Christmas wedding theme is common as many couples find Holiday season the perfect time to tie the knot. Getting married during this season is also fun and economical since churches and reception areas are already decorated with traditional decor that goes well with the Christmas theme wedding.

Here are some tips and ideas for a Christmas Theme Wedding

1. Check with your church beforehand because they may already have decorated for christmas. If not, try christmas lights wrapped in tulle or white ribbon. This will give a snowy, romantic effect. Other option is luminaries lining the church driveway are a really neat decoration and cheap too.



2. At the reception, you may want to have strands of Christmas lights at your reception. Drape them over doorways, staircases, food service tables, the wedding cake table, and just about any place that needs a little mood light. You may also consider to put a Christmas tree and hang Christmas ornaments that can also serve as your wedding favors for the guests.
   
   Garden venues like the Father Blanco’s Garden, Patio Victoria and Fernwoods Garden are perfect for this type of theme. The trees inside the area are even decorated with strands of lights that adds elegance to the ambiance.



3. Choose wedding attire for the bridesmaids and groomsmen that match the colors and fabrics of the season. Shades of green and red are very popular.
4. The bride and groom may choose to arrive at the reception by horse-drawn carriage or sleigh if it would be possible for you to do so. One of your Christmas wedding ideas might include having your sleigh driver dressed as Santa.
5. For music, mix Christmas carols (classic and contemporary) with other favorites. You also could arrange a Christmas music sing-a-long, or have carolers stop by at each table. This would be a great activity to get the children involved in the wedding.
6. You can send invite fashioned like a Christmas card. As Christmas cards become less and less popular, an invite with that theme is a novelty.

Statistically in the Philippines, December is the month with the most number of weddings. That means you have to book your church and reception well ahead of time. If you can, try to avoid the most sought after churches like the Manila Cathedral and San Agustin Church. There are churches that are equally beautiful like the National Shrine of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Guadalupe Church.

Finding a reception is also difficult for this season so just like the church, it must be booked at least a year. You’ll find that there are dates(especially weekends), that are booked two years in advance. The tip here is to choose any day other than Saturday so Sunday is your next choice.

But at any rate, Christmas season is still one of the best time for your wedding. The mood is festive, it is a time for giving and definitely, it is a time for love. And as we have said, the lights and decorations may help you cut cost.
