Follow these tips to create a winter wonderland for a cozy holiday celebration.
The holiday season is such a magical time of year. It’s the time when people slow down and become introspective, look back on their year in reflection and appreciation, and look ahead with new excitement. Everyone is in great spirits, friends and family are all around, and the love in the air is nearly palpable. Because this season is filled with such overwhelming positive feelings, it is the perfect time to be married!
Whether your ideal Christmastime wedding theme will reflect a traditional Currier and Ives Yuletide or if you desire a more modern holiday setting, you can certainly incorporate your favorite aspects of the festive season into your theme as lavishly or as subtly as you desire. Here are four tips from me to you for wonderful ways to bring the holiday feel into your wedding theme, whether you’re opting for traditional and rustic or urban and cool.
1. Winterize from the Start
Every great theme is tied together through all aspects of the event. Let your guests know that your wedding will be festive from the very beginning. I love the idea of putting fake snow inside of invitations for modern affairs, or stuffing tinsel or lush greens in the envelope for traditional themes. When your guests open it they will immediately know that they are RSVP’ing to a fabulously festive event!
2. Pick the Perfect Christmas Color Scheme
This season is truly elegant. There is no beauty quite like a freshly fallen snow, and the chill outside seems to bring people closer together. Play on this theme by incorporating winter whites, blues, and silvers to create a cold-outside, warm-hearted-inside ambience. Crisp blues, silvers, and whites create a glamorous color scheme for modern Christmas wedding themes. read more
