Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - November/December 2025 (Issue 113)

As a fun evening treat that pairs perfectly with Christmas, opt for gingerbread houses for guests to enjoy. It will be a huge hit with kids and adults alike. There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about everyone leaning over their little houses, laughing and sneaking a few candies along the way. Sweet festive accents For an added touch that not only brings a fun burst of colour but also a sweet treat for guests, candy canes are a great way to bring out your guests’ inner child and add a playful, festive vibe to your celebration. COORDINATED WEDDING STATIONERY When it comes to stationery, keep everything cohesive with your colour scheme and theme to tie the whole day together. From simple and elegant designs to bold illustrations, have fun with the process and let your creativity shine. Seasonal wedding cake When it comes to a Christmassy wedding cake, there are so many flavour combinations to choose from. Favourites include spiced fruit cake, chocolate and orange, red velvet and gingerbread. Add seasonal touches to the bake with berries, sugared cranberries, cinnamon sticks and sprigs of rosemary. Make sure to tie in your design with the overall theme. FESTIVE COCKTAIL STATION Add a fun twist to your wedding with a cocktail station featuring mulled wine and spiced cider drinks. Don’t forget to add festive garnishes like cinnamon sticks, star anise and sugared cranberries, as well as some twinkling fairy light decorations. unsplash.com@veradavidovaphotography unsplash.com@micahandsammiechaffin unsplash.com@brookelark unsplash.com@gettyimages unsplash.com@madaram GINGERBREAD HOUSE FUN 52
