We all know that it’s all about Christmas from the first of December. With the sparkling lights, bright colors, and pine cones, you can easily blend in the festive celebrations of holiday and wedding in fun ways. But that isn’t the only way to get creative with your wedding theme. Take the opportunity to channel your favorite shows and characters like this couple did in their moody Game of Thrones wedding.
Keep Warm With Tents & Hot Chocolate

Many couples shy away from weddings during the winter because the cold doesn’t always suit everyone. Plus, with all the jackets and coverups, you don’t get a chance to show off that stunning dress you bought! So if you’re considering an outdoor wedding, maybe get creative and opt for a clear tent where guests can enjoy the outdoors while also keeping warm! It also is an excellent reason to include hot cocoa as part of your beverage menu because what’s a cozy winter without the delicious drink?
Let It Snow!

Walking down the aisle as newlyweds becomes all the more dreamy when you have snow softly falling over you. And if it isn’t snowing, go for the next best thing – confetti! You can have your guests sprinkle some confetti over you as you celebrate finally becoming Mr. and Mrs. and bring the snow to you as this couple did. And as you can see, it makes for some memorable moments and fun photos that you can cherish forever.
Experiment With Colored Suit Options

We’ve already seen some winter dresses for the brides, but grooms can also go bold and show off their style with colored suits instead of playing it safe with the popular black tux. This is your time to expand your options and see what suit suits you best. Indian wedding attires not only look and make you feel like royalty but are great for keeping you warm. This groom and bride decided to match their shawl and veil while wearing pink and blue outfits with intricate detailing. That isn’t all, though! Winter weddings allow you to try on some fantastic chic velvet suits that have you dressed to the nines while keeping you comfortable throughout!
With all of these and more, you have a long list of creative ideas you can choose from. Explore your options and embrace the sweater weather, taking full advantage of all the hot chocolates, snow, and wintry themes you can play around with. After all, ’tis the season to be jolly, and fa la la la la la fall in love!
