Now when I say holiday wedding, I
don’t mean orange and black tablecloths adorned with spiders and cobwebs, but
rather an elegant theme of cream, browns, and rust to complete the perfect fall
wedding or a wedding complete with deep red colors for the winter.
For many couples, the hardest part
of planning your wedding is finding a date when family and friends can travel
to the same city to celebrate your big day! In this grown up world, vacation
days are harder and harder to come by. By planning your wedding day around
holiday, there may be a better chance that more of your out of town guests will
be able to make it!
In addition to providing an excuse
for all your out of town guests to have a mini-vacation, having a holiday
wedding can cut down on your wedding expenses. For example, the entire month of
December, many churches and wedding venues will decorate with beautiful trees
and garland. This will not only give you a perfect backdrop for your winter
nuptials, but also cut down on the cost of decorations and flowers. Another
trend we have seen in the last few years is the use of pumpkins as centerpieces
or aisle markers. Pumpkins are inexpensive and easy to find from late September
to November, making them a great resource for your big day! If you are planning
on booking a venue around a holiday, you may want to inquire about the
decorations they may already have or plan to have.
