Not a time of year that jumps to mind when the word Wedding is mentioned, but what better time of year for a family celebration is there? Basingstoke wedding professionals have some ideas for your festive wedding…

Christmas Themed Wedding Flowers

Paula who creates some wonderful wedding flower arrangements all year round, suggests that a perfect winter bouquet would have beautiful red grandprix roses, hypericum berries and skimmia. For her, Christmas time has the most beautiful flowers! If red isn’t your thing, then how about lime green orchids with black baccara roses for a striking bouquet combination.

Gemma the wedding stationer uses for her Christmas invites and table settings, gold and silver ribbons, she has also been busy making bauble shaped place cards. She suggests naming tables after Christmas themes and using these images on table plans. Another great tip from her that also saves money, is to send your Save the date cards combined with Christmas cards!

Christmas Wedding Bouquet

Wine Devine recommends the Christmas tipple of Rubis.  Its is an indulgent blend of fortified red with a premium chocolate flavour. You can drink as a liqueur or as a dessert wine with chocolate puddings or drizzled over ice cream!

Paul Smith is playing hard over Christmas, he is performing his regular slots at Tylney Hall Hotel on Christmas Day and Boxing day with singer joining him to perform some Christmas Carols.  His Christmas Weddings will have him playing the Piano, the saxophone and clarinet!  Performing a huge range of work from Artie Shaw to Michael Bublé, a huge range of gentle ballads, pop or full on swing improvisations.

And lastly, what can be more festive than snow at Christmas? In Hampshire at the moment metcheck.comp are saying there is a 10 percent chance of snow on Christmas Day so you never know!

Standford Springs Golf Club Wedding Fair Venue

Its a great chance to check out the venue between Newbury and Basingstoke on the A339 near to Kingsclere (in North Hampshire) and to meet some of the local Wedding Professionals.  Alan Bowman will be there to show and talk about his Wedding Photography.  The photos on this page were taken by Alan during the recent wedding of Joanne and Graham at the Golf Club.
