Christmas Wedding Inspiration: Real Weddings

As much of England is still covered in a blanket of white I thought I’d post some photos and links to some lovely weddings in the snow to inspire your day…

Christmas Wedding Inspiration: DIY

Today I've put together some links to DIY projects that are perfect for your wedding and could easily be adapted to have around at Christmas.


I do like using baby’s breath at weddings (as seen in my baby's breath floral inspiration), how lovely are these garlands with little hanging paper birds. DIY tutorial here via Once Wed



A simple DIY centrepiece idea that can be easily personalised with different motifs, wood and wool colour choices and flowers. I think they’d also make fab little table numbers. For the complete DIY tutorial here via the Wedding Chicks, photo by Julie Harmsen Photography



Something about dried fruit and dates in particular always make me think of Christmas, one of those things that always seem to pop up in the house at this time of year. A perfect little favour idea for a Christmas wedding that’s easy to do: DIY tutorial here via the fab new 100 Layer Cake website.



Lovely little DIY paper lanterns; hang them along the path to your venue or have them dotted around just outside the windows. If you’re worried about the tealights burning out too quickly or over safety you can always use LED tealights. DIY tutorial here via Design *Sponge

Christmas Wedding Inspiration: Table décor

A little inspiration for your Christmas wedding or maybe just a few fab ideas to dress your table on Christmas day.

This has been on a few US blogs over the last few days but as I love the floral designs of JL Designs,  I couldn’t resist posting it here.

A simple white on white colour scheme with touches of ice blue, so effortlessly elegant.

I do love the combination of aqua & red and it makes a lovely change from your usual Christmas red combos. I especially like the lovely Christmas baubles used in this table arrangement.


How are you decorating your table on Christmas day? Last year I did an all silver table but this year I’m going a little more rustic with some lovely pine cones I collected in the Spring combined with red roses and gold charger plates-maybe this time I’ll remember to take a photo too…

A fab little Christmas idea…Tree of Memory

Sweet Paul is in the midst of his annual Holiday countdown which is always full of great little ideas for Christmas from recipes to craft projects. I love this idea of using family photos to hang on the tree and I think it would look great at a Christmas wedding.



With Christmas round the corner there’s some great inspiration around for your Winter Wedding so leading up to Christmas I’ll be posting lots more to inspire from real weddings in the snow to cute little DIY projects…

Christmas Inspiration: Real Weddings in the Snow

Despite all this snow causing chaos on the roads, I do love winter weddings. I'll be looking forward to seeing the weddings that took place over the weekend in the coming weeks, but in the meantime check out these real weddings

Love the way the violet bridesmaids’ dresses stand out in the snow…

This was a lovely inimate wedding with very personal details and oh my ...the dress…a 1947 New Look inspired wedding outfit designed by the bride and a friend that can be worn again and again...



I originally found this wedding when I was looking at coloured shoes, which by the way are the most amazing green feathered Louboutin’s, it’s a beautiful wedding with lots of lovely details from feather hairpieces, succulent floral arrangements to lovebird cake toppers

And if you can’t have you wedding in the snow, how about your engagement photos

Christmas Inspiration: DIY projects

Feeling creative? Here are some festive DIY projects that could be incorporated into your wedding.


Love these great DIY Gift wraps, would look great on a winter wedding table as wrapping for favours, perhaps some locally sourced boxed sweet treat, or add a name tag and use as place settings wrapped round a napkin..





An easy way to personalise simple candleholders which can then be used to adorn cosy winter fireplaces




I think these little trees would make cute table centres at a Christmas wedding, you could use the star to number the table.





There are some great tutorials on DIY wreaths, I just love this one not only does it look like fluffy snow but is easy to make, cheap and would make a cute addition to your wedding décor

Christmas Inspiration: Winter Wedding Inspiration Boards

A small selection of some of my favourite Winter Wedding Inspiration boards


Love the pink poinsettias in this board, who says they always have to be red, delicate and simple.

With so many to choose from on the Perfect Palette’s ‘25 Days of Christmas’ it should have been a difficult choice but how could I resist a board of red and grey, after all they are Always Andri colours, and I so want those shoes-the perfect dark red.

Winter weddings are a great background for strong colours and I’m loving purple for weddings right now so how about this French fantasy.
