Hygge is a Scandinavian word for a mood of coziness and comfort, enjoying calmness and celebrating the feeling of warmth, love, and intimacy. Hygge has become super popular as a source of home decor inspiration and as a lifestyle, too, and this trend is now entering the wedding world, and considering its definition – what can be better for an intimate wedding? Wanna know how to pull off such a wedding? Read these tips and take a look at some ideas.
Pick A Hygge Season
While spring and summer have their own ways of being hygge, autumn and winter are the perfect seasons for creating a warming and cozy feel to your wedding. Low temperatures, snow storms or pouring rain only increase that hygge feeling!
Choose A Proper Venue
Think rural barns or country houses with fireplaces and hyggekrogs (that’s a nook or snug). Fireplaces and fire bowls are a total must, you may even choose a fireplace for your wedding ceremony backdrop, this is a very cozy idea and the fireplace may be decorated in many very beautiful ways.

Get Right Decor And Atmospheric Lighting
Wooden decorations and natural décor overall are a perfect way to bring the outside in and celebrate your surroundings. There’s something incredibly comforting about vintage and shabby chic, so it makes perfect sense to include a vintage touch in your hygge wedding decor. Whether it’s in your outfit or your decorations, it’ll be a great addition.
Lights are an important part of venue decor and you should pay much attention to them – don’t make the light too bright to preserve that cozy feeling. The flickering flames of candles create a wonderfully relaxing and cozy environment and look great scattered around your venue or in table centerpieces. Fairy lights, lamps and lanterns will work well too.
