Winter in Saskatchewan usually begins from mid-November, and with it, brings the most beautiful weather comprising of powdery snow, sun dogs and frost. But while some prefer to go ice fishing or skiing, others prefer to host their wedding. If you fall in the latter category, here are some ideas to make your winter in Saskatchewan memorable:
- Centre your wedding theme around the season
Pick a theme that matches the season, and embrace it. Take photos outdoors, plan outdoor activities, and let your photos be made perfect by snowy backgrounds. Encourage your guests to dress for the weather, if you’ll be spending time outdoors engaging in any activity.

If you plan to have an outdoor wedding, you can go the extra mile by providing blankets for your guests. This will leave a number of them thankful.
- Hire vendors who have winter weddings experience
These vendors know better than to serve cold drinks on a snowy morning. They also help you save money by using flowers that are blooming, for decors and bouquets. These flowers include garden roses, winter jasmine, crocus, and hellebore.
- Use affordable seasonal foods
Your winter wedding in Saskatchewan should include food that can withstand the cold environment, and can be easily sourced. Fruits like apples, pears, oranges, and strawberries are winter-friendly. Vegetables and greens such as kale, beets, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, celery should be incorporated into the foods.
- Pick venues that are in-line with season
When planning a winter wedding in Saskatchewan, consider venues that provide you and your guests’ shelter from the cold. There are also venues that let you say, “I DO,” outside, under the snowy weather, and provide a sheltered, heated space for the reception.
