Getting married in winter: when the location becomes an inspiration
It might sound strange, but the end of summer is the ideal time to think about an evocative winter wedding. Getting married in winter is an original solution that can have several advantages. The greater availability of professionals makes it possible to set the date earlier and to plan every detail with complete peace of mind. Of course, the right location has to be chosen!
In addition to ensuring maximum comfort even on the coldest days of the year, the Antiche Scuderie Odescalchi accompanies the bride and groom every step of the way, to design an event that reflects the couple’s personality while simultaneously radiating the charm of the cold season. Those who choose midweek days, when the structure is always granted exclusively, in addition to taking advantage of the organisational benefits, can also benefit from interesting economic reductions. An attractive option that allows newlyweds to devote more time and resources to their winter honeymoon, a perfect opportunity to visit exotic destinations and faraway places.
Getting married in winter: pure white and sparkling colours
The cold months offer endless creative ideas that tickle the imagination of wedding professionals. The winter wedding can have a romantic mood, a natural chic look or an extremely contemporary character. Between December and January, typical Christmas colours can be used, such as forest green and ruby red, to be declined in shades of burgundy or magenta to give a more modern touch. To create an event that reflects the warmth and intimacy of the festive season, the room can be decorated with a large fir tree, surrounded by relaxing corners where you can enjoy hot chocolate, mulled wine, herbal teas and Christmas cakes, cuddled by the warmth of lit fireplaces.
Those who love Nordic settings can go for optical white. The whiteness of snowy landscapes envelops every element: from the mise en place to the creations of the floral designers, enriched with ferns, shrubs, hypericum berries and cineraria leaves. Clever plays of light, to be achieved with candles, luminous cascades or imposing chandeliers, diffuse a fairy-tale aura, perfect for crowning the bride ‘queen of winter’. Green light to glittering arrangements, in which the purity of crystal, gold, copper or silver details predominate. The long imperial tables, nude effect or covered in precious fabrics, are adorned with porcelain, delicate candelabras and themed floral arrangements, highlights also for those who want an unusual Valentine’s Day themed wedding or a daring carnival wedding in February. In the first half of March, a month that is increasingly in vogue among future brides and grooms, the event can be inspired by the imminent awakening of nature, focusing on boho chic, shabby chic or country chic style arrangements, enhanced by raw fabrics, transparent glass and earthy colours.
The triumph of aesthetic taste: themed menus and customised graphic coordination
Getting married in winter allows you to give your guests a unique experience. To guide your guests through an intense and involving journey, our graphic designers can design customised graphic coordination, which in addition to the invitations includes the tableau de mariage, the menu card, the place cards, the aperitif markers, the confetti and the dessert buffet.
The menus are rich and delicious, drawing on the colours and scents typical of the period. In addition to local specialities, they may include seasonal local products, polenta, soups, mushroom and chestnut dishes. The extremely carefully prepared dishes give each dish a great aesthetic impact, to enjoy all the magic and beauty of winter.
Winter wedding at the Antiche Scuderie Odescalchi: a real must
Thanks to the magical nature and the elegant halls of the historic residence, the Antiche Scuderie Odescalchi is a privileged location for those wishing to get married in winter. The centuries-old woods and the splendid English-style gardens, enlivened by the scarlet berries of the Cotoneasters, provide inspiration in this season for sophisticated themed arrangements, classic or trendy, integrated with the surrounding environment. Thanks to the versatility of the space and an extensive network of partners, including musicians, catering companies, event designers, light designers and flower designers, the venue offers solutions for every need. Starting with the authentic civil ceremony on site, which retains the allure of a solemn ceremony but avoids inconvenient travel. Couples opting for a religious rite can, however, book one of the area’s magnificent churches, including the Renaissance Santa Maria del Riposo, just 3 km away. On warmer days, some of the highlights of the wedding, such as the civil ceremony, the aperitif, the cutting of the cake and the dessert buffet, can be celebrated outdoors, surrounded by the singing of the stream and the burnished colours of the vegetation. The incomparable winter light, reflecting on the silvery waters of Lake Bracciano, is the backdrop for images taken by the best photographers and videomakers, to capture unforgettable memories.
