Deck the halls with boughs of holly, poinsettias and pine garland as you celebrate the joy of the holiday season along with your love for one another in a Christmas wedding, featuring the timeless yuletide colors of red and green. This winter wedding design is joyful and classic; bursting with dazzling holiday details. Guests will delight in all the stunning details that bring the magic of Christmas into your wedding day, at a Christmas wedding.
Adding Christmas elements into a traditional wedding is simple. You may simply start by having a Christmas tree; but, instead of decorating the Christmas tree in the traditional way, you might add elements that are related to your wedding color palette and wedding theme. To add festive touch, you can add banners or wrap a string of lighting.
For the ceremony, our backdrop structure was hung with sheer voile curtains in white, then draped with sumptuous wine red draping fabric. The crimson shade is stunning and opulent looking. There's plenty of length to the drape, so that you can create swooping designs across archways, aisles, or anywhere you want to add a dash of luxe color and texture. The rich red color is perfect for a Christmas wedding.
Atop the draping fabric, a pine garland was added and shaped by hand, then intertwined with a Poinsettia Garland, boasting large red blooms that are representative of the holiday season. These poinsettias have a beautiful, velvety red finish. Festive red and white striped ribbon and green satin ribbon are also woven into the Christmas floral swag, adding a bit of whimsy and charm. Of course, our happy couple simply must have their first kiss as husband and wife below the traditional Christmas mistletoe, glistening with shimmering glitter and white berries.
After the ceremony, guests will jingle and mingle their way to dining tables, where a scene from a Christmas carol awaits them. The long dining tables are each laid with a crimson red table linen, overlaid with a white fur runner. Fruitwood cross back chairs in a rustic wood finish add warmth and character to the holiday wedding scene. Nearby, the wedding cake is perched on a fetching red cake stand, accompanied by a four foot flocked Christmas tree and marquee letters that spell out "J-O-Y". Your guests will be like kids on Christmas Eve, just waiting to take their seats and become immersed in this decadent holiday display.
The traditional Christmas centerpiece consists of a set of Wood Christmas Candles, and two hurricane vases, filled with evergreen craft stems, crystal clear acrylic gems and fresh cranberries.
A gold floating candle place atop the berries will add a lovely ambience to the table as the sun descends. A Gold Scalloped Champagne Flute is ready for some bubbly to toast the happy newlyweds!
Once seated at the table, guests can more completely take in all the enchanting details. Each place is set with a white scalloped charger and an Ornate Gold Dinner Plate. The coordinating Ornate Gold Dessert Plate is then added, and topped with a crisp white linen stocking. These would be simple to trim or stamp for an extra bit of personalization. Tucked inside is a set of Gold Hammered flatware, including a fork, knife and spoon. The gold flatware set is tied together with a twist of pine garland, and tied with a DIY wood Christmas Tree painted in black chalk paint. Guest names are added with a white bistro chalk pen. The addition of loose poinsettias, sprigs of pine, miniature pinecones, gold mercury votive holders and white ball Christmas ornaments creates a scene that is sure to invoke the dancing of sugarplums in many a wedding guest's head.
For a lovely wedding favor that is also useful, Jingle Bell Wands are a choice that is sure to make everyone quite jolly! Red, green and gold jingle bells are threaded onto a silvertone Bracelet, then wired and glued to a wood dowel with evergreen craft twists. Mini pine cones and satin ribbon in red stripe and solid green are tied into pretty bows, and adhered with hot glue. These happy little wands are perfect for guests to ring during a Christmas wedding reception, when they'd like the bride and groom to have a kiss. They are also a wonderful stocking stuffer to keep for holidays to come.
For a December wedding to remember, leave no detail untouched. This includes your sweetheart table chairs, where a beautiful way to add festive decor and color to your Christmas wedding is with this Poinsettia and Pine Sweetheart Chair Decor to the bride's and groom's chairs. They're crafted from wood hoops and Mr. and Mrs. letters, decorated with Poinsettia Garland and satin ribbons.
