December Wedding Event Styling
Christmas is a brilliant time of year to get married.
A couple who opt to marry in December will, probably want to incorporate a Christmas theme in their event styling.
Decoration inspired by the season tends to fall into 2 different categories.
Warm A warm theme incorporates 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 a lot of greenery, lights and golden tinsel, stockings and presents under the tree.
The archetypical bride is the Christmas fairy.
A festive, warm wedding will work brilliantly with a more traditional style venue such as a historic building.
Choose whether you'd prefer formal and traditionalist or fun and festive.
This type of wedding does not necessarily need to be all red and green.
For a more formal look, gold and ivory works well, with masses of candles.
Your more formal look means using more subtle seasonal décor, use lots of greenery such as holly, ivy and pine cones.
Burgundy is wonderful, rich colour for a feeling of sophistication.
If you've opted for fun and festive go for mini Xmas tree or poinsettia centre pieces and really have some fun with ornaments and place settings.
Cold A cold theme invloves using cool colour schemes and event styling.
Think silver and blue.
Cold Christmas themes use decorations and colours that are cool or cold, normally reflective of the weather.
Snowflakes and icicles, glistening blues and purples.
The typical bride would be an ice queen (at least until the wedding night anyway).
A winter wonderland style event is best matched to a more modern venue like a plush hotel.
The best thing about snow and ice is that they are white and therefore work perfectly in weddings.
Stay away from ivory; it's all about snow white.
Snowy, wintry backdrops are easy to create.
If finance permits have ice sculptures or a snow machine.
This theme can either be extravagant and glamorous with plenty of glitter and bold metallic colours or timeless and elegant with powdery snow and mistletoe.
Either theme offers fantastic potential for your decorating and event styling.
Many couples find it hard to pick.
However, as I've mentioned in previous articles, the venue you pick, in most cases will determine the event styling.
Some venues will lend themselves better to one type of event styling.
If you have not picked a venue yet or the one you've booked is pretty neutral, ask yourselves these simple questions to help agree on what kind of Christmas wedding to choose.
Consider the answers you have given to the questions.
I am sure you get the idea! It is sort of like your preference in wine, a crisp and elegant white or a rich, spicy red?

- What do you think first 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 pick gold or silver tinsel?
Consider the answers you have given to the questions.
