Tips for marrying on holidays:

The two holidays mentioned are the most popular for couples to exchange their vows. Though all holidays are busier than non-holidays. When planning your wedding on any of these days you need to make sure you start the arrangements much earlier than you would for any other day. Even 6 months may not be too early depending on the holiday. If you do not, you will find everything is taken and you will not be able to schedule anything for the holiday you choose.

Dressing for the occasion:

Since you have chosen to be married on a holiday, the theme should be kept throughout the wedding and the reception. Listed are some ideas you can use for keeping in the holiday spirit of your wedding day. Remember always start your wedding ceremony on the half hour so the minute hand it moving upward, this is said to bring a happy marriage. Marrying on the hour while the minute hand is headed downward and is not a good start for your marriage, meaning it may not last.

New Year’s is formal and a party night. Dress is something sleek, and formal. Have the person who marries you to pronounce you man and wife at the stroke of midnight to ring in the New Year’s with, “You may now kiss the bride.” Instead of the traditional rice throwing, give your guests confetti, and noise makes for when the ceremony is over.

Valentine’s Day is red; your theme should be red hearts and flowers. Bridesmaids in red, the bride carrying a red bouquet. At the reception, keep it red with hearts and flowers on the tables.

Skipping to Christmas. Having a Christmas tree behind the person who marries you, looks very nice. The bride carrying poinsettias with tiny pine-cones for her bouquet. The groom can use small poinsettias or peddles from the poinsettias in their lapel. At the reception, have many Christmas trees, use pine-cones, and pine needles for the center pieces, with red bows tied around the vases.

These are the main holidays, for others follow the color scheme of the holiday. Example, St. Patrick’s day would have a green theme with pots of gold at the end of the rainbow as centerpieces at the wedding reception tables. Incorporate the theme of the holiday from the wedding to the reception. This will make your holiday and your wedding festive and an event you will never forget.
