Winter Wedding Ideas

Video Transcript

"At Christmas time, your guests will have to travel. Candles, candles, candles. Greenery in the windows, and votives -- it's just beautiful. Candlelight, candelabra at the ceremony, coming down the aisle, depending on if you want it draped with a pretty material with some florals. But again, it depends if we're at a church or if we're at a venue that we're bringing in chairs. Love Chivaries. Big ticket, you know. They just add so much to a wedding, at the reception and the wedding. Wilmington weddings change every year. This year they start March, and we don't end till October. Last year we started in February and ended in November... no, it was December, we ended in December. So it really just depends on that couple, when they got engaged, where they got engaged, and the season they really want to have that wedding in. So you have to take into consideration family, friends, children, school, college mates, you know, everything, so that you can have the most important and the special people that you need to have here, here. Timing and the availability of venues at church, because churches have church programs, churches have celebrations, and so you'll have to work with them on the availability of that venue itself. Most of the other venues are open on a regular schedule, except for Christmas parties. Think of all the Christmas parties that happen in Wilmington, or even outside of Wilmington. It's totally up to the bride and groom, and if they're ready and they want to do it, and everyone knows to wear a jacket if it gets chilly and they can check the weather, and if it's nice and comfortable, and if the sun's going to be out, it's fabulous. A garden wedding in the winter, it's a little dull -- you've lost your color, you don't have the green grass, so you've got to do a little extra work in gardens to make that happen. But it wouldn't be for the inside, because you can do whatever you need to do inside. But outside, you would have to bring in some more flowers. Your colors would be really important, OK? And again, depending on your venue, that's going to make the decisions for you as to what we have to do and what not to do."
