The shift to from summer weddings has been attributed to the economic situation as couples prefer to cut costs on receptions.
Winter weddings have risen by up to 15 per cent.
They now account for more than 30 per cent of all marriages in Britain.
Belinda Hanks, editor of Confetti, the online bridal store and magazine, told The Telegraph: "One of the main factors behind this has been pressure on budgets.
"With the economy the way it is, couples are realising that if they go for a winter wedding they can get a much better deal.
"You can shave down your budget by around a quarter if you marry in winter through savings on venue hire and catering – you’re talking about thousands of pounds.
"This has been a growing trend over the last couple of years."
