​

One of the questions I get asked the most is “What should we wear?”—so I’ve put together this little guide to help you plan outfits that perfectly suit this year’s festive set-ups.

 

 

 

Outside – English Countryside Christmas

 

 

If you’ve been following me on socials, you’ll have already seen the mood board—and I couldn’t be more excited about this set! It’s everything I love rolled into one: a classic silver Land Rover Defender, dressed with festive wreaths and greenery, set against a beautiful Kentish barn courtyard (yes, the snow machine will be back too ❄️).

 

For this scene, think English winter countryside vibes. Winter coats, cosy hats, scarves, and wellies are all encouraged. Colours that work beautifully here include: browns, greens, neutrals, reds, and creams.

 

 

 

Inside – Cosy Christmas Kitchen

 

 

This year’s indoor scene is a nostalgic Christmas kitchen, where we’ll be “baking” together—rolling dough, playing with flour, and pretending to make the sweetest little gingerbread men (professionally made by Kent baker Kakie’s Cakes). Styled by the amazing Rox at The Little Wedding Warehouse, it’s designed to feel like Christmas Eve at home: warm, festive, and full of magic.

 

I’ll have plenty of props to play with—including adorable little chef aprons and hats for the children. Outfit-wise, keep it soft and neutral: cosy jumpers, skirts with tights, and chinos for the boys work perfectly.

 

 

 

Tips for Both Scenes

 

 

• Use your indoor outfit as a base, then add coats, hats, and scarves for the outdoor look. This layering keeps things authentic to the countryside setting and adds lovely depth to your photos.

• Try to avoid very bright reds—they can create colour casts on skin and sometimes overpower the scene. Instead, softer tones and earthy hues will photograph more beautifully.

• I’ll be bringing along a small client wardrobe with extra options to borrow, and I’ll also share highlights of what’s available on Instagram for inspiration.

 

 

 

✨ Together, these looks will help create timeless, festive images that feel natural, cosy, and full of Christmas spirit
