What does a wedding stylist actually do? And how can they help you create your dream wedding?

Planning a wedding is a hugely daunting task and I often hear from my brides and grooms saying they feel overwhelmed. My job is to help you create a beautiful place for the ceremony and reception to take place.

I’m sure you’ve wondered how to turn a wedding into one of those Pinterest-perfect dreamscapes? That’s the magic of a wedding stylist – like me!

Think of me as a fairy godparent of the wedding world, sprinkling creativity and expertise to make your big day look and feel exactly as you’ve imagined.

So how do I decorate your wedding to make it stunning and memorable?

  1. Help you find your style. A wedding stylist is like a style guru for your wedding. I can help you translate your vision into reality, advising on everything from colours and themes to decorations and overall aesthetics. It’s like having a personal stylist for the most important day of your life!
  2. Set the mood. Have you ever been to a wedding where the atmosphere felt absolutely perfect? That’s the handiwork of a wedding stylist. I curate the vibe by selecting the perfect decorations, the all-important lighting, and even the arrangement of tables and chairs. Our goal is to create ambiance and set the mood for your wedding.
  3. Details, Details, Details: From the type of centrepiece on the tables, to the napkin and chair colours, I am all about the detail. I sweat the small stuff, so you don’t have to. It’s these details that turn an ordinary venue into a personalised haven that reflects you and your partners style.
  4. I’m your creative sidekick: Imagine me as your creative partner who can bring your ideas to life. That’s exactly what I do as a wedding stylist. I’m here to collaborate with you, offering suggestions, mapping out concepts, and making sure that every element aligns with your dream wedding vision.
  5. What about on the wedding day itself? When the big day arrives, I’m there on the day to ensure that everything looks picture-perfect. I work with your venue, florist, caterers, whatever wedding suppliers you’ve selected, to work behind the scenes, making sure that the everything is in place. The lighting sets the right mood, every corner of the venue – whether you’ve chosen balloons, backdrops, stationery, table plans, light-up letters, chair and table covers, blossom trees, table-centres – is in a perfect position and a beautiful reflection of your relationship story.

In a nutshell, I am your wedding stylist, your go-to person for turning your wedding dreams into a visual masterpiece. I going to bring that creativity, expertise, and a touch of magic to ensure that your special day is as beautiful as the love you share.

Introduction

We’re coming into the winter season, we’ve put together some ideas for those selecting a winter wedding, either this year or in 2024. While summer weddings may be the traditional choice, there’s something truly enchanting about saying “I do” in the season of winter.

The UK, with its picturesque landscapes and rich cultural heritage, provides an ideal backdrop for a magical winter wedding. In this blog, we’ll explore the unique charm and considerations that come with planning a winter wedding in the UK.

  • A Blanket of Elegance: The Winter Aesthetic

Winter paints the UK in a different palette – one of soft whites, deep greens, and muted greys. Venues like historic manors, rustic barns, and enchanting castles take on a special allure under a blanket of snow or against a backdrop of frost-covered trees. Utilise nature’s wintry beauty to enhance the genuine romantic atmosphere. Where we understand rain can play a big part, we can help make sure that you’re ready for anything the weather throws at you.

  • The Season of Intimacy

Winter weddings often lend themselves to smaller, more intimate gatherings. With the nights drawing in, there’s a natural pull towards cozy, candlelit celebrations. This does create a more intimate atmosphere immediately and your guests will feel super special to attend.

  • Warmth in Every Detail

Embrace the colder temperatures by incorporating warmth into your wedding décor. Consider offering cozy blankets, hot beverage stations like mulled wine or hot cocoa, and inviting lounge areas with plush seating and roaring fires.

  • Festive Flavours and Seasonal Delights

Winter brings with it an abundance of seasonal culinary delights. Consider a menu featuring hearty dishes like roast meats, root vegetables, and comforting, classic British desserts. Embrace traditional Christmas fare like mince pies and yule logs, or get creative with winter-inspired flavours like cinnamon, cranberry, and ginger. All of these wonderful scents can be incorporated into your table decorations and floral arrangements.

  • Dress the Part: Bridal Attire for Winter Wonder

A winter wedding allows for luxurious fabrics and accessories that might be too heavy for a summer affair. Think long-sleeved gowns, faux fur wraps, and intricate beading. Grooms can opt for rich, textured fabrics like velvet or tweed, paired with warm, woolen accessories.

  • Twinkling Lights and Candlelit Magic

With shorter days and longer nights, winter weddings offer the perfect canvas for lighting magic. Incorporate fairy lights, candles, and lanterns to create a warm and enchanting atmosphere. Consider using them to highlight architectural features, line pathways, and adorn tables for an ethereal effect.

  • Winter Blooms and Foliage

While fresh blooms may be less abundant, winter offers its own unique array of flora. Incorporate seasonal flowers like amaryllis, hellebore, and evergreen foliage into your floral arrangements. Deep, rich colours like burgundy, deep reds, and forest greens can create a striking visual contrast against the winter landscape.

 

A winter wedding in the UK is a truly magical experience, filled with romance, intimacy, and the beauty of the season. From the picturesque backdrops to the cozy atmospheres, there’s a unique charm that sets it apart. With careful planning and attention to detail, your winter wedding can be a celebration that leaves lasting memories for both you and your guests. Embrace the magic of winter and create a day that’s truly unforgettable.
