One of the great benefits of hiring a wedding planner, is that they tend to be unfazed by anything you throw at them.

A winter wedding ... in a barn... in England? No problem.

Today we're sharing a styled shoot by the wonderful Weddings by Emily Charlotte, with Daisy Bailey Photography.

The two teamed up to create a chic, cosy, rustic winter wedding inspiration, that shows, not only is a barn the perfect backdrop for a festive celebration, but it's possible to kit it out in style (and on a budget) too.

Snug tartan, romantic hair styling, chic attire, and gorgeous blooms, if you're planning a cold weather bash - prepare to be inspired.

We'll pass you over to planner and stylist, Emily of Weddings by Emily Charlotte, to tell us more about this wintery shoot...

About The Shoot

I believe winter weddings are underrated in the UK so, in collaboration with Daisy Bailey Photography, I wanted to create a shoot that showed not just the beauty of a winter wedding, but also that you can also use typical summer venues during the winter months too. So to that note, I held the shoot at The Yoghurt Rooms due to the gorgeous (and very big) barn available, and the stunning lake, which provided a fab photo opportunity (luckily the weather was on our side!) For a winter wedding, there are two distinct styles to choose from; an opulent winter wonderland or a comforting and cosy winter warmer, in this case I went for the latter. The inspiration for the shoot actually stemmed from a tartan blanket; hence it became a prominent feature throughout instead of a more traditional bridal shrug. The finished product is a simple, laid-back winter wedding concept that could not only be recreated if on a budget (or expanded upon for couples looking for further detail) but could also be transferred to a variety of venue styles.

The Attire

I chose to use vibrant reds and rich blues, particularly in the florals. The fantastic Fig Tree Flowers created some beautiful arrangements, mainly from a brief of just thistle and berries, including traditional roses and very striking blue/purple hydrangeas. updo, created by Sarah Ann Hair, so not to distract from the intricate lace detail I continued the berry theme through to the cake, designed and produced by Wicky Woo Woo Cakes, which was just perfect. We kept it simple as I wanted to create a rustic winter dessert table with lots of candles and foliage...and of course some good Scottish Whisky to accompany the tartan. The table design was intended to create a relaxed feel, so I used wooden bench tables and simple place settings, finished with just a single eryngium. The red glasses, provided by Co-ordination Catering, were used as coloured glassware is fast becoming a key trend for 2016 weddings, plus, when combined with the hurricane arrangements, they gave the table a great pop of colour. on the top of the dress.

Isn't it pretty? I just love how anything is possible with weddings, all you need is a little creativity (and perhaps some room in your budget for heaters!). I just adore those faded hydrangeas for winter too - so beautiful.
