Plus, the surroundings during the holidays just have that distinct and warm magical feel you don’t experience in any other seasons.
So, what’s the best way to celebrate Christmas? Throwing the best and most special celebration ever — your wedding! The great thing about holiday weddings is that everyone is in a celebratory mood, with friends and family on their well-deserved rest from work and the kids off from school. You are sure that your nearest and dearest will be in attendance. December also brings that gorgeous winter wonderland that will provide a great backdrop for your exchange of “I dos.”
If you’re already visualizing what your Christmas wedding would look like, let us help you further with these Cicinia’s wonderful ideas you can try.
A Timeless Theme
There are plenty of wedding themes you can do for a Christmastime nuptial. One is a winter wonderland that utilizes the beauty of the surroundings and employs it as part of the overall aesthetic. For a winter wonderland wedding, bring the feel of the outdoors’s snowy terrains indoors by going for a monochromatic approach featuring all-white décor of romantic draperies, enchanting candles, glass plates and cutleries, and an all-white selection of blooms.
A unique invitation
Exude the holiday spirit starting with your invitation by attaching a sprig of pine leaves to them. Tie a beautiful bow and seal everything with gold wax for a stunning finish. It’ll be a nice and unique surprise to those who will receive them.
A festive backdrop
Install a statement piece at your wedding like a beautiful backdrop that guests can use for photos. Decorate it with lots of blooms and greenery along with some vintage lamps. Hang some fairy lights for that whimsical ambiance.
A wonderful and warm bridal gown
Getting married during the colder part of the year calls for some adjustments when it comes to your wedding gown. Elevate your winter bridal look with a matching white bolero, a cozy faux fur wrap, or even an edgy jacket. You’ll feel beautiful and warm all throughout.
A stylish touch to the suit
A cool Christmas-themed idea for the groom and the whole male entourage’s boutonniere? Pinecones! You can keep the pin simple with pinecones and some greenery but you can also add some berries and florals to complete the holiday cheer.
A dreamy bridesmaid’s dress
There are numerous options when it comes to bridesmaid dresses from Cicinia for a Christmas-themed wedding. If you want to go traditional, you can have them wear luxurious velvet gowns of deep green and wine red. If you’re doing the winter wonderland theme, have them dress in sparkly silver bridesmaid dresses. You may also opt to doll them up in soft pastel colors like dusty blue or blush pink bridesmaid dresses that also complement the winter surroundings. Don’t forget their matching wraps or scarves to keep your girls warm!
A charming cocktail
Pass around some Christmas-themed cocktails before the much-awaited toast. You can also have some ready at the wedding bar. You can create many variations of the drinks with different holiday-inspired looks. They’re too pretty to drink but the guests won’t miss taking a sip of this one for sure. Instead of alcohol, you can also serve hot cocoa or some tea.
Got inspired by the list? You can start planning your Christmas wedding, then! Here are just some of the things to note before you proceed: schedule the wedding not too close to the actual Christmas Day so you can still book suppliers who are possibly on break on the 25th. Make sure that you give your guests early heads-ups so your wedding won’t interfere with their holiday plans. Lastly, the holiday season is a peak period for parties and other celebrations so secure your venue ahead of time to make sure that you’ll book the one that suits your wedding theme.
