The holidays are approaching, here are some tips to plan your wedding around them:

Winter holidays have always had a special kind of appeal. It may be the fact that they celebrate miracles or the fact that they always remind us of the most beautiful moments in our childhoods, but one thing is for sure, they make for magic moments!

It is natural then that many couples choose to center their wedding day around these wonderful celebrations. If you want to do this too, here are some basic tips to get you started: 

• A Christmas wedding doesn’t necessarily have to fall on the 24th or 25th of December. In fact, anything around that date will still fit into a “Christmas” theme. Even more than that, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll just have a big Christmas party that “happens” to be your wedding too. Instead of looking at it this way, turn it upside down: make it a wedding that “happens” to have some Christmas motifs incorporated in it (Christmas-like food, acorns as décor, maybe a Christmas tree and so on). 

• A New Year’s Eve wedding is a great idea especially if you want to “overdo” it a bit with glitter. There’s no other holiday to be more “acceptant” of glitter and sparkles than the New Year’s Eve. As long as you keep yourself balanced and as long as you are creative, you can create a really shiny and elegant wedding. 

• You can simply focus on some winter holiday colors if you don’t want to go “all the way” with your holiday wedding theme. Red and green are the perfect example here and they can look really stylish and vibrant as wedding colors. 

• If you really want to save on spending money on decorations, consider having your reception at a venue that already provides annual Christmas and/or New Year’s decorations.
