Christmas is fast approaching and engagement season will soon be upon us. It’s no surprise that so many couples get engaged and tie the knot over the festive period, with all the cosy hygge feels, twinkly lights and bonhomie.
A winter wedding can be whatever you want it to be. Whether you’re a traditionalist drawn to the classic red, green and gold or a snow-covered Narnia is more your inspiration, there’s nothing quite like the magic of a winter wedding. Let’s look at some of our winter wedding inspiration to help you create a wonderful winter celebration that is uniquely yours.
A candlelit winter wedding with white roses
A mass of white roses looks spectacular at any time of year but takes on a magical, somewhat ethereal feel in wintertime. Rachael and Travis’s stunning real wedding featured over 1,500 David Austin white roses to create a spectacular fairytale scene at Wheatleigh Estate, a luxury hotel in The Berkshires area of Massachusetts.
Leonora, Patience and Purity were displayed at every turn — on staircases and mantelpieces, the ceremony arch, tablescapes, and even hanging from the ceiling. Bride Rachael sourced a vintage 1950s Dior gown with a spectacular ballerina skirt, which together with the rose-filled candle-lit venue, is giving us all the festive whimsy reminiscent of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker.
Red and pink Dutch Masters wedding inspiration
If sumptuous rich tones and decadent textures is your winter vibe, take inspiration from this romantic editorial inspired by the world-renowned Dutch Masters. The combination of deep red Tess, pale pink Charity (with a pop of lime) and Constance creates a dramatic painterly effect with the elements of light and shade that this style of art is known for.
Combine the berry tones with tactile fabrics like velvet and silk, as well as accessories in deep green and antique gold for a beautiful luxe feel. The bride’s incredible off-the-shoulder pink Monique Lhuillier gown highlights the pink of Constance and is perfect for adding a luxurious dramatic effect.
Romantic red rose wedding in Paris
The colour of Christmas and a big trend for Autumn-Winter 2023, red is always a good idea. This stunning Paris wedding editorial is the epitome of classic elegance and timeless French style, and particularly fitting for a chic winter wedding over the festive period.
When displayed en masse, our voluminous red rose Tess represents the ultimate sumptuous luxury. With no green foliage or complementary flowers, all the focus is on the classic blooms and the romantic scene that they create.
Winter wonderland wedding inspiration
The idea of bringing the outside in is always a winner for winter weddings. This gorgeous winter editorial shows how combining natural elements like winter foliage, moss and pinecones with lush white roses and gold details creates an elevated organic look. With a stunning dress by Millia London that represents a snowy vibe, not much more is needed to create this simplistic winter wonderland.
