There's something deeply romantic about a wedding in the heart of winter: the sumptuous colours and twinkling accents; the warming drinks and decadent feasts served on lavishly dressed tables; the flicker of candlelight and crackling open fires as night falls.
This styled shoot celebrates the magic of the season with styling that oozes opulence and individuality. A palette of deep red and blue blends beautifully with shimmers of gold and peacock feather teal, carrying from the showstopping balloon display to the exquisite cake, adorned with intricately crafted blooms and golden leaves. Then there's the lavish tablescape, its abundant foliage dotted with peacock feathers and golden baubles, the warm glow of candlelight heightening the sense of romance.
The fashions echo the modern and eye-catchingly individual aesthetic. Although now an all-year-round choice for style-savvy grooms, winter is the ultimate season to don a sharp dinner suit; a deep blue tailcoat also makes a sophisticated and fittingly formal statement for the stately home setting, while a grey tweed ensemble nods to a more relaxed, country gent vibe.
Speckled with faceted stones which sparkle in the candlelight, the sleeved Willowby by Watters gown is an effortlessly beautiful look for fashion-forward winter brides. The plunging lace gown ' accessorised with a glittering crown and lace boots ' looks dreamily beautiful, while, the clean lines of the Jesus Peiro gown offer sleek, contemporary bridal drama, perfectly accessorised with a birdcage veil and ruby red lips. Against the flicker of candlelight, it is a captivating, contemporary and oh-so romantic scene.
