Burgundy and Tweed Wedding Styling

This post Burgundy and Tweed Wedding Styling first appeared on The Wedding Community Blog

Tweed is really on trend for weddings and looks great all year round, but particularly if you are having an autumn or winter wedding. We love burgundy and tweed together for winter weddings, and you could always mix this up with a little gold for more luxurious styling. Tweed (or even a tartan mix) is brilliant as a table runner, napkin holder, or even decorations made from material.

Here are some of our favourite burgundy and tweed wedding styling ideas.

How To Have A Stylish Christmas Wedding

Is it possible to have a stylish Christmas wedding?

Of course it is. If you are at all hesitant that it is not, then Style & the Bride is on hand to ensure you that it is! When it comes to planning a stylish Christmas wedding, you have to remember the word ‘stylish’ as well as the word ‘Christmas.’ Just because you are planning on having a wedding around Christmas doesn’t mean it has to be overly themed. However, you will of course want to highlight that you are having a ‘Christmas’ style wedding, but the key to doing this is keeping it subtle. Don’t allow anyone to convince you that reds and greens are the colours to choose if you are having a Christmas wedding. These are obviously ‘Christmassy’ colours, but here at Style & the Bride, we much prefer a palette of white/gold/silver, in other words metallics. Rather than hang a Christmas tree at your reception, we like the idea of having 6ft white Manzanita trees that can be used for entrances, walkways or backdrops (available to hire from Twilight Hire). If you would prefer smaller height trees for your reception tables, they also have 3ft ones available.

When it comes to your bridal gown for a Christmas wedding, you can of course opt for a dress in traditional white or ivory. However, if you do want to choose something a little bit different, we love the idea of a wedding dress in pale gold or a gown with a touch of sparkle like the gown (below) by Jenny Packham. I would love to hear from you if you are having a Christmas wedding, so do email at marina@styleandthebride.co.uk

Christmas wedding inspiration

Nobody says you have to wear a long sleeved dress for a Christmas wedding. I adore this dress with a touch of sparkle by Jenny Packham.

Jimmy Choo’s ‘Anouk’ nude shadow coarse glitter fabric pumps are a must for a Christmas wedding, surely?

How fab is this oh so stylish ‘Mojito’ Christmas cracker by Bath House, Not On The High Street, perfect for a Christmas wedding favour?

A Christmas wedding needs a foil invitation, and we love this ‘Pure Gold’ ‘Script Invitation by The Foil Invite Co.

How gorgeous is this cake by Olofson Design? It would work beautifully for a Christmas wedding.

How stunning is this 3ft Manzanita Tree from Twilight Hire, perfect for your wedding reception tables?

A Colourful Wedding on Nantucket Island

This post A Colourful Wedding on Nantucket Island first appeared on The Wedding Community Blog

We get so excited when we see an outdoor wedding, especially one that overlooks the sea; so imagine our excitement when Katie Kaizer Photography sent us the incredible pictures of Hillary and Athe’s beautiful wedding on Nantucket Island!

With a stunning floral arch, pretty white chairs and THAT view, this couple’s wedding ceremony looks so sweet – and if you think that’s great just wait until you see how they styled their wedding reception!

We love everything about this wedding; from the totally amazing Vera Wang wedding dress and the bright colours of the wedding flowers, to the cool fire pit for the guests to gather around after dark…

“Athe and I met at Harvard Medical School in 2008, and have been dating for the past six years. We chose to have our wedding on Nantucket Island because it is our favourite place to relax and spend time together without distraction. The incredible natural beauty of the island is what we love most, and it was the perfect backdrop for our celebration.

“We were married overlooking the gorgeous coastline of Nantucket and the big, blue ocean; the venue gives an absolutely stunning view of this unique part of the island. The bridesmaids wore gorgeous coral colour dresses that looked amazing with the beautiful bouquets.

“Our favourite part of the wedding was having friends and family from all over the world and all parts of our lives together in one place to join in the celebration. The toasts at our rehearsal dinner and at our wedding were also incredibly thoughtful and a highlight of the entire experience for both of us.”
