Winter Wedding Venue – Ideas from Real Virginia Weddings

Looking for a winter wedding venue in Northern Virginia?

If you want to getting married in the winter, it’s probably because you love this magical time of year! A dusting of snow, Christmas trees, faux fur wraps, s’mores over fire pits, flannel PJ, seasonal sparkle, and more all creates a magical winter wonderland of a wedding!

To help inspire your own special day, we’ve gathered our favorite winter wedding ideas from real weddings here at 48 Fields Farm in Northern Virginia.

KEEP YOUR GUESTS WARM

The most important thing to consider when planning your winter wedding is warmth! If you decide to have some of your celebrations outdoors, make sure it’s warm enough for even your chilliest guests. For example, Victoria and David added heaters and fire pits to their outdoor cocktail hour to keep their guests comfortable. See more of their chic red velvet wedding.

 

EMBRACE THE WINTER SEASON

When planning any winter celebration, hot drinks are a must! How fun is this cookie, coffee, and hot chocolate bar that Holly and Josh created for their guests? They also offered personalized mugs their guests could take home as favors. See more photos from their al fresco wedding under the stars.

 

SNUGGLE UP IN MATCHING PJS

Matching robes are cute, but on a cold winter morning, nothing is better than flannel pajamas. Both cute and practical for removal when hair and makeup are done, we just love these seasonal PJ sets Sarah gifted to her gals. Get more inspiration from Sarah and Chris’ stylish pink winter wedding.

 

BRING THE OUTDOORS IN

When chilly weather sends you inside for warmth, bring the outdoors in! Bethany and Chris created a cozy winter wonderland at their January wedding using evergreen trees discounted after Christmas. See more of this magical day here.

 

KEEP YOUR WEDDING PARTY COZY

Thankfully, long bridesmaids dresses are in fashion, which means no bare legs. You and your attendants can even wear leggings to keep your legs warm (shhh, we won’t tell!). But bare arms are a different story. If you plan to take photos outdoors, we recommend shawls, shrugs, or jackets for you and your bridesmaids. These floral denim jackets Sydney gifted to her attendants kept them cozy and doubled as a unique bridesmaids gift!

 

GET CREATIVE WITH SEASONAL DETAILS

Nothing says winter like Christmas ornaments! Instead of a guest book, this couple asked their guests to leave messages on ornaments! Not only is this a fun way to celebrate the holiday season – it also leaves the couple with wonderful memories they can pull out every year!

 

INCORPORATE WINTRY FLORA

These boutonnieres from Brittney and William’s winter elopement are one of our favorite winter wedding details. They are so simple, but such a wonderful way to celebrate the season. And with evergreen branches and pinecones readily available, they’ll keep your flower budget in check, too.

We hope these winter wedding ideas inspire your planning! What even more winter wedding photos? Check out our winter wedding photo gallery!
