Winter wedding shoot at Bradstone Manor

Rich tones, opulent textures and a luxe grazing table sets the scene for a romantic winter wedding in Devon

Deep in the west Devon countryside, the aged stone walls and rustic charm of Bradstone Manor serve as an atmospheric canvas for a cosy and oh-so romantic seasonal celebration.

Rich shades of red, burgundy, blue and violet lend themselves beautifully to a winter wedding, particularly one in such a time-honoured setting. Metallic accents bring the rich colours to life: gold charger plates, gold-rimmed glassware and gold crockery shimmer in the candlelight while arrangements of seasonal blooms and crushed velvet add lush texture and colour to the rustic table and character-filled barn setting. Festive cheer comes in the form of felt deer, robin and owl figurines, and stationery marrying red berries with shades of gold and green.

A styling statement in itself, the artfully arranged grazing table echoes the palette, while the copper frame and neon light bring a modern edge to the scene, framing the luxurious, flower-filled cake.

The bride completes the picture, the soft lines and flowing detailing of the dress, the trailing tendrils of hair and elegant makeup adding grace and ethereal beauty to this dream of a winter wedding.
