I am an avid fan of the Swedish brand Foreo. It was Foreo that introduced me to my first cleansing device, the Luna, followed by the Luna Mini, and eventually a range of other innovative products, including the Bear. Most recently, I’ve added the Foreo Body device to my collection.

Planning the perfect winter wonderland wedding

Bucking the trend for spring and summer weddings in favour of a winter soirée could make your big day even more magical. Explore the elements that need to be carefully considered if you want to create an incredible wonderland wedding.

1.      Setting the date

Although you’ll likely have plenty of choice with venue availability compared to the spring and summer months, setting the date of your winter wedding requires careful consideration.

Travelling in winter can be challenging, so as beautiful as a white wedding would be it’s best to opt for early December or the end of February rather than midwinter if guests are coming from far and wide.

You should also avoid the festive period unless you’re planning an intimate event as people are often with their families or abroad. If you opt for a day close to Christmas, you’ll benefit from extra-special attractive décor, delicious traditional fare and the joyful spirit of the season.

2.      Choosing the venue

Choosing an indoor venue is recommended for winter weddings. Temperature control and cosy fires ensure your guests are comfortable throughout the event and there’s no risk of seasonal heavy wind and rain spoiling the ceremony. Old halls and hotels in particular look sensational with fires roaring in the grates of softly-lit wood-panelled rooms.

However, if you have your heart set on an outdoor wedding, getting married in winter doesn’t automatically rule this out. A marquee made of a thermal material with heaters lining the walls will soon feel pleasant once it’s filled with dancing guests!

3.      Selecting your outfit

You’ll want to look and feel your best on the big day, and this comes from being comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing. If your outfit is too hot, cold or restrictive, it could interrupt your enjoyment of this momentous occasion.

Instead of dressing for the weather, dress for the climate you’ll be in. Stay cool in hot rooms with breathable fabrics like cotton and linen, or ensure warmth outdoors with thicker materials such as silk and velvet and a jacket or bolero that can be added or removed as needed.

When planning your accessories, you can either make a diamond ring the star with your wedding band or go all-out with a matching necklace and sparkling combs or a tiara. Gemstones such as sapphires, emeralds and rubies will also glitter beautifully in the low sunlight and frost or flickering firelight.  

4.      Navigating logistics

Winter brings the chance of storms and snow, and at the very least the likelihood of rain, wind and sub-zero temperatures which can leave roads and paths icy. This can make travelling to winter weddings time-consuming, so allow plenty of time for your guests to get to the venue.

You should also speak to the venue about arranging grit and wet floor signs to protect your guests’ health and safety in the event of bad weather.

Party season could compound logistics challenges as it increases the amount of traffic on the roads and makes it harder to get taxis. Advise guests to allow extra time if driving and to order their ride home well in advance to avoid disappointment and stressful situations on the night.
