It’s the most wonderful time to get married! If you are considering having a Christmas wedding, I’ve got some fabulous ideas for you of ways you can inject a little bit of festive cheer.
Hello, my name is Kelly and I’m a little too into Christmas. I feel like I’m the most qualified person to write this because I’ve been listening to Christmas music for longer than I’d care to admit and I have a festive candle burning on my desk. I’m well into the Christmas spirit and I hope these festive Christmas wedding ideas get you into the spirit too!
Christmas Trees
Sure, this may be one of the most obvious ways of adding a little Christmas cheer, but I just love Christmas trees. They make a wonderful focal point in your venue, a spot to gather your wedding gifts or even a photobooth backdrop!

Sweet Outdoor Photo Opportunities
The photos don’t all have to be taken indoors. If it’s snowy, rainy or just plain gloomy, embrace it! These are the things that Christmas weddings are made of.

I love a seasonal bouquet and it doesn’t get more Christmassy than pinecones and greenery!

Cosy Blankets
To have and to hold, in case you get cold. Cosy blankets add to the look and feel of the wedding, but they are also practical and your guests will thank you!

Christmas Bauble Favours
Wedding favours that double as practical items that guests can use = a huge win!

Candles
I think all weddings should have candles, but particularly Christmas weddings. Even better if these are scented candles and the whole room smells like a Christmas wonderland.
