Setting up a Festive Christmas Wedding
It is said repeatedly, Christmas is the most amazing time of the year. And if you are planning a wedding that’s grand enough to endure the ever-thickening frost, then Christmas is the correct season to get married. Christmas is when members of the family gather together and this is also when the churches exhibit the most vibrant and bright decorations. It is also that time of the year when everyone is in their best moods.
Shades of red and green are plentiful during this festive season and so it’s only natural for you to choose to infuse these colors in your overall wedding motif. This does not mean that you should buy a wedding dress that is primarily red and green. Instead, you can opt for the traditional white and emphasize your dress with sequins or beads. The faux-fur wrap and muff are absolute needs during this day. You would also be one unique bride if you hold a poinsetta arrangement as a wedding bouquet.
Flowers can be pretty uncommon during this time, hence, they are much more costly. Springs of holly and white candles are excellent ideas for your wedding party/reception décor. You can also use a lot of poinsettias with red, gold and green ribbons. Top this with candle wedding favors and you’ll have your guests feeling all warm and romantic! And just to emphasize the date of your wedding, you can also build a Christmas tree in one corner of the wedding reception hall.
You can also think about employing some musicians to play Christmas carols as your wedding prelude music. A well-trained children’s choir could also add to the originality of your big day. These very children could also hand out wedding favors candles as people arrive to your wedding reception.
Now down to the wedding menu. What food should you serve on this special day? There are two simple protein dishes that should be offered during Christmas dinner – roasted turkey and baked ham. The turkey should be nice and golden brown including your selection of spices. With baked ham, be sure that you coat it with pineapple juice, orange juice, or mustard and brown sugar. You may also share baked ham as edible wedding favors.
These are just a few of the ideas on ways to brighten up your Christmas day wedding. With just a little imagination and lots of creativity, you can go a long way.
