Winter Wedding at Tullyglass Hotel
There’s something truly magical about a winter wedding at Tullyglass Hotel. The golden light, crisp air, and festive atmosphere all come together to create a day that’s cosy, elegant, and unforgettable. If you’re considering tying the knot in the colder months, let me walk you through what makes winter weddings so special—especially at one of Northern Ireland’s most loved venues.
Why Choose a Winter Wedding?
While summer weddings get all the spotlight, winter weddings have their own charm. The soft winter light is flattering for photos, and the mood is romantic and calm. Here are a few reasons why couples fall in love with winter weddings:
Beautiful natural light – lower sun means soft, golden hour vibes all day long.
Festive décor – think fairy lights, candles, rich florals and cosy textures.
More availability – vendors and venues are often more flexible in winter.
Elegant fashion – winter dresses, velvet jackets, capes and wraps look incredible.
Of course, there are a few things to plan for—like shorter daylight hours and unpredictable weather. But with a little smart planning (and a photographer who knows how to work quickly and naturally in any conditions), it can be the most atmospheric time of year to say "I do".

Planning Tips for a Winter Wedding at Tullyglass Hotel
Time your ceremony early – natural light fades quickly in winter, so aim for early afternoon.
Have a backup indoor photo plan – luckily, Tullyglass has beautiful interiors with great light.
Warm drinks and winter menus – mulled wine, hot chocolate stations, and hearty meals go down a treat.
Embrace seasonal styling – candles, greenery, and gold tones work beautifully.
