Choosing the date of your wedding can be a challenge because there are so many different dates available throughout the year. Many couples shy away from having a wedding during a holiday because it may conflict with their guests’ schedules. Some brides may feel that a Christmas wedding may conflict with the type of wedding dress and bridal jewelry that they always dreamed of wearing. On the other hand, some couples prefer to have a Christmas wedding because it is a festive time of year and very special. Look at it this way, adding a wedding to the holiday season only makes the season that much brighter. If you are considering a Christmas wedding, however, there are some important things you need to keep in mind.
Tip #1 Save the Date Cards
Many brides choose not to send out save the date cards because they don’t feel that it is necessary. Some brides rather save their money and set it aside to use toward their wedding gown and bridal jewelry. However, if you are planning a holiday wedding then save the date cards are very important and the earlier that you are able to send them out, the better. Christmas is a very busy time of the year and many people host parties, travel, and have other engagements planned as earlier as a year in advance. So, if you want as many of your family and friends to attend your wedding as possible then you need to send out save the date cards really early.
Tip #2 Reserve the Church
If you plan on getting married in a church then you better choose your date as early as possible and have it approved by the church. Christmas is a busy time and there are many things going on like cantatas, worship services, Christmas plays, and the like. So, be sure to set a date after you have a list of the available dates from the church. This will save a lot of confusion and a lot of heartache. Additionally, if you plan to get married at a church outside of your own, be sure to find out their rules on appropriate attire. It would be very disappointing if you found out at the last minute that your dress and bridal jewelry violated the church’s dress code, especially during such an important holiday.
Tip #3 Be Festive
Getting married at Christmas time means that you need to be festive! It is an appropriate season to choose bridesmaids gowns in deep red with matching bridal jewelry. Also, white, and red flowers with greenery are most appropriate during the holiday season. Getting married at Christmas gives the bride a little more leeway to be as festive as she wants to be. In fact, it would be perfectly okay for her to choose a wedding dress with a little bit of fur or sparkle to bring out that Christmas spirit. A Christmas wedding is also a perfect excuse to kick it up a notch on the bridal jewelry.
Tip #4 Shipping
We currently live in a society where most consumers conduct their shopping online. However, shipments are usually delayed during the Christmas season because so many people are shopping online and via catalogs for gifts. With this said, it is important that you order your wedding gown and bridal jewelry as far in advance as possible in order to avoid shipping delays.
