Winter Christmas Wedding - 3 Festive Ideas for Your Holiday Wedding

A winter Christmas wedding can be a magical event, especially if you live in a region that gets snow. Even if you don’t have snow on your wedding day, you can still transition your wedding space into a winter wonderland.

Just because you are getting married in winter doesn’t mean that you can’t have some fun with your wedding day. There are many great things about the holiday season, so be creative and use those festive things to your advantage.

You will want to strategically schedule your wedding so it isn’t too close to Christmas yet close enough so it feels like the holidays. Late November after Thanksgiving or even the week between Christmas and New Years can also work out well.

To get you started, here are three ideas about winter weddings:

Winter Wedding Locations

Look for winter Christmas wedding locations that let you take advantage of beautiful seasonal landscapes. Snow covered hills and seasonally decorated reception spaces make the perfect backdrop for your ceremony and reception.

A rustic or country inn with a fireplace sets the perfect tone for your big day. Some country clubs have large windows that allow your guests to watch the snow falling and deer playing outside.

Check with your church and reception location for other events around the time of your wedding. Often churches and reception spaces will be decorated for the season with beautiful flowers that you will be able to utilize for your wedding day at no cost.

A Festive Touch

Don’t be afraid to use Christmas or winter themed decorations at your wedding reception. Have fun with it, but don’t go too far making your wedding look like Clark Griswold’s house.

You can combine several theme items, like snowflakes, Christmas ornaments and trees, or you can choose one item for your theme.

Use your chosen item or items in all aspects of your wedding, including invitations, cake topper, reception decorations and wedding favors.

Strategically placed lights can produce a stunning effect. For example, consider lighting up your floral centerpieces with small LED lights for a great seasonal touch.

Spreading Holiday Cheer

Nothing says the holidays like a good stiff drink. Offering a unique winter Christmas wedding signature drink can be a lot of fun.

Choose a drink made with peppermint schnapps or even a warm drink to make your guests comfortable. Give it a unique name and promote it at the bar with creative signs.
