Religious and commercial undertones aside, Christmas is a good excuse to meet up with long-lost family, spend time with friends and loved ones, and celebrate the occasion with a sumptuous feast. For this reason, Christmas eve or Christmas day can be the perfect occasion to get married and have a huge family reunion to celebrate. If you have a lot of relatives who’ll be traveling long distance to be with your family on Christmas, why not save them the next trip and hold your wedding on Christmas day too? Here are some creative ideas that can help you plan your Christmas wedding.

You don’t have to deck the halls with boughs of holly to get the Christmas theme across. All you have to do is incorporate a lot of red and green elements into your reception area and place a Christmas centerpiece on each table. For an aromatic and romantic effect, include cinnamon or pine-scented candles on the table and keep them lit.

The parol is a quintessential part of Filipino Christmases, so why not include a lot of stars in your wedding decor? Hang them from the ceiling, or hold the wedding reception outdoors and light up the area with actual parols.

A cute and slightly offbeat idea would be to have your flower girls wear elf or Santa Claus costumes instead of the traditional flower girl dress.

Thank your guests for coming to your wedding by giving out wedding favors that suit the holiday season. Try small Christmas trees, wreaths, or personalized tree ornaments.
