Wedding Theme

You can choose a gold or silver, tables with lots of candles to create a warm atmosphere. Red Christmas flowers and dark green leaves are symbols both for love and Christmas. How about mistletoe hanging in the ceiling?

Winter Bride vs. summer Bride

It is easy to picture a summer bride, a winter bride can be just as beautiful, or even more.

Or a red cardigan and red shoes, dress him in green! A bridal bouquet with winter flowers fits perfectly: Amaryllis, azalea, Christmas rose, cyclamen … (No need to look for summer flowers).

If you really want a wedding with a Christmas theme, especially if there are children around, you can try to arrange to get married by Santa himself, or choose to marry at a Christmas market, on a ski slope or late in the afternoon surrounded by snow and torches. Christmas is magical and magic has no limits!

Let your imagination flow and fill your Christmas with love!
