There are a lot of reasons why it’s a good idea to celebrate a wedding on a Christmas Day. It’s one of the most romantic times of a year to plan a wedding, besides being the season of celebrations of birth of Christ. The significance of Christmas celebrations highlights the family gathering of emotions and festivities. Whether you plan the Christmas wedding ceremony close to the holiday, or you just want to have a Christmas wedding theme, it is sure to be a magical time for the couple and their well wishers.
This article gives few tips on turning a Christmas wedding into a memorable event.
Reflect the season in your invitation by designing your cards into Christmas shapes (Christmas trees or angels). You can even use Christmas cards for invitations. For a more creative approach, send invitations out disguised as Christmas gifts: in small boxes accompanied by a small decoration.
Practically, a Christmas wedding won’t even need you to provide more decoration because many churches will already have their own Christmas trees and decorations. And a simple display of Christmas lights will give the wedding a snowy, romantic effect.
Additional tips to decorate the venue:
- Make full use of winter greenery.
- Use white miniature Christmas tree lights entwined in the greenery.
- Invite all your guests to bring family presents along to the wedding, as well as wedding gifts and pile them under the Christmas tree.
- Choose a ceremony location with a fireplace and hang stockings.
In choosing wedding colors, red and green are natural colors for a Christmas wedding. Other possibilities, which will work with existing decorations, include silver and white, silver and light blue, burgundy, forest green, and gold and gold and cream
For Christmas wedding favors, Why not give Christmas ornaments as souvenirs? You can make these, buy them, or even have your guests make them right at your wedding as a fun activity. Here is a list of possible souvenirs.
- Personalized Christmas Crackers.
- Wrap small gifts of chocolates as miniature Christmas presents.
- Christmas stockings with potpourri or candy canes.
- Christmas tree decorations
- Personalized Christmas candles
Christmas wedding is simply amazing since everything is themed on the holidays: décor, food, cake, attire, flowers, music, invitations and souvenirs. A simply memorable event will emerge.
