If you are looking to save a little money and want to get married in the winter, a holiday wedding is an excellent choice. Over Christmas and New Year’s, venues are decked out in their holiday finery. You can have an elegant wedding with less expensive if you get married during this time of year. Here are some tips to help.

Utilize Existing Decor

Find out how the venue you are using will be decorated, and try to work with it in your own planning. This will help you save money, and often venues are decorated with the help of decorating professionals, giving you an elegant look to your wedding. You can add a few floral arrangements that bring your unique tastes into the picture, and have a festive, beautiful wedding with minimal effort.

Tell People Early

If you still have time, tell people early about your wedding date. Remember, this time of year is busy for people for a variety of reasons. The sooner you tell them your date, the more of a chance you will have of having the people you care about attend.

Choose the Right Bouquet

Because your venue may already be decorated, your bouquet is going to become the focal point of your floral purchases. Choose from one of four popular styles: Cascading, contemporary,  or hand-tied. Red, white and blue are popular colors for holiday bouquets as well. Keep in mind that you will want to match your bouquet colors to the colors the venue will be decorated with, so ask ahead before you order your flowers.

The holiday season, with its twinkling lights and happy feelings, is an excellent time to consider a wedding. Make plans for your holiday wedding now, and enjoy starting life together at one of the most festive times of year.
