Not for the faint hearted

This Unique wedding idea- the fourth in the series- is not for the faint-hearted! If you suffer from bad circulation, or-like me- have hot baths of an evening simply to warm yourself up, then perhaps an ice cold, snow-frosted wedding is not the right choice…

This is really one for the outdoors-y, adventurous types amongst you.  You may be a self-professed ski-aholic, or perhaps your partner romantically proposed to you on the snowy peaks of mountain, whatever your attachment to a colder clime, there’s no better, nor more original way of honouring it, than having your wedding on a mountain-top.

First you will need to decide upon a location. France can be tricky as it tends to be the case that you need proof of residency. Most budding brides opt for North America- Banff in canada and Colorado being two of the favourites. Of course flying guests accross an Ocean may not be the cheapest way of saying ‘I do’, but if you have the money to spare and the desire attached, then you shouldn’t be put off. You might also want to think about having a smaller-scale wedding, inviting just close friends and family to save costs.

Alternatively, you could opt for a wedding that’s altogether closer to home, and simply create a winter wonderland theme with the aid of some fake snow, ski accessories, a wind machine, and some ice white wedding lanterns. You could even get married in full blown ski attire- though this may not be the most elegant way of walking down an aisle. You might want to think about hiring a video artist, and project images of panoramic mountain views- think planet earth, polar bears episode- which could serve as the backdrop to your ceremony.

However you choose to celebrate your snow-covered wedding, make sure you warn your guests beforehand if they need to come equipped with thermal underwear!
