HOT TOPIC Winter vibes Our experts offer stellar wedmin advice on creating an elegant winter wedding SIGHTS, SOUNDS AND SMELLS Steph Pringle, weddings and events manager at The Manor, Greasby (https://themanorgreasby.co.uk) says: So much about the colder months can inspire your wedding day with added romance. Embrace the unique charm of winter and you can make your occasion as warm and inviting as it is elegant. Rich feature colours used as accents in your wedding décor can bring a romantic warmth to your big day. Contrast deep tones such as forest green or burgundy with white and gold accents to evoke a cosy winter feel. Amplify this inviting atmosphere and make your palette shine by adding plenty of candlelight to your décor for a winter-inspired ambience. There may be a chill in the air, but that doesn’t mean you can’t embrace the outdoors during your big day. Think eucalyptus, waxflower and pine as key foliage to bring the outside into your styling. Plus, if your chosen venue has an outdoor space such as a courtyard or garden area, why not transform it into an al-fresco hub for your guests with twinkling fairylights, comfy seating and thick blankets, not to mention a few heat lamps or even a firepit? Serve a hot reception drink such as mulled wine or Bailey’s hot chocolate in your very own wedding-day winter wonderland. 52
