Winter weddings have a charm all their own, combining cozy elegance with sparkling seasonal touches. As couples plan for 2025–2026, décor has become a key way to create a warm, stylish, and memorable celebration. From luxurious fabrics and statement lighting to festive greenery and seasonal floral arrangements, the right decorations can transform any space. At WA Carr & Son, we provide everything you need to bring these winter wedding trends to life, ensuring your day is both beautiful and comfortable.

Jewel Tone Colour Palettes

Rich colours like emerald, sapphire, ruby, and deep burgundy add warmth and sophistication to winter weddings. These jewel tones can be beautifully complemented by metallic accents in gold, copper, and silver, bringing sparkle and a festive feel to the celebration. WA Carr & Son offers a variety of linens, chair covers, and table settings that match these trending colour palettes, ensuring a cohesive and elegant look for your winter wedding.

Statement Lighting

Layered lighting is key to creating a magical atmosphere for winter weddings. Chandeliers, fairy lights, and uplighting can transform any space into an intimate and warm setting. Soft lighting not only adds warmth but also makes marquee spaces feel welcoming and cozy. WA Carr & Son provides a range of hire options, including marquee lighting, spotlights, and decorative fixtures for tables and lounges, helping you achieve the perfect ambiance.

Seasonal Floral Arrangements and Greenery

Incorporate winter blooms such as amaryllis, roses, and anemones with evergreen foliage to create stunning floral arrangements. Adding pinecones, berries, and frosted branches can provide seasonal accents that enhance the winter theme. WA Carr & Son offers various stands, vases, and display options to showcase these beautiful arrangements, ensuring they are a focal point of your décor.

Cozy Fabrics and Furniture

Using plush velvet, faux fur throws, and layered cushions can make wedding spaces inviting and comfortable. These cozy fabrics not only add texture and warmth but also encourage guests to linger and enjoy the atmosphere. WA Carr & Son supplies a range of tables, chairs, lounges, and furniture layouts designed to complement winter décor, making your celebration both stylish and welcoming.

Keeping guests warm is essential for a winter wedding. Indoor and outdoor heaters ensure that everyone remains comfortable throughout the event. Heated marquees are particularly effective, allowing celebrations to continue regardless of the winter weather.
