56 WINTER WINDS Rebecca says, “Although florals are abundant, foliage is also a great way of styling a space over the winter. I try to create layers of interest so you don’t have a flat horizon. A floating foliage installation is fairly cost-effective and can create an incredible feature above the dancefloor. Add a few fairylights, and you have a magical design.” Kate says, “Think about candlelight as it gets dark around 3 pm. While a taper candle looks amazing when first lit, they get shorter and black wax is all too common. So go LED to keep that wow factor for your evening guests too. Add a neon sign to add a pop of light to brighten up a dark corner.” Caroline says, “Incorporate romantic dusty pinks to add elegance, slate grey for a sophisticated modern look or deep jewel tones for added depth to the venue. Use accents of gold to add a touch of luxury or shimmering silvers for a slightly cooler tone. Use an abundance of candles in fireplaces, on the tables, aisle, walkways, windows and around floral displays or signage.” Anne says, “Add a lounge area with comfy sofas, armchairs, rugs and blankets to let guests relax with a blanket and a warm drink. Offer guests the option of hot chocolate, mulled wine or cider to enjoy and embrace the festivities.” Rebecca says, “Reds are everywhere seasonally, but it doesn’t mean your wedding needs to look like a Christmas wonderland. Burgundy tones can be softened with light pink metallic tones to create a warmer feel this time of year. Muted gold accents for votives and candle holders are great for creating elegant tablescapes to wow your guests.” CHECK OUT THE SUPPLIERS INVOLVED Kate Bolton, The Little Details Company, www.thelittledetailscompany.co.uk | Caroline Bishop, Caroline Siân Weddings & Events, www.carolinesianweddings.co.uk | Anna Garner-Currie, Marauders, www.marauders.co.uk| Rebecca Dawson, Albert & Indigo, www.albertandindigo.co.uk www.kategrayphotography.com www.romylawrencephotography.com https://kinga-wye-photography.squarespace.com www.samburgephotography.co.uk
