\"Fireplace<\/p>\n

Oh the grandeur, the opulence and the pure elegance we have for you to view today. What an absolute treat this wedding ideas<\/a> editorial is, and just so perfect<\/em> for this wintery festive season too!<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the fabulous fireplace winter wedding centrepiece<\/a>, the perfect backdrop for our couple, with a magnificent flower installation, climbing up into the mantelpiece and adorned with candles. I am sure it created a real atmosphere to the room. Wow.<\/p>\n

The bride wore two beautiful gowns, one pale blue and the other featuring a stripe, both perfect for the setting. While the groom donned a velvet jacket and bow tie. Velvet is a key element to this shoot, with velvet ribbons and velvet cloth used throughout.<\/p>\n

The tablescape was laden with rich red and pink flowers, delicate stationery, mini cakes, candles and tableware. There was also an epic stone inspired blue grey cake complete with gold embellishment, a cool contrast to the deep colour palette. Huge thanks goes to Becky Harley Photography<\/a> for sharing these sumptuous images with us, what a dream!<\/p>\n

Winter Luxe Wedding Ideas<\/h2>\n

Working together with a select group of fabulous suppliers, I was really excited to collaborate on this stunning wintery shoot recently.<\/p>\n

Making use of the incredible organisational skills of wedding planner Katie from Songbird Weddings, we organised this shoot in just over a month. The location was North Mymms Park, a stunning new venue in South Hertfordshire, recently opened for weddings and events.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Navy<\/p>\n

North Mymms Park is a magnificent Grade I listed Elizabethan mansion house set in 400 acres of parkland. There is a huge choice of location for weddings within the house, with a variety of beautiful rooms licensed for ceremonies indoors, as well as a lawn, which can accommodate large weddings in a marquee. Perhaps the most impressive space for an outdoor ceremony is the beautiful marble Loggia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We wanted the styling to focus on wintery tones, and incorporate rich colours and textures. The shoot was styled by Gemma from The White Emporium, and she wanted to bring a relaxed and natural feel to the setup to contrast with, but complement, the elegance and grandeur of North Mymms Park.<\/p>\n

The concept for the shoot was born after we visited the park and discovered the beautiful Loggia. Gemma wanted to channel the textures and exquisite detailing from the design of the Loggia into her styling.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Dress<\/p>\n

Our Bride wore two dresses. The first was a bespoke dress called Prism made by bridal designer Rachel Lamb Design. The dress consisted of pale blue silk chiffon with a circular tulle skirt and V-neck hand appliqued lace bodice.<\/p>\n

The second dress was a modern and luxurious statement dress from San Patrick called Altafulla, provided by Burr Bridal. The striped fabric in cascading layers along with the tightly fitted bodice and plunging neckline makes this dress both flattering and extravagant in equal measure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Bouquet<\/p>\n

For the first bridal look with Prism, Leah from Belles Beauty created a soft autumnal look with smouldering brown eyes and dark ruby lips to bring out the colours in the flowers.<\/p>\n

For the hair styling, Claire from Barberella Bridal wanted to ensure that the hair complemented the beautiful flowers on the flower crown with big soft romantic curls. She curled with alternating tong and wand to create a more natural type of wave. The headpiece was created by Love From Becky with layers of tonal flowers intertwined with delicately beaded leaves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The bridal bouquet by Rebecca Marsala Flowers was a classic posy style but looser with soft foliage at the edges for texture and movement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our groom was styled in a dinner suit from Chimney Formal Menswear, which we complemented with a deep blue velvet jacket sourced privately.<\/p>\n

Barberella Bridal styled the groom’s hair in an informal half-up man bun in order to achieve a relaxed but neat style.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of the most stunning features of North Mymms Park is the Grade I Listed Loggia and so it seemed the perfect place to display our chocolate and salted caramel wedding cake by Nina from Meadowsweet Cakes.<\/p>\n

Nina used moulding and stone effects in this three-tier cake to fit in with the Loggia surroundings, whilst the flowing gold sugar flowers gave it an ethereal look. The grey colouring of the cake ensured that the cake stood out from the neutral tones of the surroundings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Bride\"Dress<\/p>\n

With the Alta Fulla dress, Belles Beauty added depth to the eyes and used heavier eyeliner and a glossier lip to add a sophisticated twist. Barberella Bridal then created an elegant but loose and romantic up do.  She used loosened rope braids through the crown to create a soft texture and gather the curls at the nape with soft tendrils falling here and there.<\/p>\n

This look was accessorised with handmade silver bangles and a necklace from Coco Grey Jewellery, and luxury velvet heels from Rachel Simpson Shoes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
