The holidays are such a season filled with love! Family is
together, everyone is filled with joy from the most wonderful time of the year.
There are many pros to having your wedding day on a notable holiday, such as
Christmas or New Year’s, but there can also be things the holiday bride might
need to be aware of when planning her big day. So on our Wednesday morning meeting, we
decided to brainstorm a few tips to help!
Embrace the season.
You are sharing your wedding with a holiday to make it that much more
special (and it might even help you remember your anniversary). Give subtle nods to the season without going
overboard and making more about the holiday instead of you.
Bah Humbug
Not to be a Bah Humbug, but note that with the holidays, vendors will
be substantially more, so let your budget reflect that. Also, travel for guests will more expensive. Give your guests as much time as possible to
book flights and hotels with your Save the Dates and invitations. This will also be reflected in your RSVPs, so
expect a lower guest count. Many of your guests will be unable to attend due to
holiday parties and Christmas travel.
Stocking Stuffer
The holidays are expensive, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways
to save! Utilize the décor at the church and incorporate elements already
available in the season: winter spices and holiday greens. This will cut your
costs as well. You can also play up the
soft lighting with the twinkle lights that are sure to be at ever corner and on
every banister! It gives a beautiful ambiance and keeps you from having to buy
a 100 votive candles.
