Embrace the season: Winter is a magical time of year, with its crisp air and festive spirit. Embrace the season by incorporating winter-inspired elements into your wedding.

Add cozy touches: Make your guests feel at home by adding cozy touches to the venue. Think faux fur throws, soft cushions, and candlelight.
Consider a winter menu: Winter is a time for comfort food, so consider incorporating seasonal ingredients into your menu. Think hearty soups, roasted meats, and winter vegetables. You could also offer a dessert station with winter-themed treats like gingerbread or mince pies.

Wedding Planning Tips from Elisabetta & Toby

What was the most memorable moment from your wedding day ?

The ceremony but also our private photo session with Oxana!

What did you love about location you got married ?

We loved how beautiful it was. The rustic feel mixed with English Cotswolds vibes.

Any tips, recommendations for newly engaged couples when organising wedding ?

Make sure you book the big things as soon as possible (photographer, caterers, DJs, VENUE!). As a couple, talk a lot about what’s REALLY important for you and for your partner… it’s the big day for both of you after all. Have a think whether you may have talented friends who could help with some of the things (e.g. flowers? Entertainment? Invites? Writing place cards? Making the cake? Etc.), this could help you save a lot of money!! Try and stick to your budget.. a lot of extra unexpected money gets spent towards the end and if you haven’t got it or haven’t saved it that could be a bit of a problem!

What would you do differently when organising your wedding ?

The thought going behind the invites. I would also try and save more money beforehand.

What was the most hardest or challenging when organising your wedding ?

The invites! And the money! We otherwise had a really good time organising our wedding :)

Anything else you would like to share :)

All the stress leading up to the big day is normal, but try and enjoy the process.. the journey that will get you to the special day. The wedding will arrive and go in a flash but the journey will take a while.. so do enjoy that too!! Also try and slow down on the day of your wedding (excitement will take over..) but when you’re sitting at your table eating your meal… just take a moment with your partner and on your own to quietly take it all in. That feeling will stay with you forever!!

Final thing… things could go wrong and you may spend time afterwards going over and over what you could have done better.. who you should have spoken more to, what food you should have picked instead etc. etc. Try and let go of that feeling but remember and focus on all the beautiful things and people that actually made that day so special. One of them is right next to you for the rest of your life and that’s the reason you had that big party in the first place!!!
