I'm sure there are many ideas that you and your partner can come up with on your own, however, here is a brief outline of some of them that may help you on your way.
• Your vows should come directly from the heart; however, the wording could be played with in order to create a magical feeling for you both.
• As Christmas is a religious time you could always stick with the traditional vows, maybe embellishing upon this for the sake of the Christmas season.
INVITATIONS:
• Leave a little more time before sending your invitations as people's diaries will be very busy this time of year.
• You can highlight the Christmas theme on your invitations without making it look too much like a Christmas card, for example, simply introducing a border made of white snowflakes around your text.
WEDDING FAVOURS:
• Ice cube place card holders
• Treasure ball – filled with Christmas candy
• Holiday ornament candles
• Miniature wedding snow globes
• Personalised Christmas crackers
• Mini Christmas trees
ENTERTAINMENT:
• Ask a children's choir to sing at the ceremony.
• Hire a wedding magician to give your wedding breakfast a little more….well you know – magical!
• Any singer or band that is willing to either provide part or a whole Christmas show.
DECORATIONS:
• This one is simple – except this time you might not want to let the kids have a go.
• Miniature Christmas trees with lots of presents underneath
• Lots of candle light
• Glitter!
THE CAKE:
• You could have a cake that looks like a stack of Christmas gifts
• Decorate with Iced holly and berries
• Incorporate the traditional colours and symbols
THE ARRIVAL:
• For a true Christmas look you could arrive on a Christmas sleigh with Santa at the reins.
• If you'd prefer to arrive by the normal means you could work a little magic with the decorations.
FLOWERS:
• Check with your florist which flowers are in season over Christmas.
• Bear in mind that flowers can be more expensive this time of year.
• Use holly, pine and sprigs of Ivy.
• Add mistletoe to accent corsages and boutonnieres.
• Place pots of poinsettia in the centre of each table, tied with a ribbon trim.
Well that's a start anyway! Between the two of you, I'm sure you'll find many more ways in which to make the perfect Christmas wedding.
