HOT TOPIC Our experts offer stellar wedmin advice on creating an elegant winter wedding A TOUCH OF FROST Vicki Endersby from Wonderland Blooms (www.wonderlandblooms.uk) says: To infuse an elegant winter vibe into your wedding flowers, first consider some key elements. Embrace rich, regal colours such as burgundy, deep greens, navy, and plum for a cosy winter feel. Incorporate textural elements too, for example velvet ribbons, faux fur wraps or metallic accents for added luxury. Meanwhile, include evergreen foliage like pine, cedar, and eucalyptus to achieve a winter forest vibe, complete with a touch of gold or silver metallic accents to create a sense of opulence. Alternatively, to mimic the glistening frost of winter, incorporate crystal elements or sparkling accessories. You might even consider a light dusting of artificial snow or iridescent glitter for a frosty touch. If a rustic vibe is more your thing, go ultra seasonal with red berries and pine cones. Finally, candlelit décor is a must when creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, so combine with your floral arrangements to achieve the full effect. By blending any of these elements you and your floral designer can create wedding flower arrangements that exude the elegance and magic of a winter wonderland, making your special day one to remember.
