HOT TOPIC Our local experts solve your wedding dilemmas BERRY BEAUTIFUL We’re getting married in November and would like our flowers to reflect the season. Do you have any suggestions? To reflect the changing season from autumn to winter we would suggest working with darker tones and plenty of textures. Using different winter foliage, berries, dahlias and roses would create a beautiful seasonal feel to your special day. Elizabeth Webster | Elizabeth Grace Floral Design www.elizabethgracefloraldesign.co.uk FESTIVE FINDS We’re looking for a venue that will be able to help us achieve our Christmas-themed wedding. What should we ask the wedding team before booking? So many couples dream of a Christmas wedding, with a wonderful winter feel having the snow falling around you and all the beautiful features covered with a white blanket of snow. Although every dream can turn into a nightmare if you don’t choose the right venue for your special day. Will we be cold if we book in winter? Some venues such as Spicer Manor, may have underfloor heating throughout. Check if the venue has firepits, these are perfect to snuggle around with heat holding blankets to keep lovely and cosy. What if it rains? At Spicer, we supply pretty, transparent umbrellas for you and your guests to ensure you won’t ruin any stunning suits, dresses or hairstyles. What if it snows? Check the venue is well equipped with snow shovels to clear any walkways needed to make everything safe for guests. The perfect addition for a Christmas themed wedding has to be fairylights, You can also discuss Christmas decorations with your wedding coordinator to finish off your festive theme perfectly.
