Christmas Wedding
A Christmas wedding can be the most exciting party of the whole Christmas season if you do it up right. Christmas is my favorite time of year with all of the lights and decorations. A do-it-yourself Yuletide wedding is easy to pull off.
The colors of the season are so much fun. Rich shades of red, green, burgundy or blue give an heir of elegance. You can use just one or mix some of the colors. Add some metallic gold or silver in with your base color and your wedding will sparkle above the rest.
You can add some glitter to your bouquets. Add twinkle lights in clear, multi-colored, or one solid color like red, blue, or green. They can be placed in the church, on tables at the reception site and on Christmas trees or other large plants. Blinking or non-blinking lights or a combination of both blinking and non-blinking will make your decorations more interesting.
Poinsettia plants in red or white will make beautiful church decorations and great table centerpieces at your reception. They can be purchased inexpensively at Wal-Mart or grocery stores. During the reception, they can be given away as door prizes to wedding guests to take home with them when they leave.
Serve warm comfort foods such as pasta casseroles and other pasta dishes. Lasagna, macaroni and cheese, stroganoff with noodles, and goulash with pasta are all crowd-pleasers.
Homemade Christmas ornaments make great wedding favors and place cards. Below are some great ideas to help you with your Christmas wedding.
