If you’re looking for an original wedding idea, why not getting married in the Alps? Imagine a real white wedding with snowflakes floating around you, fur coats (fake of course), beautiful snow-laden pine trees and wooden chalets with open fire places… If you and your future other half are mad about skiing or snowboarding, then what could be more perfect? You could even get married on the slopes so you don’t have to lose any skiing time! Now is the time to start looking, if you’re tempted by a winter wedding this coming ski season.
There are lots of reasons to get married in the winter and even more reasons why you should choose to tie the knot in the Alps? One of the most important reasons is that you won’t have to deal with the stress about the weather – everyone will expect it to be cold and there’s always the chance of snow! If you decide to get married in the mountains, you’re pretty much guaranteed a white wedding – either with blue skies and the snow sparkling in the sunshine or with delicate snowflakes falling gently around you as you enter the church! Open fireplaces and cosy chalet-style dining just about top it off! How wonderful does that sound?
Zell am See is a beautiful ski resort in Austria with a stunning church in the centre of the resort. I hear you wondering where to start with the wedding planning… We’ve found the solution - Thomson Holidays have a Luxurious Zell am See Wedding Package which includes a lunch or dinner, bouquets, button holes, wine and drinks, administration and a horse-drawn carriage to take you to and from the ceremony.

If you’re looking for a more personalised wedding in the French Alps, Haute Weddings will be able to tend to all your needs. Their speciality is personally tailored weddings for couples who love all things French and who are looking for that little extra touch of originality. You can invite your guests to a restaurant overlooking one of the longest glaciers in Europe, make a torch lit descent down from an alpine hut, or actually get married at the top of the Aiguille du Midi before skiing down the famous Vallée Blanche in Chamonix! Haute Weddings organise “altitude weddings” in Chamonix, Zell am See and Megeve, three beautiful French ski resorts. They promise to “ensure your dreams are flawlessly brought to reality” on the most important day of your life.
If you choose to get married in the Alps because you’d like your wedding to be truly original, then here are some ideas to make your special day even more unforgettable… The bride and groom arriving on skis, by dog-sled, snowshoeing (maybe the least ladylike option) and even paragliding to the ceremony! If you really want to make an entrance, then why not get married on Mont Blanc with the wedding party arriving by helicopter!

Being lucky enough to have parents who were crazy about skiing, my love for the mountains started when I was 4 years old on our first family ski holiday to Austrian ski resort of Obergurl. One ski holiday a year was never enough and tears rolled down my face as I looked out the back window of the car on the drive down the valley on the way home!
