Winter wonderland wedding inspiration

December and the festive season of Christmas is not that far away now (sorry to all you Scrooges out there!), and so I think it is about time I start sharing the winter holiday joy through some inspirational photos!

I am a December Bride, and so I have been looking for inspirational photos to spur my imagination when organising my own wedding.

Winter is a time for rich, bold and punchy colours to be used within a colour scheme, and luckily this gives you quite a lot of choice! The colour most commonly used during this period is red; it is a bright, bold and festive colour which is perfect to add warmth to your decorations. However,Brides are also choosing to use blues, purples and golds to focus their colour scheme around; all which work perfectly during the winter months.

Here are some of the images I’ve fallen in love with whilst planning my own big day!

I cannot wait to get married next winter!

I want snow (only a light dusting, not country-wide crazyness snow), faux fur shrugs, frosty trees and lots and lots of candles!

I personally am having gold and chocolate brown as my wedding colour scheme; its warm and cosy, yet luxurious at the same time, and works perfectly with our venue which has lots of exposed wooden beams. The chairs we’ll be using to seat guests are burgundy red, so this will inject a little extra warmth and depth into the colour scheme.

If I could only choose one photo to express my wedding theme it would be this one… <3

15 months yesterday..

In 14 months, 3 weeks and 6 days I will be a married woman!!

It seems like such a long time away, but in the grand scheme of things it is really not! How exciting!!

Plans are coming along well; the venue is booked,  the date and time arebooked with the registrar, thank you presents and some of my accessories have been bought, the guest list is written and our save the date cards are ready to be sent out in the New Year! It’s all coming along quite nicely!

The next things to sort out are  reserving the photographer and DJ…

Wedding websites

When I first told Mr M I was in the process of making us a ‘wedding website’ he actually laughed. However, when I showed him how useful they can be, and how much information can be uploaded on there so not to clutter the invitations, he was actually very impressed.

There are many different versions of wedding websites; some are better than others. These are just a couple of the ones I’ve found:

• gettingmarried.co.uk
• weddingpath.co.uk

I chose to use getting married.co.uk because I randomly came across a website created by a couple who married at the same venue as we shall be, in November last year!

You can upload photos, create wedding party profiles, have an online gift list, give information about transport and local accommodation, plus loads more! And best of all, the ‘basic version’ (which actually isn’t very basic) is totally FREE!!

You can even personalise the web address with your names; for example, johnandkate@getting married.co.uk, and make it totally YOU!!

Despite originally being laughed at by Mr M, I am really pleased that I’ve created one for us; it’ll be particularly helpful nearer the time when things start getting finalised!

Oh, and I forgot to mention, you can even create an online RSVP facility for your guests to respond to online!!! How cool is that?! Save money on postage, save trees and paper versions and have all your responses in one place… Sounds genius to me!!

I’m still currently editing our one, but once its all done I might share the link with you..!
