setting. A snowy landscape provides magical and stunning photography opportunities that have captivated us as photographers and our clients for years and years. A snowy wedding never fails to take our breath away as they are always so unique and bring a feeling of warmth and comfort. Winter weddings never fail to create an intimate and romantic atmosphere.

Unique Decor/Attire Opportunities

The winter season allows for distinctive decor and attire choices that often include rich, warm colors and seasonal elements. Think deep reds, emerald greens, and touches of gold or silver. Incorporating pinecones, evergreen branches, and twinkling fairy lights enhances the winter wonderland theme. Couples can also choose to feature winter florals like amaryllis and white roses, which complement the snowy backdrop beautifully.

Availability and Cost

Even in Colorado, winter can often be overlooked as a wedding season, which may result in increased availability of venues and vendors. Many couples find that popular venues are less booked during the winter months, allowing for greater flexibility in planning. Additionally, some venues may offer off-peak pricing, making a winter wedding a budget-friendly option.

Conclusion

A winter, snowy wedding provides a unique opportunity to create an unforgettable and picturesque celebration. With stunning views, intimate gatherings, distinctive decor, and potential cost savings, couples can embrace the magic of the winter season to craft a day that reflects their love story in a truly enchanting way.
