It's the best time of the year for a Christmas wedding! If you love the holidays as much as we do, you might want to consider having a winter wedding close to Christmas. A December wedding can be the ideal occasion to celebrate the season and throw the best holiday party ever. But how do you celebrate in a more elevated manner than, say, your annual tacky sweater party or White Elephant gift exchange?

Because weddings are our speciality, we've come up with some pretty chic—yet festive! —ideas that will undoubtedly put you (and all your guests) in the holiday spirit. Our first rule of the season? Don't go too far! Instead of having fake snow on every table, mini stockings as favours, and red and green everything, keep your décor elevated by sparingly and intentionally sprinkling a dose of holiday magic.

To get you started, we've compiled a list of 10 creative, seasonally appropriate, and totally classy Christmas wedding ideas.

01 Create an Invitation Suite

The invitation suite, just as it sets the tone for the big day, will most likely set the scene for your wedding photo gallery and/or album. As a result, it's a great place to embrace the season by styling paper goods with ornaments, ribbons, and greenery.

02 Welcome Guests

Consider including an ornament in the welcome bag to subtly welcome guests to a December wedding. You can pick any style you want but try to match it to some aspect of your wedding, such as the location, theme, or colour palette.

03 Set the scene

Greenery is, of course, a natural choice for a Christmas wedding. However, this does not imply that you must use it in an expected manner. We love how the garlands are used to line the tent draping, chandeliers, and pool—not to mention the berry accents and classic red ribbon!

04 Christmas trees are used to frame the altar

What is a Christmas-themed wedding without trees? Frame your altar with lit-up evergreens—bonus points if you're getting married after the sun goes down!

05 Serve Cocktails for the Holidays

Incorporating flavours like eggnog, peppermint, and cranberry into your food and beverages can be a nice (yet subtle!) way to add a festive touch.

We hope that you are now sorted with your Christmas wedding, if you want the best shows for the occasion, you must see Avalia Shoes.
