A luxurious winter wedding, black tie with a twist!
December 15th, 2023
Winter wedding colour palette
Fitting for both a late autumn or winter wedding, this warm and rich colour palette consisted of tones of latte, caramel, soft pink, hints of midnight black and neutrals with accents of deep burgundy to add depth. Keeping the majority of the colour in the florals made the arrangements pop against a strong background of neutrals whilst striking black accessories added the definition needed to bring the design to life!
Textured styling
Nothing beats textured styling in the colder months. Layered table fabrics such as linen and chiffon like here, created an impactful base and added warmth and texture to an otherwise blank tablecloth. We teamed this with contrasting black smoked glassware with a ribbed finish to introduce another textured look into the table decor and offset the black velvet ribbon on the napkins perfectly!
The opulent winter fabric
Introduce velvet into your winter wedding for a luxurious, opulent feel. Whether it’s the ribbon on your bridal bouquet, the runners on your tables or the finishing touch to your napkins, this fabric is an excellent choice!
Elevate your black-tie dress code with something a little different, we loved the velvet suit worn by our model groom, Ehsan – guaranteed to raise the glam stakes for a standout winter wedding!
Staircase decor – Make your grand entrance!
If you’re lucky enough to be getting married at a venue with a feature focal staircase, think about how you want to make the most of this area and create an interior statement! Add intertwining florals and foliage into the banister or perhaps floor standing floral arrangements at the base of the stairs and complete with candlelight for those picture-perfect moments!
Delicate black details
We’re often asked how it’s possible to incorporate black into your wedding styling without it looking too heavy or out of place. Opt for delicate black details like these thin stemmed candlestick holders which will provide the contrast you’re looking for without taking away from the rest of the design.
Bringing subtle touches of black through into your stationery is another really effective way. Whether it’s in the font, a wax seal or a decorative tassel, pick a stationery suite that will coordinate with your styling seamlessly.
Winter wedding flowers
If you’re looking to add flowers into your winter styling, think about how you want the flowers to work for you. For example, are they to frame a particular space or are you looking for simple touches that will add pops of colour throughout. Working with floral arrangements at varying heights will draw the eye around the room, adding interest to the space. Carefully placed flower heads on your tables or within floating candle holders add an effortless beauty to your decor and will balance out larger feature displays.
A huge shout out to all of the talented suppliers that brought their “A” game to collaborate on this stunning photoshoot at Rise Hall in East Yorkshire, we had so much fun! A big thank you to Unveiled Magazine for asking us to be a part of this, it was a pleasure to work with you all!
