Here’s how to put together a fun-filled multi-day celebration.
By: Lynne Kendall Lawson3. Winter Resort:
Spectacular scenery and winter sports add beauty and adventure to your wedding weekend events. Beyond drinks at the lodge, there’s skiing, horseback riding in the snow, hot-tubbing, snowmobiling and the resort’s spa to enjoy.
Menu Ideas:
Go full-on gourmet with confit lamb shoulder with caramelized fuji apples, cheesy spaetzle with poached eggs and black truffles, donuts with cinnamon-cardamom sugar, and pistachio ice cream affogato (topped with espresso).
"Add in soup shots and hot spiked toddies for a tasty winter-themed menu," Kristin Polhemus, event planner at Reverie Events in Hamilton New Jersey, says. “For dessert, I love a hot chocolate drinking station. Guests can choose classic hot chocolate, or they can add fun elements like peppermint, cinnamon or chipotle.”
Welcome Basket Ideas:
- Snowflake-motif mittens
- Fun knit ski hats or headbands
- Frosted coasters
- SPF lip balm
- Hot chocolate mix packets
- S’mores package of graham crackers, chocolate bars and marshmallows
- Locally brewed bottles of beer
