If you’re wondering why Christmas Wedding is a theme, then I guess you’ve never had a Christmastime wedding at your house! We’ve had two in our family, and I guarantee you that when a December wedding is on the calendar, the theme is most definitely “wedding!”
Some of you are sitting there wide-eyed and nodding your heads “yes,” aren’t you?
Several couples I know had December weddings. In fact, two of them are celebrating anniversaries today. Happy Anniversary! Since I’m always looking for an excuse to plan a wedding, it seemed like a good time to put together a few quick Christmas Wedding inspiration boards.
You read that right: a few. Proof that I’m a bit compulsive sometimes when it’s something I love! 🙂
Traditional Reds and Greens
Beautiful Blues
Soft Pinks
Winter Whites
My favorite today
No matter what colors you prefer, there are a few elements you’ll want to consider for a Christmas Wedding theme. You probably won’t use them all, but each of them will add a touch of Christmas to a December wedding.
- Poinsettias (They come in lots of colors – even bright yellow!)
- Forced bulbs (amaryllis, paperwhites, etc.)
- Roses (especially red, white, or peppermint)
- Evergreen boughs (Simple urns of evergreens with baby’s breath tucked in are gorgeous!)
- Mistletoe
- Berries (holly, cranberries, etc.)
- Pinecones
- Ornaments
- Stockings
- Candles
- Christmas trees – full-size with decorations or incorporated into graphic designs
- Wreaths
- Garlands
- Snowflakes
- Bells
- Crystal
- Mirrors
- Pearls
- Christmas carols
- Nativity sets
- Miniature candy canes tied with ribbon to rice/birdseed bags, bubbles, etc.
- Bride and groom childhood Christmas photos

All of these are so pretty, Susan! We married just after Christmas — the 30th — 41 years ago, and our son married the same day three years ago. It makes for a rather busy holiday season, but the timing was perfect for academics! The year our son married I used their wedding colors (Presbyterian hymnal blue and silver) to decorate our house, as they were marrying in our church. Very fun! Thanks for bringing back those memories!
Just exquisite, Susan. I have been to Christmas weddings that were beautiful. And, I admit to being a lover if weddings.
