Romantic Winter Wonderland
Exchanging vows surrounded by cosy rustic eleganct, real candle lanterns, and evergreen wreaths. At Larchfield Estate, the heritage stone walls and rustic charm of the barn offer the perfect canvas for a winter wedding. Add to this a sprinkling of snow (if lucky!), and you’ve got a setting straight out of a Christmas movie. Read more about what winter wonderland weddings could look like.
No Christmas wedding is complete without indulgent seasonal treats. At Larchfield, you can treat your guests to hearty mulled wine receptions, festive canapés, and rich holiday feasts featuring the finest local produce. Imagine finishing with a dessert table laden with mince pies, Christmas puddings, and hot chocolate. Let our dedicated team of hand-picked suppliers treat your guests to holiday delights!
Quirky Addition: Instead of a wedding cake, opt for a "Christmas tree" cake or a tower of gingerbread cookies for a whimsical nod to the season.
At Larchfield Estate, we take pride in supporting local businesses and showcasing the best of Northern Ireland’s artisans. From the locally sourced florals that adorn our venues to catering partners that use seasonal produce from nearby farms, every element reflects our commitment to the community. By choosing Larchfield for your wedding or event, you’re not just celebrating your special day—you’re uplifting local talent and fostering community growth.
Decorating for a Christmas wedding at Larchfield Estate is an enchanting experience. The high timber-beamed ceilings of the barn elongate our supplied traditional Christmas tree and foliage wreaths, while the courtyard becomes a festive haven with fairy lights and fire pits.
Dress your tables in rich reds, gold accents, and elegant greens. Pine sprigs as napkin rings, bauble place cards, and candles nestled in holly will add a festive yet sophisticated touch.
Trend: Personalised ornaments as guest favours are a beautiful memento of your special day.
Larchfield Estate provides not only a magical setting but also a seamless experience. With on-site accommodation for up to 41 guests (43 in warmer months), you can enjoy an intimate "home away from home". Imagine waking up with your bridal party to our frost-dusted gardens and the aroma of fresh coffee. Why not organise a Christmas morning secret Santa with your closest family before or after the big day.
“Ian and I just wanted to send a quick message to say thank you so much. We had the most incredible day on Saturday, so many people mentioned how incredible the venue was and it was just perfect for a cosy winter wedding.”
For brides, consider a winter-inspired gown—think long sleeves, lace overlays, or even a velvet shawl. Grooms can lean into seasonal colours with burgundy, forest green, or rich navy suits. Bridesmaids in jewel tones like emerald or ruby and groomsmen in plaid ties are subtle yet stunning nods to Christmas.
Every wedding at Larchfield Estate is unique, and Christmas allows for deeply personal touches. From holiday-themed vows to Christmas carols as part of your ceremony, the opportunities to make your celebration truly yours are endless.
