Christmas Wedding Planning

Christmas wedding it's the most wonderful time of the year, your family is gathered around you, and the church is already decorated. Why not have a Christmas wedding? Here are ideas and tips to have a fantastic Christmas wedding with all the trimmings.
Wedding Colors:
Red and green are natural colors for a Christmas wedding – It is likely that your church or reception site will already be decorated in red and green for other events and holiday parties. But don't feel limited to this palate. Other possibilities, which will work with existing decorations, include:

* silver and white
* silver and light blue
* burgundy, forest green, and gold (as long as the existing decorations aren't too primary)
* gold and cream

Christmas Wedding Invitations:
You'll want to reflect the season and your theme, but you won't want it to look like a holiday card. The solution? Forgo a folded card, opting for the traditional thick white card, with a border and engraved or thermo-graphed text. You can highlight the Christmas wedding theme in the border with white snowflakes, an elegant holly trim, or a drawing of a poinsettia.

Since people make plans for the holidays early, and often have many parties and events to attend at this time of year, you'll want to send your invitations a little bit early – about 12 weeks before the event. You might also consider "save the date" cards in addition to the invitations, which will ensure that those most important to you will be able to attend.
Wedding Cake:
Having each tier look like an individually wrapped package is a popular look that is perfect for a Christmas wedding. You might also do a take on a buche noel or yule log, with a tiered chocolate cake that has holly – either real or made of gum paste – cascading down the side. Use marzipan, an almond paste used in many holiday desserts, as a filling.
Bridesmaids Attire for a Christmas Wedding:
My favorite bridesmaid look for a Christmas wedding is long dresses with shrugs or capelets and a big faux-fur muff. But you can dress them in your wedding colors, give them long wraps or sparkly accessories, all of which will help evoke your theme.
And the Bride Wore:
A Christmas wedding dress needn't be that different from any other kind. Wear the one that flatters you most, and top it off with a long red velvet cape. Or embrace the trend of color in wedding dresses by adding a beautiful red silk sash to the waist of your gown. You could also seek a dress with lots of sparkly beads and sequins to evoke the snowiness of the season. And of course, a faux-fur wrap and muff are always fun.
Flowers and Décor:
Since flowers can be more expensive at this time of year, think creatively. A mirrored platter with pillar candles and sprigs of holly is both elegant and romantic. Buy ornaments in bulk on-line, and create centerpieces of bowls or vases of ornaments. For a simple but elegant look, put pots of poinsettia with a ribbon trim in the center of each table. Fake snow used to be tacky, but there are now very good products available. Set candles or small flower arrangements in the middle of snow. And for my favorite touch, use fake snow instead of an aisle runner. Or, you can always hire a snow-making machine to really make your Christmas wedding a winter wonderland.

So you have decided that 2009 is the year that you are going to be tying the knot. Congratulations. Now you're faced with all the decisions every bride has to make: what on earth am I going to wear? The dress is probably pretty straightforward-white is traditional, or you could buck tradition and wear some bright pink. Dresses do have trends from year to year, but you really want to focus on what will make you feel beautiful, special and most of all-comfortable.

Once you have the dress choice narrowed down for both yourself and your wedding party, then you are faced with choosing wedding jewelry. Jewelry is an ever evolving fashion field, and what is hot this year can be colder than ice the next. If you pride yourself on always being in the know on current jewelry trends and want to apply your fashionista sense to your wedding party, read on to find out what the hot trends in wedding jewelry are for 2009.

Trends for this year seem to be veering away from what Victorians and ladies of old loved-elegant and dainty. This year's wedding jewelry is bigger, bolder and even chunkier than things that have been showcased in past years. When the word bold is used, here it is meant to describe pieces of jewelry with a lot of movement and swing. Dangling, loose earrings are very big for 2009, and if you combine that with bright jewels you will have all your wedding guests in awe.

Jingly bangle bracelets (yes, like the ones you may have stacked on your wrist as a teenager or young girl) are a huge hit these year. While these might not be traditional wedding wear, stacked bracelets can help walk the line between fresh and traditional if they are in simple metals like gold and silver. Some bangles can be found online featuring sparkling crystals-they might make great gifts for your bridesmaids.

If you like the idea of having a tattoo on your forearm but can't commit to being inked forever, you can dress up your wedding day style with a great trend for 2009. Many weddings this year will feature arm cuff bracelets. These are bigger than just a normal wrist cuff-imagine a solid piece of jewelry extending from your wrist anywhere up to your elbow. These are big, prominent pieces of jewelry, whether you get them simple in silver or gold, or whether you look for cuffs decorated with chunky bits of brightly colored stones. Not for the faint of heart, they are a huge hit this year.

If you are the kind of bride who gravitates toward colors in the "natural" color palate spectrum, you will be thrilled to know that one of the hot wedding jewelry trends for 2009 is jewelry made from "chocolate gold." This rich brown shade is popping up on runways and bridal isles everywhere this year, and its deep, delicious color compliments nearly every skin tone. It is a perfect compliment to white and cream wedding dresses, and you can even find stunning cultured pearls to match.

Diamonds will always be in style, and this year's wedding season is no exception. What is in style for diamonds this year, however, is diamonds in the raw. Raw gemstones are diamonds that are left in the natural state-not cut down, not shaped, not altered in any way except to be cleaned up after being pulled out of the ground. Raw diamond cubes and gemstones are a fantastic way to keep up with current wedding jewelry trends while adhering to a strong sense of jewelry tradition.
