Best Christmas-Themed Wedding Ideas and Inspiration

The holiday season is undeniably special: It’s a time of togetherness, marked by celebrations with family and friends; the food and drinks that are closely associated with the season are festive and comforting; and everyone seems to be in an especially good mood. If you and your partner consider yourselves to be Christmas enthusiasts, you might want to think about throwing a thematic wedding on or around December 25. Not only will you have a built-in wedding theme (which makes the decision-making process so much easier) but your guests will also be excited to celebrate the festive season and your nuptials.

So, how do you celebrate in a way that feels more elevated than your standard holiday party? First and foremost, know that you can employ the Christmas aesthetic as overtly or subtly as you’d like. While you certainly can have fake snow on every table, mini stockings as favors, and red and green everything, you can also keep the party understated and elegant by incorporating just a few holiday touches throughout the ceremony and reception. Whether through your color palette and flowers or your drinks and entertainment, there are so many ways to make the Christmas holiday part of your big day.
