With sparkling snow, chilly air and crystal clear skies, a winter wedding can be magical. There are so many pros of having a Christmas or winter wedding here at The West Mill. Think toasty fire pits, twinkling fairy lights, warm mulled wine, hot toddies and mince pies. What could be more wonderful than having all your friends and family together at the most wonderful time of the year?
Here are just a few benefits of having a winter wedding here at The West Mill…
It Could Actually Snow
What could be more romantic than a crisp white wedding with a scattering of the white stuff? Imagine snow-kissed nuptials with our riverbank and stunning weir and festoon lights as a backdrop amidst our misty Derbyshire beauty and inside, think candlelit decadence, winter smells and Oscar-worthy movie-like scenes.
All Out Glamour
The winter months create the perfect backdrop for moody, romantic fashion. Think deep burgundies and sage, black and gold, dark turquoise and blush. Throw in a hint of faux fur, a dramatic cape and some sparkle to really make a statement against our unique industrial-style backdrop.
Winter Decor
Another benefit of a winter wedding is the decor. Here at The West Mill, there’s something we just love about our winter wedding decor – perhaps it’s when our silvers meet gold, natural and whimsical with pine needles and berries, classic red and white with lace accents, or moody bohemian with rich jewel tones, think Great Gatsby and all-out glamour.
Fabulous Winter Feasts
Food is a huge part of any special day and with canapés such as pigs in blankets and hot mince pies, what’s not to love? The West Mill will even cook up a Christmas dinner or a Host A Roast for you and your guests.
Christmas Tunes
Whether it’s Michael Buble streaming out his Christmas Classics or Christmas carols during your reception, there is a certain romance about the festive season which means anything goes.
Full Attendance
Savvy brides are realising that marrying off-season often means reduced rates, less competition for suppliers and fewer guests away on their summer holidays.
How much cheaper is a winter wedding? Having a winter wedding can reduce stress as social commitments are less likely to pile up during these months, resulting in the avoidance of “wedding season fatigue”. Additionally, you’ll save money by opting for an off-peak season wedding, as prices at The West Mill tend to drop. This means you can allocate more funds towards important aspects of your special day, such as food, your dress, photography, or even your honeymoon.
Choose A Great Winter Venue
Everything starts with the venue and for a winter wedding, the majority of your reception will take place once the sun’s gone down. So make sure you visit your venue in the evening to see what kind of lighting it has and whether it has a vibe that’s suitably cosy and inviting for your big day. The West Mill is the perfect winter venue, come and view us at candlelight and take in the sparklers and fire pits.
