HOT TOPIC WINTER VIBES This issue we asked the county’s wedding suppliers for their top tips on creating an elegant winter wonderland wedding ROMANTIC GLOW Mercedes Gale from 4YaParty (www.4yaparty.co.uk) says: Nothing creates a winter vibe in a room more than candlelight. The warm glow really sets the tone for a romantic mood and makes everyone feel cosy. With a lot of venues opting to go flame-free due to safety and insurance restrictions, we have the solution in the form of realistic LED candles. These are sustainable and safe without compromising on that elegant winter vibe. We particularly like cylinder vases with pillar candles and tea lights in pretty crackle-effect holders, which let out the perfect amount of light. In our opinion, go overboard with the candlelight in the winter, whether that’s lining aisles and walkways or filling the table with an ambient glow, the more candlelight the better. www.jadegreenbrooke.com ELEGANCE AND CHARM Nicky Clements at Nicola Rose Weddings and Events (www.nicolaroseweddingsandevents.co.uk) says: You can start with your colour palette, and opt for something sophisticated such as deep burgundy, forest green, and shimmering gold or silver. These colours evoke the richness of the season and complement the natural winter surroundings. Pick fabulous winter florals like deep red roses, white peonies, and pine cones for your floral arrangements, these will not only look fabulous but smell wonderful. Adding candles and greenery can create a romantic and cosy atmosphere too. For a wintry touch, dress the wedding party in luxurious fabrics like velvet or silk. A beautiful shawl can keep the bride warm and add a touch of elegance. Now we get onto the décor. As it will be dark earlier on your wedding day, you’ll get to maximise the effect of all your candles. Also, use elements like crystal chandeliers, twinkling fairylights, and mirrored accents to create a wintry vibe indoors. By carefully curating these elements, you can transform your wedding day into a winter wonderland filled with elegance and charm, creating lasting memories for you and your loved ones. https://florenceberry.com EXPERT ADVICE 79
