It’s time to break free from the conventional notion that wedding blogs are only worthy of featuring winter weddings during the cold winter months As it turns out, there are numerous couples planning their own enchanting winter nuptials right now – and I’m here to celebrate them Take Heather and Tom’s romantic winter wedding, for instance This delightful celebration was a masterclass in elegance, individuality, and unadulterated joy.
One can’t help but feel a pang of FOMO upon witnessing the couple’s special day Heather exuded sophistication in her show-stopping Ian Stuart wedding gown, perfectly complemented by an intricate updo hairstyle Meanwhile, Tom made a dashing groom with his unique buttonhole – a clever design featuring steel-colored grass shaped like scissors, paying homage to his profession as a hairdresser.
The winter-inspired floral arrangement, comprising a charming medley of berries and pastel blooms, harmonized seamlessly with the opulent ballroom at The George in Rye Dottie Photography did an outstanding job of capturing the romance, personal touches, and playful essence of their special day.
From The Bride…
Our wedding was an enchanting blend of modern sophistication and vintage charm, with a festive Christmas twist While it was stylish without being too formal, our celebration was quintessentially romantic and infused with an infectious sense of fun We’re still beaming from the sheer joy of having shared the best day of our lives together.
The little touches that made it truly special included a wedding quiz to keep guests engaged, surprise performances by singing waiters, adorable baby photo displays featuring all our loved ones, and a spirited bridesmaid-groomsmen dance-off – all of which combined to create an unforgettable experience.
The Flowers
Our choice of florist, Cafe Des Fleurs in Rye, exceeded our expectations with the stunning creations they produced My bouquet was truly breathtaking, and the candelabras wrapped in lush foliage and twinkling fairy lights added an extra touch of elegance to the arrangements We opted for amnesia roses, which seemed fitting given my connection to the Steeke family and my husband’s Berry heritage – a clever nod to our shared surname.
Décor & Details
The ambiance was set with a combination of soft candlelight, twinkling fairy lights, and sweet-scented potpourri The room’s aesthetic was further elevated by lush greenery, while the majestic Christmas tree stood tall above it all Adding a touch of whimsy were table settings named after iconic quotes from Friends As for favors, guests received thoughtful treats including Nails inc nail polishes in soothing shades like Porchester Square and Green and Black’s rich, velvety chocolates.
