Christmas is a wonderful time of year to get married. A couple who opt to get married in December will, almost certainly want to use a Christmas theme in their event styling. Dcor inspired by the season tends to fall into two different categories.
Warm
A warm theme includes warm colour schemes and ideas. Think red, gold and green. Christmas weddings in this category use traditional Xmas decorations and bright colour schemes. They are festive and jolly. Imagine red flowers and loads of greenery, lights and gold tinsel, stockings and presents under the tree. The archetypical bride is the Christmas fairy. A merry, warm wedding will work brilliantly with a more traditional style venue such as a historic building.
Decide on whether you would prefer formal and conservative or fun and festive. This type of wedding does not inevitably need to be all red and green. For a more formal look, gold and ivory works well, with lots of candles. Your more formal look means using more subtle seasonal dcor, use lots of greenery such as holly, ivy and pine cones. Burgundy is wonderful, rich colour for a feeling of sophistication. If you have opted for fun and festive go for mini Xmas tree or poinsettia centrepieces and really have some fun with accessories and place settings.
Cold
A cold theme includes cool colour schemes and event styling. Think silver and blue. Cold Xmas themes use decorations and colours that are cool or icy, usually reflective of the weather. Snowflakes and icicles, glistening blues and purples. The archetypal bride would be an ice queen (at least until the wedding night anyway). A winter wonderland style wedding is best suited to a more contemporary venue like a plush hotel.
The perfect thing about snow and ice is that they are white and therefore work perfectly in weddings. Stay away from cream; it's all about snow white. Snowy, icy backdrops are easy to build. If finance permits have ice sculptures or a snow machine. This theme can either be extravagant and glamorous with plenty of glitter and daring metallic colours or timeless and elegant with powdery snow and mistletoe.
Each theme offers brilliant potential for your decorating and event styling. Many couples struggle to decide. Of course, as I've mentioned in other articles, the venue you decide on, in most cases will influence the event styling. Some venues will lend themselves better to one type of event styling. If you have not chosen a venue yet or the one you have booked is quite neutral, ask yourselves these simple questions to help reveal what kind of Christmas wedding to choose.
What comes to mind when you think of Xmas?
Which colour napkins would you choose, ever green or midnight blue?
What do you like best about the season?
Would you select gold or silver tinsel?
The event styling for an Xmas wedding must echo the couples individual personality and tastes. Think about the answers you have given to the questions. I am sure you get the idea! It can be kind of like your first choice in wine, a crisp and elegant white or a rich, spicy red?
