Now that we\u2019re deep into winter,\nHouston brides might\nbe wondering if they should consider having a winter wedding\nin the Space City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike more\nmountainous regions, Houston is not a city most brides think of when they start\nto imagine a winter wonderland wedding. Known for its hot, humid climate, most\nbrides tend to lean toward a spring wedding in Houston. That\u2019s why it\u2019s nearly\nimpossible to book popular venues in March, April, and May. Unless you choose a\ncool indoor venue, a summer wedding in Houston is out of the question \u2014 your\nguests will thank you later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The great thing\nabout living in Houston, however, is that you can actually have a stunning\nwinter wedding outside, without worrying about below-freezing temperatures,\nrain downpours, or serious windstorms. So, before you start planning your big\nday, consider these Houston winter wedding ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make It Formal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Something about\nwinter weddings always makes guests want to dress to the nines. In the summer,\nwe tend to dress down to compensate for the unbearable heat and sun. A winter\nwedding is perfect for brides who plan on wearing a glamorous dress, or for\ncouples that have already booked an elaborate venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Know Your Setting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a winter\nwedding in general, it\u2019s always a good idea to focus on enchanting details,\nsuch as gold tones, lace, dark decorations, or even some twinkle lights if you\nplan on having the ceremony outside. However, unless you\u2019re getting married in\na grand indoor venue, it\u2019s important to remember that you\u2019re in Houston, not\nupstate New York. A winter wedding in Houston means that the weather will be\nquite temperate, even sunny and warm, not quite as cozy and intimate as it\nmight seem in a snowy, cold climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add Some Houston Flare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We often think of\nHouston as a summery city, thanks to its hot weather and love of barbecue, but\nthat\u2019s what makes it such a special city. Getting married during winter doesn\u2019t\nmean throwing out all the elements that make Houston unique. Gourmet doughnuts,\nsweet bread, barbecue, boudin, shrimp creole, crawfish, and gumbo are all\nHouston classics that you may want to incorporate into your menu.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go Outside<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nWhile plenty of cities on the East and West coast are far too cold for\nan outdoor wedding this time of year, Houstonians often enjoy weather in the\n60s and 70s throughout winter \u2014 absolutely perfect for a sunny, gorgeous\noutdoor wedding. Whether you plan to tie the knot around the holidays, or in\nJanuary or February, a winter wedding in Houston means you\u2019ll have a chance to\nenjoy all the parks and outdoor settings that the city has to offer.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We just celebrated Valentine\u2019s Day less than two weeks ago, but love is in the air throughout February.
