AND WHY WE LOVE THEM
Bright red leaves of late fall fade into the crisp air and misty skies of winter, then slowly and finally, fresh blooms of spring all at once! December, January, February, and March comprise the most enchanting season for Oregon weather and nature. We have mild temperatures, an abundance of lush evergreen trees, the magic of occasional snow, and Oregon's signature misting rain. There's ambiance everywhere you look -- making it ideal for magically romantic weddings!
Summer may be peak wedding season, but I'm here to tell you why winter is a hidden gem! Here are 8 reasons couples say YES to a winter wedding in the PNW!
1. WINTER WEDDING DECOR
Winter wedding themes create warm and inviting spaces. Think rich fabrics, cozy accents, glittering metallics, and seasonal foliage!
2. MILD WEATHER
Skip the humidity and sweltering heat by opting for a winter wonderland wedding. Trust us: Your hair and makeup will thank you.
3. HOLIDAY VIBES
The holidays are a perfect time for getting the entire family together, so bringing everyone close to witness your nuptials is like the perfect Christmas present. Decor trends for holiday weddings are cozy and romantic. Think holiday music, Christmas trees, pine garlands, and flickering candles.

4. ENDLESS ACCESSORY OPTIONS
Winter wedding accessories can seriously amplify your bridal look and offer a fun way to showcase personal style on the big day. Channel your inner Grecian goddess with a gold hair comb or a seasonal hair wreath that's worthy of any bohemian bride. Shine bright in a sequin cape, or consider adding a faux fur stole.

5. FRESH & UNIQUE FEEL
Getting married 'off-season' automatically makes your celebration feel distinctive. Guests will have attended fewer recent weddings and may have more flexibility to take time off work and travel during the winter.
6. HOT CHOCOLATE & FRESHLY MADE DOUGHNUTS
The cozy season lends itself to extra richness. Lean in with fun treats like espresso & hot chocolate service, freshly made doughnuts, or decadently decorated cakes at the reception.

7. BREATHTAKING PHOTO OPS
Winter backdrops are distinctive: striking blue skies, saturated evergreen hillsides, hibernating trees, rushing streams, and an added dash of unpredictability. There could be raindrops, mist, or snowflakes, but there definitely will be magic.
8.VENUE RENTALS & OVERALL WEDDING COSTS ARE LOWER
Since it's a slower season, your spending plan will go further to cover those special extras!
