Crisp, frosty landscapes, candles flickering on the window ledge, mulled wine simmering on a roaring fire as the snow falls silently outside, there’s something magical and unique about having a wedding at Christmas. In fact, the colder months are becoming an increasingly popular time for couples to tie the knot. If you are thinking about getting married during the winter season, take a look at five fabulous Christmas/winter wedding themes that might whet your appetite further to take the plunge and have a magical winter wedding.
1- An all-white wedding
Utopic winter settings are swathed in white as far as the eye can see. Make this winter utopia a feature of your big your day by having an all-white wedding. From an all-white décor, to white bouquets, from white table decorations to the bride, groom, bridesmaids and even the guests dressed in white, there is something timeless, classy, fairylike and, of course, memorable about an all-white wedding, particularly during the frosty months of winter.
2- A Christmas wedding
Being an exciting and magical time of the year, Christmas can be a fabulous time to have a wedding. Make your wedding ultra-Christmassy and do the time of year the justice it deserves. Incorporate classic Christmas colours throughout the whole of the wedding. Trim the wedding cake with green or red ribbon. Put up a Christmas tree at the wedding venue and adorn it in dazzling festive decorations. Make sure there’s plenty of Christmas nibbles for guests to feast on in front of a roaring fire, including mince pies and Christmas cake, washed down with lashings of mulled wine.
As the Knot advises in its winter wedding theme ideas feature, place Christmas centrepieces on wedding tables and “go beyond glowing candles to add both warmth and romance to your reception site.”
If you really want to make the most out of your Christmas-themed wedding, why not show up at the ceremony on a sledge, driven by Father Christmas himself?
3- A ski-themed wedding
Skiing is a favourite pastime of the winter, and if you’re skiing enthusiasts, why not make this popular winter sport the theme of your wedding? If you don’t fancy tying the knot in a cosy chalet in a Swiss ski resort, you could always replicate a snug ski environment closer to home. Hire out a cosy forest cabin, draped in ski clobber and stunning images of iconic ski resorts from around the world. For a truly authentic ski-themed wedding, ask guests to arrive on skies – all you’ll need now is the snow!
4- A winter wonderland
Transform your wedding into a winter wonderland and embrace the true beauty of the season you’re getting married in.
Add some white wonderland magic by scattering silvery flakes throughout the ceremony and reception. Complement your snowy scene by wearing a stunning winter wedding dress designed to tackle the chill whilst crafting breath-taking beauty.
5- Scandinavian
Scandinavian-style weddings are proving popular, particularly in the winter, when the bare, cleaned-lined look synonymous with Scandinavia complements the unembellished landscape of winter. Craft a Scandinavian-style wedding by opting for a simple, unfussy design. You may want to have your wedding ceremony in a frosty forest, where the trees are bare and the air is crisp and invigorating.
Opt to wear a simple and classically-designed wedding dress that helps augment the simplicity of the Scandinavian style. 
Whichever winter theme you opt for, having a wedding during the colder months can be invigorating, enchanting and unforgettable.
