With all the cold and rain that makes up winter in the Bay Area, I have to admit I do wish we had a little bit of the white stuff every now and then to make things more entertaining. Imagine peeking out your window one morning to find your lawn blanketed in a sea of white – how super cool?! And what about winter weddings? The cost is pretty nifty – you save quite a bit with off-season weddings. And there is something magical about wedding photos while snow flakes fall, sleigh rides for guests, mistletoe hanging about, hot chocolate with home made marshmallows….the list goes on and on!

Well, I found a lovely little blog called Frosty Winter Weddings complete with sweet animated snowfall that inspired me to truly fall in love with the idea of a winter wedding. I grabbed some photos from on of my fav posts showing an adorable couple that braved the snow for their nuptials that was found over on Martha Stewart Weddings. Take a look for some gorgeous winter wedding inspiration and make sure to head over to Frosty Winter Weddings to read all about the amazing details like the – especially the guest favors!
