Wonderful Winter Wonderland Wedding Evening

Our lovely little bridal soiree went wonderfully last week. Many bride and grooms arrived at the Wedding Collective boutique in Harrogate to be inspired with winter wonderland wedding ideas and they weren't disappointed!

As a member of the Yorkshire Wedding Collective the wonderful Morgan Photography was on hand to capture the evening’s final preparations.

Guests were delighted with delicious food carefully created by Saunts Parties and Events, and were welcomed with glasses of sparkling Rose courtesy of Yorkshire Vintners.

The gorgeous table display was adorned with some hand-crafted stationery by Quilling Magic and delicate floral arrangements by Where Angels Play, fitting the winter wonderland theme perfectly.

Williams Hart Weddings and Shelley Kay from the Yorkshire Wedding Collective delivered some delightful details around the room, including the vintage-styled Christmas tree, elegant candy bar and decorative festive displays.

Patisserie Viennoise wowed guests with their beautiful wedding cake and samples of their deliciously more-ish chocolate cake.

The Event Music Company provided the soundtrack to the evening with their Trio Vivo providing outstanding live music, playing arrangements of Christmas classics with a modern twist which set everyone in the festive mood.



All the brides-to-be and their friends and family were offered complimentary mini-makeovers by the talented Louise Lunn Make-Up and Morgan Photography talked guests through how perfect wedding photos are created using the latest air-brushing techniques in the chill-out area.


Form Bespoke Jewellery were showcasing their latest individually designed rings and Millinery by Design were talking all about what the latest wedding headwear is all about.



Vintage accessories were on show by Rosie Weisencrantz, hand-crafted stationery by Much Ado was beautifully displayed and Simply Seat Covers showed how chair covers really can make a big difference to the look and feel of a celebration. Their pewter sashes, fit the winter wonderland theme perfectly.

And the lucky winner of the PapaKata prize draw to win tickets to their Papa Christmas event was Ella Anderson!

Everyone enjoyed their delightful goody bags, packed full of lovely little treats including some ever-so-tasty chocolate cookies from Sugar Therapy and utterly divine fragrance from Cath Collins.

It was an evening packed full of the latest wedding trends and ideas, all set against the beautiful backdrop of the Yorkshire Wedding Collective boutique in the heart of Harrogate.
