A Pretty Pastel Blue Winter Wedding with a Tea-Party Theme

After years of not receiving many winter weddings, my inbox is suddenly full of lovely photographs! The latest bride to choose January for her big day is Natalie, and I've fallen for her stunning ice blue and gold colour palette. Natalie's Cotton and Crumbs cake was the first thing she ordered, and the inspiration for the rest of her wedding. I love its tea-cup topper, and ornate lace icing, but there's plenty of other wedding details for you - from the gorgeous Coast bridesmaid maxi-dresses, Natalie's stunning Charlie Brear gown and Glenn's specially tailored suit. Enjoy! Many thanks to the lovely Kayleigh Pope for sending over these lovely wedding pictures.

Snowy Wedding Inspiration with Hot Pink Accents

Two of our friends celebrated their wedding in the show, and although it caused more than a few travel headaches, it made for one of the most romantic weddings ever. So when I stumbled across this gorgeous snowy wedding shoot by fabulous photographer, Amy Carroll, I knew I had to share it with my lovely wedding blog friends. Just check out how dramatic the hot pink looks against the snow, and the glamour and luxury of the furs. I'm also loving the gold details on the buttonhole, and the fabulous spotty bow-tie. Let's start a wedding mini-trend for bow-ties on grooms - they're such a fun detail, and they'd make your boy stand out from the crowd. Throw in a cute dog and a baby coat, and I'm in wedding-heaven!

Real Boho Barn Wedding Video: Vicky & Richard

It's been a weekend of strong emotions here at the Before the Big Day studios. First there was the excitement of being featured in Wedding magazine, and then this wedding video trailer by White Dress Films had me in tears! Vicky and Richard celebrated their big day with a traditional church ceremony, followed by a gorgeous reception at South Farm in Cambridgeshire. There's tonnes of gorgeous reception details {pom-poms - yippee!}, but it's the Vicky's wedding outfit that's really got me excited. Her gorgeous fishtail gown has stunning lace straps, and she teamed it with a lovely cosy fur shrug - the perfect accessory for any spring bride. I also love her pageboys' outfits - their cute matching waistcoats and converse trainers. With pretty blue and red flowers arranged in lace jam-jars {the easiest and most effective DIY project ever}, stunning patterned wedding stationery {spot the programme at the start}, and even white peacocks, it's a treat from start to finish. Enjoy it with your morning coffee!

Winter Brides Accessories Guide

One of my favourite online wedding shops, BHLDN has launched their pretty winter range, and it's perfect for a winter or spring bride. Just take a look at the cute feathery shrugs, furry cuffs and elegant leather gloves. But would you wear ear-muffs or a bobble hat on your wedding day? It's certainly one way to be a bride that stands out from the crowd!

Winter Brides - How To Keep Warm & Stylish

These soft blush fur shrugs are the perfect accessory for a winter or spring bride. Created by British company Hope & Grace, they're cute and cosy, and reminiscent of Anna Karenina. I watched the film last week, and I've fallen in love with the styling. With The Great Gasby starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan due out in the spring, 2013 weddings are bound to be heavily influenced by old-school glamour. Get ahead of the curve and wear one at your winter wedding, or if you're feeling particularly generous, buy one for each of your bridesmaids. They're available in a range of colours from simple ivory, to stylish antique pink and soft grey. P.S. Hope & Grace also make beautiful bridal hair accessories.
