Inspiration

A glamourous fairy lights and black tie winter wedding! It just doesn't get better than this! Complete with all the fun and festive details, this wedding is like an elegant Christmas grotto. Faye and Tim set their wedding in the stunning scenery of the Lake District at Recommended venue Hidden River Barn for a weekend-long celebration, to which we're upset we didn't get an invite. To see why we wanted to be at this party wedding so badly, you should keep scrolling...

Faye & Tim

Fairy Lights

Faye and Tim made sure they had all the festive vibes for their Christmas wonderland wedding. They had a low key Christmas feast with all the trimmings and mini gingerbread houses for the dessert table. The name place cards were personalised Christmas baubles and, naturally, a cosy winter wedding wouldn't be complete without fairy lights! Faye and Tim also wanted to have all the awesome shots including champagne popping, sparklers, and boys with the cigars to name a few! Whilst the amazing band were there singing the couple down the aisle until the party into the late night.

Black Tie & Barn Venue

Faye and Tim booked the 200-acre site for the whole weekend to milk the occasion and make the most of celebrating. The groom's 30th was also the night before, so they definitely had intentions to PARTY! This winter wonderland wedding at the stunning Hidden River Barn in the Lake District is one to remember. No details were left unturned, including the most beautiful and thoughtful ceremony from SJ Celebrant, which left no dry eye in the house (we're getting teary just from these pics, let alone the ceremony)!

Why not make your wedding a weekend-long black-tie event like this one!

Leave a lot of time! All the little details add up so much and take a lot of effort and time. Also, just make sure the wedding is everything you both want as a couple, and not let a single other person's opinions matter.
