Winter weddings have a unique magic all of their own. There’s something wonderful about warm candlelight, especially paired with a darker wedding cake and dramatic stationery. The hues of winter hellebores and the gentle sparkle of taper candles, with polished glassware and late autumn foliage are simply breathtaking here. The venue, a gem in the Lake District: Ghyll Barn is located in the Eden Valley. Images are by utterly brilliant, ridiculously talented and bloody lovely Lakes wedding photographer: Hannah Hall, based in Kirkby Stephen.
There are many elements to consider when planning a wedding – choosing the venue, flowers, food and attire to name a few. Now some couples are adding something else to their unwieldy to-do lists – book a content creator.
The rise of social media savvy couples has resulted in a 586% year-on-year increase in search demand for wedding content creators, according to wedding planning platform Hitched’s 2025 wedding trend report.

It all goes by in a blur: the day of your wedding can be a whirlwind of people and emotions. One thing I hear again and again is advice to make time to pause, to take it all in. The phenomenon of the wedding whirlwind is one reason couples are looking to extend their celebrations. The Ferry House in Kent have come up with the perfect two-day wedding package so you can enjoy a relaxed couple of days with all of your guests.
