Couple Sarah and Steve planned their winter wedding at The Holt Fleet, using Wedding Photo Swap to capture their guests’ photos.
When Sarah and Steve decided to tie the knot in late December, they knew they wanted a wedding that embraced the festive season, combined with classic elegance. Their celebration at The Holt Fleet, a stunning venue set on the banks of the River Severn, was the perfect backdrop for a day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
The venue: The Holt Fleet
The Holt Fleet is nestled within 14 acres of beautiful grounds, just outside the charming village of Ombersley, Worcestershire. This former hotel, rebuilt in 1937, dates back to the late 18th century, making it steeped in rich history. Originally a popular stop for Victorian riverside cruises, guests would admire the now-iconic Thomas Telford bridge built in 1828. Today, The Holt Fleet remains a much-loved venue for weddings and events, with an outstanding reputation for food, drink, and service. Sarah and Steve chose this beautiful setting for their big day, and it certainly did not disappoint.
The wedding look
The wedding aesthetic was a perfect blend of seasonal charm and romantic elegance. Sarah, the stunning bride, wore a floaty A-line dress with a delicate skirt. Sarah’s dress was perfectly complemented by the pale pink roses and eucalyptus that made up her bridal bouquet. The bridesmaids wore dark green dresses, adding a touch of rich colour to the winter wedding palette.
The couple’s décor echoed the charm of the season, with twinkling Christmas trees, lush greenery, and soft, flickering candles. The glowing S heart S letters, which lit up the reception area, took centre stage, adding a personalised touch.
Wedding details
Sarah and Steve’s wedding flowers were a gorgeous combination of pale pink roses and eucalyptus. The floral theme continued onto the wedding cake, a beautiful three-tier creation in soft pink with greenery artfully arranged on top. The couple shared a special moment cutting the cake in front of their family and friends.
As the evening went on, the couple took to the dance floor for their first dance. A magical moment enhanced by the soft glow of fairy lights in the background.
From the venue to the decor, every detail of this winter wedding came together to create a memorable occasion. Sarah and Steve’s day at The Holt Fleet was a testament to the magic of a winter wedding – full of warmth, and beautiful moments.
