Can anyone belive it's Christmas next week?! Us neither! 2014 has flown by at superhero speed for us at WS HQ and we're now prepping for a full force 2015! We recently got news that we've been shortlisted to retain our crown for Best Wedding Blog at the UK Blog Awards 2015 next year! Whilst we don't operate on a 'we won an award so we're great' basis, we're super flattered that our readers took the time to vote for us for the short list. THANK YOU! It would be an honour to retain the title we won last year of Best Wedding Blog as it's voted for by readers. So as we move on towards Christmas and the New Year, we're feeling even more festive thanks to you and here's a positively beautiful styled wedding just to keep us in the festive spirit from Kat Willson Photography and Stone House Creative ...

From Stone House Creative: "When planning this fall shoot, we wanted the overall feel and look to be purposefully simplistic. With the goal of evoking a warm, rich feel as fall colour palettes often do, we also wanted to maintain an overall sense of dignified, elevated style. We wanted to appeal to the fall bride who is stuck with the idea of trotting out those overdone fall themes and who doesn't know how to bring her own sense of style to her wedding. The goal was to create a luxe setting for a wedding, but not overworked and blinged out as is often done. So, it was important that we ground the look with a strong natural element, for which I chose rich wood and natural linen accents on the table and in the bouquet wrap to introduce a quality of depth and texture to the look. Keeping things simple allowed us to explore the colour and texture palette - how would the caramel hues of the garden roses play against the burgundy tapers? What does the contrast between a rich velvet table linen and the refined chair cover bring to the look?"
