How to create the perfect winter wedding
Warming Winter Stationary
Continue the theme onto wedding tables, with elegant place names edged with gold leaf. Everyone loves a place name to take home and use on the Christmas dinner table!
Styling your Space
Vibrant florals in reds provide drama and impact. Choose a few glorious seasonal blooms – carnations, poinsettia, anemones, ranunculus and dahlias are some of our favourites – but don’t forget tulips and use faux blooms if you have a favourite you can’t live without. Foliage adds texture to any bouquet, and the addition of seedheads and trailing stems and blooms are wonderful for winter. Don’t be afraid to ask your florist for ideas – they’ll know a hundred things about flowers and bouquets you’d never have dreamed were possible. Evergreens and lots of foliage teamed with white candles are perfect for a luxury winter wedding look.
Taste of Winter
Another aspect for food at the perfect winter wedding is a classic tiered white wedding cake – it’s perfect for a luxury winter wedding look. The gold detailing is a tiny, thoughtful touch which really makes it look special. Instead of cupcakes, smaller bakes are super cute and could be a creative way to cater for guests with special dietary requirements.
What to Wear
Choose a dress with sleeves to keep a little warmer… but be creative with styles! This boho style dress has all the pretty details and is perfect for a winter wedding. The silhouette is elegant and graceful, just right for a modern winter wedding. You can even add a crown if you want to create some drama with your wintery wedding look. A beautiful wrap or faux fur stole can keep you warm whilst also enabling you to explore the grounds of your venue for those beautiful wintry images.
Cosy winter evenings are what winter weddings are all about. Find a venue with real fires, plenty of candlelight or twinkling fairy light canopies, and bring in cosy blankets or even a hot chocolate or mulled wine bar for your guests to enjoy in the evening. Ask your photographer to capture some relaxed images through the evening.
