4. Planning a winter wedding will mean that your wedding anniversary will also be a quiet time of the year. This means many more of your guests may be able to attend and, if need be, take a day off to celebrate with you as it’s not during the peak wedding season when many people find themselves attending lots of weddings.

5. Winter weather can also be a lot more comfortable clothing wise for men wearing suits, whether it be the groom, grooms men, they won’t have to sizzle in a suit because of the warm weather. It would be similar for the Bride and bridesmaids they won’t feel sticky and stifled in their dresses either!
