Top Winter Wedding Trends for 2026

Embracing Rustic Charm with Natural Greenery

Winter weddings in 2026 are all about embracing the timeless beauty of rustic charm paired with natural greenery. This trend creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that is perfect for the colder months. Couples are opting for decor elements that incorporate lush foliage, wooden accents, and earthy textures to bring a touch of the outdoors inside.

Imagine walking down an aisle adorned with eucalyptus garlands, surrounded by the soft glow of candlelight reflecting off wooden beams. The combination of natural elements with sophisticated styling transforms any venue into a cozy, romantic haven. At WA Carr & Son, we specialize in bringing this vision to life with our bespoke decor services, ensuring that every detail is meticulously crafted to enhance the rustic theme.

Creating Ambiance with Layered Lighting

Lighting plays a pivotal role in setting the mood for a winter wedding. The trend for 2026 emphasizes layered lighting to create a warm, intimate ambiance. From fairy lights and festoon bulbs to elegant chandeliers and uplighters, the right lighting can transform your venue into a magical setting.

Layered lighting techniques help to add depth and warmth to your space, making it feel cozy and inviting despite the chilly weather outside. Fairy lights can be draped across the ceiling of your marquee, while chandeliers provide a focal point above dining tables. Uplighters placed strategically around the venue highlight architectural features and add a soft, romantic glow.

WA Carr & Son offers comprehensive lighting hire packages that include everything from design consultation to installation, ensuring your wedding is beautifully lit from start to finish.

Choosing the Perfect Marquee for Winter Weather

A marquee is the heart of many winter wedding celebrations, providing a flexible and weather-resistant venue option. For 2026, clearspan marquees are a popular choice due to their versatility and ability to be fully heated, styled, and lit to suit your vision.

Clearspan marquees offer a blank canvas that can be customized to reflect the latest winter wedding trends. From draping and flooring to heating solutions, every aspect can be tailored to create a comfortable and beautiful environment for your guests.

At WA Carr & Son, we provide a wide range of marquee options, including clearspan designs that can withstand winter weather while maintaining an elegant aesthetic. Our team handles everything from setup to takedown, ensuring a seamless experience for you and your guests.

Stylish Furniture and Decor to Enhance Your Theme

Furniture and decor are crucial in shaping the overall atmosphere of your winter wedding. This season, couples are gravitating towards rich, luxurious fabrics and mixed textures to create stylish, cozy spaces. Velvet lounge seating, intimate dining layouts, and metallic accents are all trending for 2026.

Choosing the right furniture can enhance your theme and provide comfort for your guests. Velvet sofas and armchairs create inviting lounge areas, while elegant dining tables and chairs ensure a sophisticated dining experience. Decor items such as tableware, linens, and display stands add the finishing touches that tie your theme together.

WA Carr & Son offers an extensive selection of furniture and decor options to match any winter wedding theme. Our bespoke service ensures that every piece complements your vision, creating a cohesive and stylish setting for your celebration.
