Deck the Halls with a Christmas wedding seating plan
| Tweet |
Chestnuts roasting by the open fire, mulled wine, carols sung by choirs and sleigh bells ringing – what a lot of inspiration for a festive seasonal Christmas wedding. Read about three UK couples who did just that, with their Christmas themed festive wedding days proving that its the most wonderful time of the year!
Tara and James in Surrey
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas… Blue skies and fresh white snow greeted Tara and James on their wedding day. Festive guests arrived at the reception venue courtesy of a 1912 bus, and were warmed up with mulled wine on arrival. During the evening, Christmas films were projected across the walls, and professional dancers performed the seasonal Nutcracker ballet.
Tara and James named the tables after Father Christmas’ reindeers – can you remember all of their names? (Answers at the end!) They also used ivy to decorate the wedding seating plan.
Emma and Karl in Lancashire, Jan 2011
Another snowy day in January 2011 greeted Emma and Karl, who had carol singers and a big brass band to play Christmas music on their wedding day. The bride carried a beautiful bouquet which was designed around an icicle them.
Emma and Karl’s wedding seating plan was cleverly created using a Christmas Welcome ring (a large Christmas wreath). Their top table was lit with twinkling fairy lights and the wedding cake decorated with Christmas foliage including mistletoe, Christmas roses and white magic.
Amy and Jim
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Rich purple, silver and magenta paired with snowflakes and sparkling crystals decorated Amy and Jim’s winter wonderland wedding.
The seating plan used glittering festive names, such as sparkle, twinkle and shimmer. The table décor matched the wedding theme, with purple ribbons on napkins and snowflakes on place cards. Favours for guests were hung on a beautiful tree, which was then transformed into a wishing tree, where guests wrote their good wishes on labels decorated with snowflakes.
Sunny Christmas weddings
Of course, Christmas does not always bring snow and chilly feet – the southern hemisphere sees roaring temperatures, lazy days on the beach and warm sunshine at Christmas. Traditional holly, stars, mistletoe and Christmas trees look fantastic placed on a backdrop of pristine white sand and blue skies, so if all you want for Christmas is a wedding without the chill, why not consider travelling abroad?

Kissing under the mistletoe and rocking around the Christmas tree – a romantic, festive and unique Christmas wedding that everyone will remember for years to come. Have yourself a merry little Christmas!
(The reindeer’s names – well, there is Rudolph of course. The others are: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen. Now, read the article again and see how many festive song quotes you can find!)
