The winter season is a magical time to have a wedding; the snow, the festivity, and of course, the cozy feeling it invokes makes it one of the most popular times to tie the knot. However, if you’re planning a winter wedding, why not take it one step further and have a Christmas-themed celebration?
A Christmas-themed wedding isn’t just about the decor, it’s about the atmosphere and the special touches that make it stand out from any other winter wedding. Here are some tips and tricks to help you plan your magical Christmas-themed celebration and make it a memorable day for you, your partner, and your guests.
The Perfect Location
The first step in planning any wedding is finding the perfect location. As you’re planning a Christmas-themed wedding, you need to consider venues that match the theme. Churches, for instance, are a classic venue for Christmas weddings. However, you can also explore other options such as winter lodges, barns with plenty of rustic charm, or even cozy cottages with a roaring fireplace.
Get Creative with Christmas Decorations
Once you’ve secured your venue, it’s time to start decorating. Luckily, Christmas decorations are easy to find, and they’re affordable. Keep the classic colors of Christmas in mind when choosing decor; red, green, and gold are traditional Christmas colors, but you can also mix in some blue or silver too.
Don’t forget to add some sophisticated touches to the decor as well. Twinkling fairy lights, for instance, can create a cozy and romantic atmosphere. By using baubles and mistletoe, you can also create some fun photo opportunities.
Dress Code for Your Guests
When it comes to a Christmas-themed wedding, you need to think of the dress code for your guests. You can make it clear that guests can come dressed in cozy winter outfits, like woolly scarves and hats, long coats, or even dressed in festive colors of red or green.
You can also ask guests to dress in black and white and then encourage them to wear a pop of color, like a Christmas-themed bow on their outfit or even a red scarf.
The Perfect Menu
As a winter wedding, your menu should not only keep your guests warm but also comfort them. Try out an all-Winter themed menu, think of entrées like roast beef or chicken with winter vegetables like carrots, roast potatoes, and honey-glazed parsnips. Mashed potatoes are always a favorite, or you could go for the classic mac n’ cheese with a winter squash twist.
For the dessert, try serving traditional Christmas favorites like mince pies, Christmas cookies, or even a yule log. Keep in mind the hot drinks as well, as these can come in handy for keeping warm.
Keep the Entertainment Going
Aside from the usual DJ that plays during wedding receptions, there are plenty of other ways to keep the entertainment going. You can get your guests in the holiday spirit with a Christmas-themed quiz that they can take part in during the reception. You could also have a photo booth set up and add fun Christmas props for your guests to take photos with.
To keep the festivities going, you can also have a candy buffet or have a ‘decorate your own Christmas cookie’ station. These little activities encourage your guests to mix and mingle with each other, giving your wedding a more personal touch.
Send Your Guests Home with Favors
What’s a wedding without some favors for the guests! Christmas-themed favors are easy to source; think of candles that are winter-scented, hand towels with the happy couple’s name engraved, or a small packet of hot chocolate with a mini candy cane.
Conclusion
A Christmas-themed wedding is the perfect way to celebrate your union during the winter season. With the proper planning and the perfect execution, a Christmas-themed wedding can elevate your celebrations to the next level. Remember to think about the perfect venue, decor choices, the dress code for guests, the menu, entertainment, and also adding a final touch with a Christmas-themed favor. With these tips and tricks, you can create a magical and memorable wedding that you and your guests will never forget.
