8 Reasons Why Christmas Weddings Are The Best

1. Venue Decorations

It's likely that around Christmas time, your venue will already be dressed in magical, festive decorations both inside and out. This means you don't have to spend quite so much on things like floral arrangements, fairy lights and lanters - they'll already be in place!

2. Festive Favours

You can easily feel a bit overwhelmed with the choice (and cost!) of wedding favours, but at Christmas time the natural theme keeps you on track. Candy canes are a very budget friendly favour solution which add a bit of festive cheer to your table decorations. If money is less tight, how about personalised Christmas baubles?

3. Faux Fur

The perfect excuse to wear an extravagent faux fur shawl or wrap? Your wedding! You'll feel incredibly glamorous arriving at the venue with this draped around your shoulders, and they're fantastic for keeping you warm in the chilly months. And did we mention how cute they look on the flower girls?

4. Stylish Suits

Winter favours the groom's outfit much better than summer. Suits can be awfully warm during the summer months, and the only real alternative is to go less formal with no jacket and perhaps no tie; something many brides don't want! Winter, however lends itself particularly well to a variety of stylish suits, from heavy wools and tweads, through to velvet dinner jackets.

5. Tasty Food

Christmas is undoubtedly a time for overindulgence when it comes to food, and your winter wedding now gets to have a slice of the pie! Your guests may have (already) had their fill of turkey, but the festive alternatives can be rather more exciting! The desserts are a chance to be exciting too. Summer desserts can be limited to lighter options, but cold winter nights call for sticky toffee pudding!
