Venue Advice for a NYC Wedding Between November and March

Want to save money on an off-season wedding? Book your New York City wedding between November and March. Avoid winter blues with these cold-weather wedding tips:

Avoid outdoor weddings in the heart of winter. While snowfall doesn't always stick in New York City in the wintertime, it can get downright unpleasant thanks to cold, rain and winds. Weather won’t affect an indoor wedding.
If you’re having any portion of your wedding outside or your reception features a veranda or rooftop, ask your vendor about renting heaters to keep your guests comfortable.
Wear a gown that reflects winter in the city. Look for shimmering accents, silver tones, hints of fur and rich, heavy fabrics. Wear a closed-toe shoe.
New York wedding florists import flowers from around the world year-round. When booking your florist, ask what varieties of flowers are best suited for cold temperatures. Consider putting together floral arrangements with a deep wintry shades or pure snowy white elements.
Plan to be flexible with photography. Ideally, your New York wedding photographer will want to get shots of you and the bridal party outside. Depending on weather conditions and the time of day, you may need to be creative. Don’t be afraid to face chilly weather for a few minutes to get beautiful shots outside in flattering natural light.
