Your wedding during Christmas time can be the most wonderful time of the year. Yourg wedding anniversary would be Brides, you do not have to look like Mrs. Claus want they don't won't to.

Either way, you can make your wedding something to remember.

Ceremony. If your ceremony is going to take place in a church, it might already be decorated with poinsettias and a Christmas tree. That means you might save some money on decor. Candles and candelabras can illuminate your ceremony and give it some intimacy.

Attire. No matter what your wedding's formality, your must protect yourself the cold weather(depending on your location) . Capes, coats, jackets and other winter accessories are a must for this particular themed wedding. The last thing need to remember on your wedding day is you getting sick with a cold weather related illness. Thicker fabrics such satin, wool

Food and Drinks. Soup would be a great option for the occasion. It can war. Hot chocolate, hot coffee, hot tea and hot cider are great beverage options. As an alternative to the wedding cake for dessert, pie weather as sweet as apple or as savory as chicken pot pie. Doughnuts are also a delicious treat to go along with your hot cocoa.
