The weather may not have been cooperating at the time, but that didn’t stop this team bringing a breathtaking winter wedding wonderland to Rowhill Grange in Wilmington Images courtesy of Jeff Oliver Photography In February this year when we all got together to create this shoot, we were expecting grey skies. We thought we’d find ourselves in the midst of winter, perfect for our all-that-glitters theme. Instead we had brilliant blue skies, warm sunshine and there wasn’t a snowflake in sight,” remembers shoot coordinator Laurie Edwards, from Chic Weddings and Events. With a frosty vibe in mind, the colour palette was built around white and steel blue, with a hint of silver. “I didn’t want the look to be over the top and glitzy, more frozen and icy,” Laurie explains. The ceremony area’s existing curtains were draped in white chiffon and Chic’s gorgeous winter trees lined the aisle. These were hung with glass globes holding tea light candles and crystal strands creating a frosty glow. The styling of the reception area echoed that of the ceremony. Hundreds of cut-glass candle votives and cylinders with floating candles, charger plates with silver beading around the edge, ice-blue napkins with a silver cuff, and white sequin cloths all brought just enough subtle sparkle and glamour to the space. Meanwhile, draping again softened the room and ushered in the romance. The stunning floral displays featured a mix of early grey roses, white lisianthus, white anemone, white genista, off-white spray roses, silver grey brunia berries, eucalyptus and silver asparagus fern, with white hydrangea. Meanwhile, handmade sugar paste versions of these glorious fresh florals were used to decorate the showstopping bake. SNOW THAT glitters “ LOCAL SHOOT 47
