Festive Weddings at The Old Kent Barn
Festive Wedding Ideas & Inspiration
Twinkling lights, real fir trees and a little festive magic.
When the lights begin to glow and the air feels festive, The Old Kent Barn becomes the most beautiful setting for a festive wedding.
Here you’ll find ideas to make your celebration feel seasonal, from styling and colour palettes to all the little details.
Dressed for December
Every December, the barn is dressed with real fir trees lit with warm, glowing lights, alpine swags along the oak beams and a touch of mistletoe. Set against a neutral, light and airy barn, it’s the perfect starting point to add your own style.
Find Your Festive Style
Whether you’re drawn to classic greenery, rich jewel tones or warm, rustic textures, there’s a festive style for every couple. A few of our favourites:
Evergreen and candlelight: layered pine and foliage, ivory taper candles in mixed heights, warm and timeless
Wine, plum and aubergine: winter’s richest colour trend, with velvet textures and deep candlelit tones
Cinnamon and spice: burnt orange, cinnamon tones, dried oranges and pine cones, natural and rustic with a modern twist
Layer the textures: velvet ribbons, candle clusters and trailing greenery bring warmth to every table.
Meet Me Under the Mistletoe
A sprig or two of mistletoe makes a sweet photo moment for you and your guests. Ask your florist to include it in your styling, or choose artificial sprigs you can keep and bring out every Christmas after “I do”.
Sweet Treats & Festive Sips
Bring a festive touch to your sweet treats with seasonal florals and accessories on your cake. For favours, individually iced gingerbread biscuits are as charming as they are delicious. And to warm your guests on arrival, mulled wine and hot chocolate make the perfect winter welcome.
Festive Photo Moments
Snow confetti in the barn, sparklers at the end of the night and a kiss by the fir tree, festive weddings are full of photo moments. As the evening draws in, our illuminated gardens add a little extra sparkle.
