Christmas is the season of togetherness and family. As December sets in, our hearts are filled with a sense of joy arising from the fact that Christmas is right around the corner!

Open the windows and a chilled winter breeze wafts in! Take a walk by the church and listen to lively carols playing to the tune of your favorate Christmas rhymes! The streets are crowded with holiday shoppers in search if the best splurges of the season!

Yes, Christmas cheer is in!

Christmas season in itself offers the perfect theme for a wedding. Why so you ask?

Christmas is a time when family from all over the world fly in to be with their loved ones. Their hearts are light, in mood for celebration. There is joy sprinkled over the lives of everyone. This makes Christmas a ready-made setting for a theme wedding.

Christmas themed weddings are common spectacles around the world, especially in snow-fledged areas such as Switzerland and Canada. Christmas weddings are held at beautiful locations, filled with scenic abundance of pines, snow and other winter specialties.

Let us see now what a Christmas-themed wedding has to offer!

 

Classic Colours!

Christmas weddings share common shades such as red, green, golden, etc. As Christmas weddings revolve around the festival theme, most of the décor will be colour combinations of dark red, silver, and white. While shades of red may result in the entire Christmas theme turning rich and traditional, varying shades of white, yellow and off-white can create the illusion of space and lavishness.

Christmas weddings can turn magical if sprinkles and glitter is added to the décor. A bit of sparkle on the table cloth, gold powder dust across the dry Chrysanthemums, lavender ribbons and all will give the Christmas wedding a nice homely feel.

 

Christmas Wedding Theme secrets!

Elegant Christmas weddings revolve around simple ideas done exquisitely.  Most this theme weddings focus on minimalistic designs, worked up with colour and texture. Bouquets in winter themes include round bunches of cream or white roses, freesia, daisies, often in frosty shades. Silver and golden dry flowers also make great additions to the bridal bouquet.

The wedding cake is going to be the star of the event! The wedding cakes can be based on exclusive winter objects such as snowflakes, raindeers, santa clauses, and the like. Designer cake vendors can custom-create beautiful Christmas wedding cakes that can wow the bride and the groom. Delicate embroidery done on the wedding cake in the form of flakes, laced with ribbon and flowers will turn your wedding cake into a real Christmas delight! 

Christmas weddings provide wonderful opportunities to host gorgeous centerpieces. Combinations of pines and lilies evoke feelings of the season and snow. Pair these up with long white candles and silk ribbon – There you have Christmas at your table!

Golden table cloth and table wear adds a royal effect to the event. Drapers in soft shades help complete the effect.

Christmas wedding invitations should not look like holiday cards. While we intent to highlight the Christmas theme through the wedding invitation, the theme should not be over done. Christmas wedding invitations should consist of soft designs in mild shades of lavender, pink and cream. Red and green make bright and attractive presentations for invitations. Embossed images of holly, pine trees, candy canes, gifts and snowflakes give Christmas cheer to the wedding invite.

 

Christmas Wedding Wear!

The wedding day is nearing and the bride has yet to select the bridal wear for her Christmas theme wedding! Familiar situation?

If yes, then realize that you are not the only bride facing this dilemma!

Choosing a Christmas theme wedding must not be a blockage when designing your dream outfit. A Christmas wedding outfit must essentially follow two rules :-

1)      The outfit must be simple and cheery.

2)      Embellishments must be done with shades of red, gold or silver, with light, soft cloth to give a fluffy effect.

Bold ideas can be entertained by draping bright red sashes across the pure white wedding gown. To further make a statement, brides nowadays use a careful splash of colour, such as a colourful bow at the waistline or a large net trail, filled with beads and sequins to give the effect of being winter-kissed.

And of course, let’s not forget the fact that it is going to be ice cold! Make sure you have a beautiful silver faux-fur coat to drape around yourself in case you are planning an outdoor reception or a nice walk out in the decorated yard with your newly-married spouse!

 

Christmas Wedding Feast!

And so the party is full on! The guests are having a gala time being entertained by live bands and classical music. Christmas carols ring in the background as the couple settle into their reception lounge.

What would be the perfect menu for a Christmas Wedding dinner?

It goes without saying that rich plum Christmas cake is first on the menu. The drinks should include red wine and champagne. Delicious Christmas Yule and chocolate log are sure sights at the counters.

The menu should be writhing with Christmas delights like roasted chicken, stuffed turkey, eggnog, Christmas pudding and the like. Christmas wedding feasts are a real treat to attend, especially when they are celebrated in the warmth of dear and near ones.
