Ideas For Holiday Wedding Themes

What about looking at the holidays we all enjoy and choose a date for your wedding from the calendar where both you and guests can enjoy a few days extra because your country’s national celebration. Take the date and from this holiday choose this theme.

Valentine’s Day Wedding: Think rampant cupids, red hearts, heart shaped cakes, roses, celebrate love in the biggest, prettiest sense and enjoy your day in a surrounded by loving friends and family. Send out Valentine shaped invitations and decorate in pink, red and white.

Halloween Wedding: Go Gothic! Everyone wears black including all the wedding party! Choose an old church, castle or house as the venue. For the children arrange the bobbing of apples, ghost spotting etc. Little bags of sweets would make great favours.

Christmas Wedding: If possible pick a wedding reception site that’s already decked out and decorated in the Christmas theme – choose Christmas colours for clothing such as the groom’s bow tie and cummerbund. Whether winter or summer; floral wreaths could be created in rich reds and greens for the maids of honour’s to wear in their hair. This could be one very pretty wedding, particularly in the season that most people love the whole world over. Maybe Father Christmas could pay a visit in his Ute and give out gifts to the guests – what fun....

The only drawback to having a Christmas Wedding that I can think of is that well into the future when you have children; it could become quite expensive to try and fit too many celebrations into the same day!

New Year’s Wedding: You could turn the whole ceremony upside down and have the black-tie party first – the reception –then get married on the stroke of midnight – serve lots of champagne – Have Fun. Then Party on until the next morning. That would be a New Year’s to remember! And every new year from then would have that added spark of meaning something super special to you.

Now these are the world wide celebrations that people enjoy however maybe you could choose a date specific to your country’s special celebrations and make it even more special to you, your family and your friends.
