Why Intimate Autumn and Winter Weddings Are So Special

When I get bookings for weddings between October and March one of the main stipulations couples have is that its full of candlelight, cosy vibes and heavy with rich colours, this is obviously a wonderful brief and I love to turn it into reality.

With so many of my couples and other couples moving dates from Spring/Summer to Autumn/Winter there are so many questions about the change of style, the different flowers that are available and for some a change in the number of guests. I wanted to share one of the most beautiful weddings that it has been my pleasure to style in recent years and demonstrate just how stunning a late Autumn and very intimate wedding can be.

Hannah and Joe fell in love with The Painswick and when I joined them for a venue visit it was clear to see why. Not only is it nestled into the most idyllic village in the Cotswolds with views across stunning countryside but the hotel itself has the most welcoming homely feel, not to mention the carefully considered dreamy interiors.

Hannah and Joe decided that they wanted to share their ceremony with very close family and friend’s who then stayed for canapés, drinks and celebrations, then a smaller number of guests joined them for an intimate meal in one of the hotels private dining spaces. This allowed for a beautiful set up, filled with abundant seasonal flowers by Bespoke Flower Co, lots of candlelight, rich reds and navy’s and the most beautiful stationary from Megan Riera.
