If you go overboard with red, green, and evergreen, the photos from your Christmas wedding will look like the outtakes from Santa’s workshop. But a winter wedding can be totally chic. Here are my DOs and DON’Ts for making your winter wedding gorgeous, not gaudy.
DO Venture Outside in the Event of Snowy Weather. Will you freeze? Yes. Will it be worth it? Hell, yeah.
DO Use Your Venues' Holiday Decorations for Photo Ops. Don’t let all that mistletoe and holly go to waste.
DO Copy This Amazing Ornaments Bouquet
So much cheaper than fresh flowers in the dead of winter—and it’ll last forever.
And These Candy Cane Place Cards. Although I’d do a white ribbon. Red, stiff, and sparkly seems like a bit much.
DO Use Muted Green and Pink Instead of Kelly Green and Red. Bold red and green are just visually jarring, and the combo feels majorly “done” this time of year.
DO Gift Guests With Personalized Ornaments. (Their names, not yours!) Use ’em as place cards, if you’re assigning seats, or favors, if you’re not.
DON’T Make Your Bridesmaids Wear Santa Robes. Just don’t. Although I’m glad this bride did! The photos is priceless. The groomsmen’s suits are so on-point, too. Let’s call it a DO for them, a DON’T for everyone else.
