Wedding Christmas

Wedding Christmas

There is nothing more romantic than a Christmas wedding.  What a wonderful time of year; the snow (depending on where you live), the decorations, and the soothing soft glow of candles. The holiday season just seems magical and filled with love, hope, and peace. 

Here are some ideas you may wish to consider incorporating when planning your wedding.

- Consider having musicians play Christmas carols as your prelude music. Or maybe have a children's caroling choir either singing before the service in the aisles or between the tables at the reception.  The children could also hand out the ceremony programs (wrapped in holiday ribbons) as the guests arrive.

- Use lots of red ribbon and Christmas greens with pine cones for a natural touch.  Rather than the normal flower arrangements use Poinsettias which are the Christmas flower.

- Nothing says romance more than candles. Plan on adding some for a warm cozy ambiance your guests will enjoy

- For an unique presentation print Christmas song sheets on parchment paper and  tie with  red velvet ribbons for  each guest..

- For a cute idea at your reception leave a small wreath tied  with a Christmas ribbon at each place setting.

- Decorate with a Christmas tree in the corner.  Have some ornaments printed with your names and wedding date for the tree.  If your budget allows, consider having an ornament for each  guest to take from the tree as they they leave the reception.

- Why not dress your bridesmaids in black velvet tops and plaid Christmas skirts.

- Add some sparkle to your flower bouquets with silver bells or ornaments.

- For a special touch add gold with red accents to bouquets and any center pieces.

- For a cute centerpiece why not use small pine trees individually decorated with tiny Christmas decorations.  Or for the budget minded bride you could wrap different sized "presents"  stacked and tied up with Christmas ribbons.

- For a dreamy feeling drape white lights and garland around posts or in front of the cake table, or maybe the head table to give off a warm glow.

- Instead of a bridal bouquet carry a white muff. If you want to add color, pin silk poinsettias on the muff.

- To warm your guests and to make them feel welcome at the reception serve  mulled cider and maybe add Christmas cookies to the dessert table.

These are just a few ideas on how to plan a Christmas wedding; with a little imagination the possibilities are endless to make your wedding as unique as you are.
