There's nothing like a white wedding. Whether you wake up on the big day to six feet of snow or see a flurry as you enter the venue, there's a magical component to all that sparkling white. And when it comes to spectacular wedding photos, snow virtually guarantees an awe-inspiring natural backdrop. 

Take the following photos from real winter weddings, for example. With everything from gentle sprinkles to full-blown blizzards in the backgrounds, these couples' wintry nuptials were made even more beautiful by snow. To get that perfect shot, some duos braved the cold and posed coat-free in the swirly white. Others huddled together for warmth, prompting the sweetest candids. Our favorite newlyweds gathered their friends and families outside with chunky blankets, so they could exchange vows surrounded by snowflakes. The final result? Let's just say that these incredible moments just might change how you think about winter weddings. 

With these photos in mind, we're confident that winter just might upset summer as the most popular time of year to tie the knot. Nothing against warmer-weather celebrations, of course, but there's just no sunny equivalent to snow. And when it comes to wedding symbolism, you can't beat an impromptu snowfall. The world becomes a blank slate of white—the perfect chance for a fresh, clean, and pure start. Click through to see all of these couple's snowiest wedding photos. If you're planning a cold-weather fête, these images might have you praying for snow. We know we are.
