Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - December/January 2023/2024 (Issue 98)

HOT TOPIC: Winter vibes Our experts offer stellar advice on creating your own winter wonderland wedding BLOOMIN’ CHILLY Megan Troughton from Megan Lily Floral Design (www.meganlilyfloraldesign.co.uk) says: You may be worried that you won’t have a lot of choice for your winter wedding when it comes to the flowers. But, as a florist I love creating designs at this time of year and there are plenty of varieties to choose from. It’s all about delicate detail, textural berries and seed heads, and foliage when it comes to winter florals. I truly believe it’s the beautiful, natural qualities of seasonal flowers that add a touch of magic to wedding designs. Gorgeous winter flowers include ranunculus, anemones, hellebore, paper whites and heather. Plus, varieties such as roses, snapdragons and stocks are available all year round, and teamed with seasonal blooms create a beautiful wintry feel to your floral designs. It’s all about soft muted tones, beautiful white or deep dark reds at this time of year. Using colour is a wonderful way to add that winter look. Your floral designs are the perfect way to bring your chosen palette to all elements of your day; from your ceremony aisle, tables and cake, to your bouquets and buttonholes. SNOW QUEEN Krystle Worgan from Krystle Brides (www.krystlebrides.co.uk) says: In the darker months of winter, we think creating a look that sparkles for a wedding is just perfect. Imagine how twinkly you’ll look with candlelight bouncing off the sparkle of the Hollywood-inspired Anniston Lane gown by Maggie Sottero! Available with an incredible detachable ruffled overskirt, this dress has a truly romantic feel with a sassy and shimmering fishtail gown underneath to surprise all of your evening guests. Style it with sleek hair, a smoky eye and a simple veil for a truly sophisticated winter wedding look. 51 EXPERT ADVICE © Tasha Parker Photography
