Winter wedding inspiration with festive touches!

There's something deeply romantic about a wedding in the heart of winter: the sumptuous colours that glint among twinkling lights; the warming drinks and decadent feasts served amid a backdrop of candlelight and crackling open fires as night falls.

We're thrilled to feature a gorgeous styled shoot, Winter Wonder, that celebrates the magic of the season in our latest Cornwall issue with styling that oozes opulence and individuality. A palette of rich red and blue blends beautifully with shimmers of gold and peacock feather teal, carrying from the show-stopping balloon display to the exquisite cake, and the lavish tablescape with its abundant foliage dotted with peacock feathers and golden baubles.

Winter is the ultimate season to don a sharp dinner suit; the groom's deep blue tailcoat makes a sophisticated and fittingly formal statement for the stately home setting, while a grey tweed ensemble nods to a more relaxed, country gent vibe.  

And then there's the bride. Bejewelled with faceted stones that sparkle in the candlelight, the sleeved Willowby by Watters gown is an effortlessly beautiful look for fashion-forward winter brides. The plunging lace gown ' accessorised with a glittering crown and lace boots ' looks dreamily beautiful, while the clean lines of the Jesus Peiro gown offer sleek, contemporary bridal drama, perfectly accessorised with a birdcage veil and ruby red lips. Against the flicker of candlelight, it is a captivating and contemporary scene, one that captures the romance of a winter celebration.
