Winter weddings aren't the first option to come to mind when deciding on your Big Day date -- cold weather, limited outdoor venue options, the complications of holiday travel -- but they can be some of the most magical weddings. Don't be afraid to embrace quintessential winter elements and bring them into your wedding -- tights, umbrellas, boleros, mulled wine and blankets. Your guests will be comfy, cozy and impressed with your unique and elegant soiree. Here are some of my favorite inspirations for your winter weddings and engagement sessions!
