Decorating can be so simple, since churches and many venues are already decorated. Add a few of your own touches, and a beautiful wedding is yours. Here are few ideas for a Christmas-themed wedding ceremony:
- line the entrance with luminaries
- decorate with pointsettas, wreaths, evergreen swags, ribbons and bows, pinecones, and candles
- arrive by horse-drawn sleigh
- have an usher hand out small bells to your guests to ring when you exit as husband and wife
- use fake snow for an aisle runner, or have your flower girl scatter snowflakes
- have your bridesmaids carry candles
- carry a bouquet of red roses- or a white muff
- the groom could wear mistletoe in his buttonhole
- have Christmas carols for music- maybe have a group of carolers or a children's choir
- print Christmas song sheets and tie with red ribbons for each guest to sing along
And don't forget to hang mistletoe in the doorways!
Christmas blessings,
