64 www.theweddingguideuk.com A WINTER WEDDING Fairy lights and sparkles, candle lit ceremonies, smells of cinnamon and pine, open log fires and snow on the ground - just what every Brides pictures if they have their heart set on a winter wedding. Getting married over the Christmas and New Year festive period can be great. You have a fair idea what the weather will be like and you and your guests can choose beautiful capes, coats and fur-trimmed hoods accordingly - unlike our British summertime when a Bride hopeful of sunshine can get anything from a heat wave to hailstorms! Venues promoting festive weddings may offer open log fires, warming mulled wine or hot toddies on arrival and little touches like mini mince pies as canapés and hearty, traditional broths for your meal. Couples can often benefit from the venue’s own Christmas decorations and some places will refresh candles in their own festive hurricane lamps and fireplace arrangements so they look brand new for your big day. Christmas trees and staircase garlands add to the beauty of winter weddings and traditional bold colours like deep reds, greens, antique gold and bronze can look amazing as wedding colour schemes. Only a small word of caution: when choosing your wedding venue, especially if you are wishing for snow, think about access should your wish come true. Late December and January through to February can bring quite adverse weather conditions. Think about how close the main roads are or if the winding roads up to your country estate are kept clear by local councils. There is no point planning the country house winter wedding of your dreams if you and your guests can’t get there! At the end of your snowy, sparkly, cinnamon infused day, how about snuggling up in front of an open fire with the last of your guests and enjoying a plate of cookies and a measure of Baileys to celebrate your great, wintery wedding! HORTON GRANGE How about this for a bit of drama! Captured by Stephen Beecroft Photography at Horton Grange Country House, this dramatic image showcases some of the stunning outside space at this exclusive-use venue. SCARBOROUGH SPA What a setting!! Scarborough Spa is a seaside wedding venue located in South Bay, Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Nestled on the beautiful coast, this unique venue boasts spectacular sea views for your ceremony, reception and evening celebrations.
