For some couples, it’s the perfect time of year to get tie the know because of the festive mood and the intimate atmosphere. Here are 10 ways to make your holiday wedding the magical moment you’ve always dreamed of because it is the season to be married.

When you’re getting married around the holidays, the first and easiest way to tie in the holidays is to use Christmas colors as your color scheme. Embrace the red, green, and gold to create the perfect Christmas aesthetic.

Holiday Décor

Between Christmas trees, wreathes, tinsel, Christmas lights, candles, mistletoe, reindeer, and more, there is so much that you can include to decorate your venue to become the central place for guests to be merry and bright. Even adding a Christmas tree in the corner can bring the holiday spirit into a room. Or you can climb to the rooftop and decorate the ceiling with hundreds of twinkling Christmas lights. Maybe you hang wreathes or Christmas bows from the backs of each chair. No matter what you decide, there are so many ways to capture the Christmas spirit through easy Christmas décor.

Christmas Themed Signage

Whether you decorate your sign with holiday florals or tie in a creative holiday phrase, guests will love the added Christmas décor. You can even include Christmas themed phrases such as “Tis the Season to be Married,” “All you need is love and cookies,” “Eat, Drink, and Be Married,” or “And to all a good night.” Guests will love the holiday spirit and the festive creativity.

Mistletoe and Holly

Using holiday florals to decorate your wedding space is one of the best and easiest ways to incorporate the holidays! Ask your florist about option including mistletoe, holly, pinecones, fresh pine, and red roses. It’ll add the perfect details to your holiday aesthetic.

Ornament Guest Book

Have guests help you decorate your first Christmas tree as a couple by having them sign ornaments. Buy plain ornaments and allow guests to sign them as your guest book. Just make sure that there’s a bare tree next to the table so guests can hang their ornaments once they’re done!

Gift Tag Escort Cards

Whether you have a red-velvet flavored cake, decorate your cake with fresh holly berries, pinecones, and pine, or top it with a Christmas tree, the cake is one of the best ways to tie in your holiday theme.

Hot Chocolate Bar

It’s December, it’s cold, and all people want to do is stay inside and drink some hot chocolate. Give your guests the opportunity to warm up with a hot chocolate bar. Give them the option to add marshmallows, whipped cream, or candy canes to their drink and watch as they warm up and embrace the holiday spirit.

Christmas Cocktails

Help your guests get even more into the holiday festivities with some Christmas cocktails. Whether you include “The Merry Gentleman” or “St. Nick’s Tonic” these merry mashups will certainly add to the Christmas cheer.
