Christmas wedding ideas

A Christmas wedding can be one of the most magical times to get married. The festive season is the perfect time to celebrate your love with family and friends, and there are plenty of ways to make your big day extra special. 

If you’re looking for Christmas wedding ideas to help transform your big day, here are a few ideas to get you started.

Go all-out Christmas

Make the most of the festivities by having a Christmas-themed wedding. You can incorporate traditional Christmas elements into the décor, such as a Christmas tree, holly, ivy and mistletoe. Even if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, you could also opt for a winter wonderland theme, with sparkling lights and snowflakes. 

All the details

Get your guests into the festive spirit by sending out Christmas-themed wedding invitations. You could even include a festive poem or quote on your invitations. Give your bridal party a festive makeover by having them wear Santa hats or reindeer antlers. You could also ask your guests to wear festive clothing or accessories. Hang mistletoe around your venue to add that feeling of romance! Cinnamon-scented candles will also bring a fully immersive experience to guests.

Wedding dress adornments

Add some Christmas sparkle to your wedding dress with a beaded or sequined bodice or a shimmering veil. For your groom, a red or green waistcoat or tie would look great. As Gold Coast wedding photographers we love to capture all that sparkle and joy.

Wedding venue

Transform your wedding reception into a winter wonderland with plenty of sparkling lights, candles and snowflakes. You could even hire an ice sculpture or have a fake snow machine to really wow your guests. Snow white paper confetti is an obvious choice for guests to throw over you after the ceremony.

Christmas catering

Serve up some festive food and drink at your wedding reception. Think Christmas canapés, a roast dinner or a festive buffet. And don’t forget the Christmas pudding! For drinks, why not serve mulled wine or eggnog? And finally, why not have a Christmas wedding cake that is truly festive to top it all off!
