A lot of couples shy away from winter weddings, opting for a celebration in summer. But with the mass postponing of weddings happening this year, many couples are choosing to postpone to fall/winter of 2020 or select a winter 2021 date. If you’re one of those couples who planned a spring or summer wedding, we understand it can be difficult to visualize your new event in the midst of winter…
But we have to say, we have seen some absolutely breathtaking winter weddings, and they do come with their own special perks!
1. It’s the perfect season for rich tones and textures (it’s time for those bold burgundy hue, luxe emerald tones, and rich velvet textures baby!)
2. Set the mood with romantic moody lighting (Decorate your venue with the simple yet stunning decor of candlelight, string lights, or a combination of both!)
3. Cozy portraits in the snow are just the cutest! (snuggle up to your boo in front of the most perfect white backdrop of fallen snow!)
But don’t just take our word for it! We’re sharing 8 gorgeous winter weddings in Alberta to show you how truly beautiful those winter nuptials and snowy portraits can be. With weddings captured by Heidrich Photography, Kristyn Harder, Film & Forest, Minted Photography, and so many more talented local photographers, you’ll be stunned at all the beautiful winter wonderland inspiration we have right here in Alberta, and maybe even be inspired for your own winter wedding!

On a chilly New Year’s Eve, at 4 o’clock in the afternoon we tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony with 140 of our closest family and friends. The setting was breathtaking; the spectacular Three Sisters mountain range at Silvertip Resort in Canmore.
We felt so loved that so many people wanted to be part of our special day. We chose to have a winter wedding because the mountains in the winter are unbelievably beautiful.
