Lots of gold and silver, a crackling fire and a Christmas tree blazing with tiny white lights and strings of popcorn! Think rich red berries and dark green ivy, brown pine cones and brightly colored ornaments and gifts. So many reasons why Christmas is the perfect time to organize a wedding.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Christmas Theme Wedding D\u00e9cor<\/h2><\/div>

Intensive hues of marsala or berry red, and emerald green are the obvious choice when you want that festive feel, but they are by no means the only choice. You can go with the \u201cwhite Christmas\u201d theme and use a clean and pale palette, accented with metallic shades of gold, silver or bronze. D\u00e9cor should be all about creating an inviting atmosphere for guests and sprinkle a little shimmer and sparkles for the festivity. A real Christmas tree (or trees) is a fantastic choice, whether miniature versions for your centerpieces or one larger tree as a focal point for the room. When working with Christmas theme, options for centerpieces are endless. Think evergreens, pine cones, logs, lanterns, and candles \u2013 anything that makes you feel like you want to cozy up next to a fireplace by looking at it!<\/p>\n<\/div>

Winter Wedding Gown<\/h2><\/div>

Long sleeve gowns are elegant way to add the dramatic twist to an elegant gown. When it comes to fabrics, look for winter wedding dresses made from duchess satin and heavyweight lace.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Short dress is not an option, but you can still rock strapless or spaghetti straps if you want to. Just make sure that you cover your arms, and this is where you can go extra. Long majestic capes, luxurious fur shrugs or a bridal jacket can not only be the perfect thing to cover up and stay warm, but also a very luxurious compliment to your overall look.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Christmas Wedding Invitations<\/h2><\/div>

Christmas wedding invitations and announcements have to be carefully chosen or people will think it\u2019s just another season greetings card. If you do not want your friends and family to accidentally miss out because they do not think of opening your card until after the Christmas, opt for customized printed envelopes, which clearly says that it is a wedding card with the holiday-themed border with your names. For added security, use the traditional thick white card instead of the folded cards. The bordering frame can be related to Christmas by using white engraved snowflakes, holly trim, poinsettias or bells with red ribbon bow on top to represent wedding bells and tinkling Christmas bells.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Send your Christmas wedding invitations and announcements early so that your friends receive them in time and do not plan something else during the holidays. Make sure you send the cards at least two months prior because people start planning for Christmas Holidays since then. You can attach a small card with important dates for your most important guests along with the wedding invitations that they can always keep up with them, so that they do not miss events. You can use double envelopes. A thicker outer envelope to protect the showy beautiful envelope and more delicate and elegant interior can make your wedding invitation card look elite. Formal Christmas wedding envelopes can be heavy parchment paper that looks as if it is handmade and thus, looks very interesting.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Bridal Bouquet<\/h2><\/div>

There may not be many flowers that bloom in the cold of winter<\/a>, but Christmas wedding bouquets are always luscious and lovely. Red roses sprinkled with crystals or baby’s breath have a snow-kissed look, or you may choose an all-white bouquet with ice blue accents. Poinsettias, holly, and snowberries are other popular choices for Christmas bouquets.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Cake for Xmas Wedding<\/h2><\/div>

There are plenty of design ideas for your festive wedding cake, from holiday color palettes, to an enchanted winter wonderland, or even a touch of golden glamour. Ultimately, you’ll want a cake design to match your overall theme.\u00a0 For a rustic wedding, a naked cake where the cake itself shows through the frosting, looks like a dusting of snow on the ground, and you can top it with rosemary sprigs, herbs, chocolate curls, and cinnamon sticks to complete the rustic winter look. If you prefer something more elegant and simple, you can go with a fondant cake with red accents and fondant snowflakes. And if you are into full winter wonderland extravaganza go all out on sugar crystals and sparkly details.<\/p>\n

Winter is all about big flavors. Go for the seasonal favorites your guests have been anxiously waiting for! Try blood orange filling and cinnamon buttercream or a brown butter spice cake with cream cheese.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
