Christmas is considered the most magical and meaningful time of the year and everything looks more beautiful and graceful. Getting married on this period might seem a bit strange but this is actually an excellent choice.
The white, fluffy snow, the sparkling lights and amazing colors of this time of the year constitute the perfect setting for an exceptional wedding ceremony. The theme of the wedding is already established, the church is decorated and everyone is ready to share the young couple’s happiness and excitement. The only aspect that needs to be taken care of is the bride’s attire.
Fabrics and colors
December is definitely a cold month and whether the ceremony takes place indoor or outdoor the bride needs to maintain herself warm enough. Hence, Christmas wedding gowns are made of heavier yet high quality and elegant fabrics such as velvet, brocade, velour or matte satin. These will make the bride look charming and will allow her to feel comfortable during the whole ceremony. Although pure white is a traditional color for a wedding dress, brides can also choose a colored dress for their Christmas wedding. The most popular choices include burgundy or emerald. If they do decide for a white gown, they can add a few of the holiday colors by using accessories in shades of red, green, silver or ice blue.

Floor length wedding gowns are perfect for a Christmas wedding due to their ability to keep the bride warm. Long wedding gowns are also highly refined and very elegant, which is ideal for Christmas. The skirts are wide and luxurious and usually include a crinoline or a petticoat. This gives them a touch of grace and femininity. Long sleeved dresses are also excellent choices for colder days and hence, for Christmas as well. Long, soft sleeves with delicate embroidered details are very romantic and sophisticated. Regarding the neckline, Christmas wedding gowns have higher necklines in order to protect the bride from cold and respect the religious meaning of Christmas. In case the bride decides for a short sleeve dress or a deep cleavage she can use a delicate scarf to wrap her shoulder or even a fine bolero or jacket. Fur trims are also very popular.

Such a wedding gown will be completed by a long, beautiful train that will fit perfectly to the season’s formality and grace. Veils are also very important. A fine veil, with nice embellishments will complement the bride and make her look like a princess on her Christmas wedding.
A bride isn’t a bride without a wedding dress. Buy a wedding dress second hand. Check out your bulletin board at work for wedding dresses. Also check your local second hand or Goodwill stores for a wedding dress. Another inexpensive wedding dress option is to not buy a wedding dress. Consider buying a white, ivory, or off-white dress from a local department store. When it was time for my friend, Laura, to get married she was operating on a small budget. She found a beautiful off-white dress for $60. When you purchase a non-traditional wedding dress from a department store you can wear it again, unlike a traditional wedding dress. For example, Laura wore her wedding dress a few years later to her step-son’s wedding.
