Photo by Patty Brutlag, Petula Pea PhotographyJune weddings will always have their place, but more and more brides are opting for a wedding in the winter. And why not? During wedding “off-season,” venues and services are often cheaper, which means accomplishing that Pinterest-worthy wedding of your dreams is suddenly more affordable.If your Pinterest boards are a contrasting mix of the deep, romantic colors of a winter wedding and the cool breeziness of summer nuptials, choosing the location and date of your wedding could prove a little complicated. Luckily, a winter wedding in Del Mar may just be the answer. Del Mar’s coastal location and Mediterranean climate allow brides to have an outdoor, seaside wedding any time of the year.Here are five reasons a winter wedding in Del Mar will make all your Pinterest followers swoon:

Breathtaking Beach Views

Brides and grooms (and even those without upcoming nuptials) flock to Del Mar year-round because of the amazing beaches and ocean views. So many of the city’s venues and restaurants are seaside and/or offer incredible views of the Pacific Ocean. And while Del Mar is known for its plentiful sunshine, even a beach wedding on a gray day can be gorgeous.

Perfect Weather

The biggest hiccup to planning a winter wedding (in most places) is unpredictable weather and freezing temperatures. But in Del Mar, you can have a wedding in the middle of winter and have the same sunshine most places have only in the summer. Del Mar has nearly perfect weather year-round, and even in the middle of winter, guests may only need a light jacket.

It’s a One-Stop-Shop

A stress-free wedding planning experience may not translate to a Pinterest board, but it’s probably one of the most coveted goals. If you choose Del Mar as your destination, you can breeze through planning because everything is in the Village. You can find all the vendors you need to make your day very special—from rings, to flowers, to invitations, and of course restaurants, and accommodations. All your wedding planning and preparation is conveniently and entirely located within the quaint and picturesque Del Mar Village.

A Menu to Remember

For some couples, the food and menu are a big deal. Not only is Del Mar known for its beaches and weather, it’s also known for its incredible food and dining. Just about any of Del Mar’s favorite restaurants can cater or host an exceptional rehearsal dinner. If you want the cuisine to be a highlight of your wedding, the Village offers a wide variety of award-winning restaurants, any of which will work with you to create a menu you’ll be more than happy with.

Unique Venues

The venues around Del Mar each have standout features that make them unique, and every one of them offers gorgeous views of the ocean. You can say “I do” with your toes in the sand or on a deck overlooking the water, and then have the reception under the stars or back in the warmth of an inside space. For the most part, the venues can be personalized to accommodate larger parties or more intimate affairs, so you can design a ceremony and reception that really encompasses your dreams.Some of the most-booked locations in Del Mar are:
