Weddings In December And Event Styling
Christmas is a superb time of year to get married. A couple who choose to get married in December will, most likely want to include a Christmas theme in their event styling. Dcor inspired by the season tends to fall into 2 distinct categories.
Warm
A warm theme involves 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 cheerful and jolly. Imagine red flowers and lots of greenery, lights and gold tinsel, stockings and gifts under the tree. The archetypical bride is the Xmas fairy. A merry, 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 automatically need to be all red and green. For a more formal look, gold and ivory works well, with lots of candles. Your more formal look means using more subtle seasonal decoration, use lots of greenery such as holly, ivy and pine cones. Burgundy is superb, rich colour for a feeling of sophistication. If you've chosen fun and festive go for miniture Xmas tree or poinsettia centre pieces and really have some fun with ornaments and place settings.
Cold
A cold theme incorporates cool colour schemes and event styling. Think silver and blue. Cold Xmas themes use decorations and colours that are cool or icy, typically reflective of the weather. Snowflakes and icicles, iridescent blues and purples. The typical bride would be an ice queen (at least until the wedding night anyhow). A winter wonderland style wedding is best matched to a more contemporary venue like a luxury hotel.
The perfect thing about snow and ice is that they are white and thus work perfectly in weddings. Stay away from cream; it's all about snow white. Snowy, icy backdrops are easy to form. If finance permits have ice sculptures or a snow machine. This theme can either be glitzy and glamorous with lots of glitter and bold metallic colours or timeless and elegant with powdery snow and mistletoe.
Either theme offers brilliant potential for your decoration and event styling. Many couples find it hard to pick. Of course, as I've mentioned in other articles, the venue you choose, in most cases will govern the event styling. Some venues will lend themselves better to one type of event styling. If you haven't picked a venue yet or the one you have booked is quite neutral, ask yourselves these simple questions to help agree on what kind of Christmas wedding to choose.
What do you think first when you think of Xmas?
Which colour napkins would you prefer, ever green or midnight blue?
What do you like best about the season?
Would you select gold or silver tinsel?
The event styling for an Xmas wedding must echo the couples individual personality and tastes. Consider the answers you have given to the questions. I am sure you get the idea! It can be sort of like your preference in wine, a crisp and elegant white or a rich, spicy red?
