Katrina Rohman from Bryn Meadows reveals how you can incorporate the festive season into your big day

Katrina Rohman has worked in the wedding industry for more then 15 years. She started her career in radio before becoming the sales and marketing assistant manager at the luxurious venue, Bryn Meadows.

"Winter weddings are magical, especially if you match the theme to the weather and landscape. Think burnt oranges in the late autumn, icy blues in the new year and of course berry reds.

"The majority of venues will set up their festive decorations in November. When you talk to your wedding coordinator, ask whether they put the same decorations up every year or if they have a particular theme in mind. You can then use the venue's colour scheme as inspiration.

"Incorporate baubles into your décor. These can be used in your bouquet, centrepieces or even as name-holders.

"Candles are a lovely way to create a cosy atmosphere. These can be used to light-up the aisle, for your centrepieces or even as favours for your guests. Double check with your venue first and make sure they're happy for you to use them.

"If you want to stick to a more low key woodland theme, then think of natural elements. If you're creative, you could collect pinecones and incorporate them into your centrepieces. Alternatively, speak to your florist about using ivy, holly or mistletoe.

"Don't forget to tie the season into other aspects of your day. Consider serving mulled wine or cider for the drinks reception or setting up a hot chocolate station. You could even servce festive dishes for your wedding breakfast and evening buffet.

"Think about what you'll be wearing. Consider incorporating a splash of gold or berry with textures such as feathers, lace and sequins.

"Regardless of when you're getting married it will be a special day, surrounded by the ones you love."
