Christmas wedding inspiration

"As the summer slipped away and the wedding season began to slow down, I wanted to embrace the colder months and channel my creativity into organising a wintery styled photo shoot," says wedding planner & coordinator Jen Polkinghorn from Weddings Made in Cornwall, who orchestrated this special seasonal shoot.

"I'm a big lover of Christmas so wanted red, greens and gold, berries and pine cones, together with that lovely feeling of cosiness. Burncoose House fitted my brief perfectly as not only is it a beautiful country home, it provides the warmth and welcoming space for a wonderful winter wedding."

Whether you wish to invite the outdoors in with foliage, flowers and seasonal decor for an au naturel look to your day or host a Christmas-themed party to reflect your love of each other and yuletide during a double celebration, this enchantingly styled editorial should provide ample food for thought.

From the delicately painted cake to the gold tableware and gorgeous stationery, every element was considered to create the aesthetic - including the romantic bridal wear, as Jen explains: "I particularly wanted the warmth of a winter wedding to extend to the bridal wear - something unique with colour; which is why I approached Kyla from Roamer Rose," who supplied the striking berry red ensemble as the shoot's outfit du jour.
