Winter nuptials ‘increasingly popular’
The financial benefits of getting married in winter have led to an increasing number of couples opting to tie the knot out of the peak season, news which may interest wedding insurance customers.
This is according to spokeswoman for Debenhams Michelle Dowdall, who explained in an interview with the Scotsman that people can save a significant amount if they have a ceremony outside of summer.
It seems many brides and grooms have also noted this fact, as she claimed nuptials in December and January are on the rise.
"Notable festive holiday dates such as Boxing Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are becoming as sought-after for weddings as any Saturday in June," Ms Dowdall commented.
This trend has been reflected in gift registers, it was claimed, with Debenhams said to have seen more couples signing up for present lists in the two-week festive period than in any week in July.
Student liaison officer at the Wedding Planner School Georgina Way recently described how winter venues need to be easily accessible, as "inclement weather" could otherwise cause problems.
