Winter weddings become more and more popular every year as people got tired of a classic “blue water, white sand, and palm-trees” paradise picture. Especially if you live in the UAE or any other Gulf country. We’ve got enough of that stuff all year round.
And if you are a big fan of skiing or snowboarding, it’s a perfect opportunity to combine your love for the winter sports with your love for your better half.
Top 5 tips for planning your dream ski wedding for the UAE residents
- Choose a perfect location
If you are planning to invite a few guests, the chances are not all of them are confident skiers, so you need to make sure that both skiers and non-skiers will have fun. Most resorts have slopes for the advanced skiers and for the beginners, and some of them offer some other activities. Those will be your goal.
2. Research pictures locations
While it’s not really hard to find a good background in the mountains, you still want your photos to be perfect, not just good. So it’s worth doing a little research and planning a route, keeping in mind the lift situation. And of course, your photographer needs to be a confident skier or boarder too, so they can keep up with you and make the best shots.
Life-hack: you can set up a little photo-booth so your guests can have great pictures too.
3. Have your ski/snowboard boots at your fitting with you
The last thing you want at your wedding is to find out that you can’t move comfortably. There will be a lot of jumping on/off the lift involved and maybe even actually skiing downhill if you are ready to go for it.
4. Keep everyone warm
You would think that just because you told your guests the wedding is happening in the mountains they will arrive having an appropriate for the mountain temperature outfits. But practice shows that between looking elegant or being warm, a lot of people chose the former one. So you probably need to prepare a few extra blankets to keep your stylish guests from catching a cold.
5. Think your decorator through
As you can imagine, it gets pretty windy out there, so a little accessories made of paper and other materials, as well as flowers, can just take off anytime. To prevent that from happening, make sure to inform your florist about your wedding location so they can add some extra weight to your decorations to keep them in place.
