Styling a Christmas Wedding: Bring Your Festive Vision to Life

There’s something truly magical about a Christmas wedding. From twinkling fairy lights to seasonal décor, the festive season provides a perfect backdrop for a warm, romantic celebration. Whether you’re dreaming of a full festive wonderland or just a subtle nod to the season, here are our top tips to make your Christmas wedding unforgettable.

Decide on Your Festive Style

The first step is to decide how much festive flair you’d like to incorporate into your day.

Go All-Out Christmas: For those who love everything about the season, embrace the festive magic with bold touches like Christmas tree centrepieces, bauble place settings, or wreaths adorning the venue. A palette of deep greens, rich reds, and shimmering golds will create a warm and luxurious winter wonderland. Incorporate seasonal florals such as holly, pinecones, and festive foliage for extra charm.

A Subtle Festive Touch: If understated elegance is more your style, weave festive details into your tablescape or décor. Think chic stationery with a seasonal motif, sprigs of rosemary or pine on place settings, and soft nods to Christmas through your colour scheme and florals. We also love to bring the sparkle here - just a shimmering touch to some of your decor can set a wintry scene perfectly.

Coordinate with Your Venue

Many venues embrace the festive spirit with their own decorations during the Christmas season, so it’s essential to check in advance what they’ll be styling.

Will there be a Christmas tree, garlands, or fairy lights already in place? By knowing this, we can create a cohesive styling plan to avoid repetition or colour clashes. If the venue has bold decorations, consider complementary tones and textures in your styling to seamlessly tie everything together.

Prepare for Picture-Perfect Portraits

Your wedding portraits are a lasting memory of your day, so think about how your festive styling will work for the camera.

A cosy corner with a roaring fire, a backdrop of sparkling fairy lights, or a statement Christmas tree decorated to perfection can all provide stunning settings for your pictures. If you still want outdoor shots, we can add seasonal props like fur throws, lanterns, or even a sleigh to bring a touch of festive magic to your portraits.
