Did you know that arranging a winter wedding could potentially save you money? In popular wedding months such as June, hotels expect to be fully booked and are less likely to give discounts than they are in the winter, when fewer people get married. There might also be out-of-season offers to be had on transport, honeymoons and accommodation too - so you may be able to take advantage of some wedding bargains by getting married in winter too.

Candle-lit castles make the most romantic winter wedding backdrop. Hedingham Castle is a majestic Norman keep built c.1140, in which you could have a unique and atmospheric candlelit ceremony followed by your wedding breakfast in the magnificent banqueting hall.

Newland Hall is a stunning 15th century Tudor manor house complete with a moat, surrounded by acres of unspoiled countryside, woodland and lakes. Newland Hall offers beautifully lit winter weddings surrounded by original hand carved Tudor beams or even outside under a stunning custom built gazebo.

The Elvetham

With an enchanting olde worlde theme The Elvetham (pictured above) in Hampshire, features picturesque and ornate stone fireplaces in each of the rooms which are lit during the winter months making the venue warm and cosy as well as beautiful in winter. Like many other such venues, they also have an in-house wedding coordinator to help you create your winter wedding wonderland.

Preston Court is a listed Georgian manor house surrounded by ornamental lakes and woodland. Your winter wedding ceremony can take place in the enchanting 12th century St. Mildred's Church, in the gardens on Juliana's medieval moated island in a pretty rose pavilion or in the magnificent Kentish Barn.

If you're after a fun yet intimate vibe, check out Silchester House, a grade II Victorian mansion, complete with its own 300-year-old cedar of Lebanon! If you're planning to invite more than 85 guests, you'll all eat in a heated and carpeted marquee - so even the winter wedding won't stop you from feeling toasty and warm.

And with a little inspiration from our style experts you can turn your perfect winter wedding venue into a wondrous winter palace!
