We are in my county of Yorkshire today for some (what I believe to be) well timed Christmas inspiration, Amarise and Michael planned their English wedding whilst in Australia (if you have any tips Amarise, please leave them in the comments!!). They did a wonderful job bringing the most beautiful parts of Christmas all together for their day, the little bursts of red with deep green foliage are gorgeous mixed with the candlelight. Also in love with Michael’s suit, exceptionally dapper. Enjoy today’s wedding at Whirlowbrook Hall

Tips for those in the planning process.
Enjoy it! Pinterest and the internet have many amazing ideas and there are different blogs that you can choose ideas from. Having a florist and décor provider that you work well with and understand the style you’re looking for is really helpful. Having a wedding planning book and mood board are great ways to focus ideas and style.
Where did you find your inspiration?
The bride, groom and grooms’ mother all sort inspiration mostly from Pinterest! We knew that we wanted a rustic Christmas theme. The wedding was in England however the bride and groom where live in Australia, so the grooms’ mother did most the organising and hunting for vendors. The bride also used the Australian wedding Blog Nouba for some ideas.
