Can you believe December is here?! We love this time of year as the magic of the holiday season begins to fill the air. We are anxiously awaiting another snowfall here in Northern Michigan but meanwhile we will be daydreaming of winter weddings in picturesque locales.  Here are a few of our favorite winter destinations!

The Little Nell, the acclaimed five star and five diamond ski resort in Aspen, would make the perfect backdrop for winter nuptials! It is the only hotel with ski-in, ski-out access to Aspen Mountain.  Guests can take a gondola ride up the mountain to The Wedding Deck at the property, which many say is the most stunning site for a ceremony in all of Colorado.

Our friends at Beth Helmstetter Events created this gorgeous ceremony at Amangani – the luxury resort in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  Bonus: The skiing here is supposed to be some of the best in the Rockies! You’ll likely want to extend your celebration to encompass the entire weekend so you can plan fun outings to take in the scenery with your loved ones.

We planned Paula & Matt’s wedding at the Four Seasons Vail and the property was spectacular! (We can’t wait to plan a return trip!) From the pristine mountain views to the lovely accommodations, this location should go on the top of your list if considering a winter destination wedding!

The Ranch at Rock Creek is a 19th century homestead nestled in the picturesque valley of Philipsburg, Montana. With accommodations ranging from one bedroom suites to five bedroom houses, this historic property offers unique styles of lodging for all of your guests. The ranch is known for hosting luxurious, one of a kind events. You can customize a weekend itinerary filled with guided outdoor activities, delicious meals and merriment! We love the gorgeous sleigh pictured above – perfect for a winter wedding photo op!

Moving to the East Coast, we are swooning over the Bedford Post Inn. Located in the heart of Westchester County in Bedford New York, this eight-room luxurious inn is intimate and romantic. This setting would be idyllic in the winter months!

Last but most certainly not least is the legendary Rainbow Room in NYC (65 stories on top of the the landmark Rockefeller Center!) We love this quintessentially New York venue – perfect for a sophisticated, metropolitan celebration. Just imagine overlooking the city with the snow falling…so dreamy!
