Whilst summer might be better known as ‘wedding season’, that shouldn’t take away from the beauty of a winter wedding. Yeah sure, the weather might be a bit colder and the risk of rain is higher, but since when is British weather predictable?

Winter weddings offer couples the opportunity to play around with a wonderful winter theme and sometimes even get your dream wedding venue at a lower price than they would if they chose to book it in the height of summer.

You can be as imaginative as you like with your winter wedding ideas and plans. Whether you pick up the Christmas theme (and make the most of all that decor that you’ve gathered up from Christmases through the years), or go for something completely separate, there is a lot to play around with.

So, get the seasonal plants and greenery, the fairylights, the sparkle – and probably some blankets – ready because we’ve got 8 of the best venues in London for a cosy winter wedding:
