Baby It's Cold Outside
| Q | We're getting married this winter and want to transform our venue into a winter wonderland. Do you have any suggestions? |
| A | Tichea Brade says: Creating a winter wonderland wedding in the UK can be a magical and memorable experience. Choose a property with large windows to capture the beauty of the winter landscape. An estate, barn, or a cosy historic building with fire places can provide the perfect backdrop. If you're feeling adventurous, an outdoor ceremony with a snow-covered landscape can be stunning – weather permitting. Embrace a colour palette of icy blues, silvers, and whites. Use snowflake motifs in your invitations, table settings, and centrepieces to capture the time of year. Incorporate twinkling fairylights, candles and faux snow to create a wintry ambience around your venue. Create a cosy atmosphere with soft, warm lighting and choose music that resonates with the season. Serve hot mulled wine and hearty comfort foods for guests to enjoy followed by a winter-themed wedding cake adorned with snowflakes or edible silver accents. Send guests home with winter-themed favours such as custom-made snow globes or personalised ornaments so they can look back and remember the special day. |

Time To Celebrate
| Q | What advice can you share for the perfect confetti throw? |
| A | Constance Taylor says: Wedding confetti throws make for some of the most joyful photographs in wedding albums. You can maximise getting the most out of these shots in some great ways. From confetti's size, shape and style to how it's thrown and presented. If you want to use real petals, our advice is the bigger the better. Larger petals take longer to fall and have less disruption from the breeze, which works better for outdoor photos. The added weight makes them easier to aim, and their size makes more of an impression in your photographs. For dried petals, choose a mix of sizes to help with coverage. Just make sure guests throw up and not at you! If you're an animal lover or having a child-friendly wedding, a confetti pony could be for you! Children are absolutely enthralled with these gorgeous miniature ponies. It's a truly memorable way of carrying and presenting confetti to guests. If your venue doesn't allow wedding confetti, bubbles are a brilliant alternative. Not only do they add beautiful luminescent colours to your shots, but there's also no clearing up afterwards! Invest in some bubble guns with greater power and trajectory to fill the photos. Alternatively, smoke bombs inject colour and personality into your wedding shots. Just choose a great backdrop and give yourself lots of space. Paper wedding confetti comes in all shapes, sizes and colours. Best of all, lots of options are now biodegradable. We recommend this kind, not just for the environment, but because it will travel a long way. Some of our favourite shots have come from using the multi-coloured discs – perfect for summer weddings! Don't be afraid to load up on wedding confetti; the more, the better! Champagne sprays are perfect for party-loving couples and will make you laugh. Plan your spray at night with targeted production lighting for dramatic photos to capture every last drop. With any throw or spray ideas, always speak to your venue and photographer to ensure they are both on board and happy with your choices. |
