Winter weddings in the Colorado mountains have a magic all their own: snow on the pines, candlelight, warm drinks and guests in their best sweaters and coats. A photo booth fits right in. Here are ideas to make it feel seasonal.
Cozy backdrops
- Birch branches with warm string lights.
- Snowy pine garland or a winter forest scene.
- A deep velvet color like burgundy, emerald or navy.
- A big window with a snowy view, if your venue has one.
Winter props
- Vintage ski goggles, knit beanies and scarves.
- Faux-fur stoles and earmuffs.
- Mini skis or snowshoes as wall décor.
- “Let it snow” or “Baby, it’s cold outside” signs.
Glam for formal winter weddings
Black-and-white portraits look stunning against winter fashion. A Glam Booth is a natural pick for a candlelit ballroom in Aspen or Vail.
Keep logistics simple
- Set the booth inside, near the fireplace or bar, rather than on a snowy patio.
- Leave extra travel time. Mountain passes can close, so ask your vendors about their winter driving plans.
- Have a coat check nearby so guests can take photos without bulky jackets, or with them on for a fun snowy look.
Holiday crossover
December weddings can borrow from the holidays: ornaments, a small tree, or a cocoa bar right next to the booth.
