Are you planning your dream wedding but also want to infuse a touch of Christmas spirit into your special day? Combining the joyous celebration of a wedding with the warmth and charm of Christmas can create a magical and memorable atmosphere! To help you achieve this, we have compiled a list of subtle ways to incorporate the festive season into your wedding day! :-)

1. Decorative Details

Integrate holiday decorations into your wedding decor by incorporating traditional Christmas elements. Adorn your venue with twinkling lights, evergreen garlands, and sparkling ornaments that complement your color scheme! Opt for centerpieces that feature festive touches such as pinecones, frosted greenery, or miniature ornaments. These subtle additions will infuse a hint of Christmas without overwhelming the overall aesthetic!

Not too keen of bringing decorations of your own? If you’re tying the knot at a hotel, there’s a chance that the lobby or other areas of the resort are decorated for the holiday season! Consider having the decor as your backdrop for photos as another way of adding the christmas decor to your special day without having to bring your own!

2. Festive Florals

Incorporate seasonal flowers into your wedding bouquets, boutonnieres, and floral arrangements! Choose blooms that are synonymous with winter, such as poinsettias, amaryllis, or white roses. Adding a touch of holly or mistletoe can also enhance the Christmas vibe in a subtle yet beautiful way! As some of these florals could possibly be difficult to find in Hawaii, consider adding similar types of flowers, or opting for faux florals as a way to include those specific plants to your wedding decor!

3. Delightful Dining

Infuse your wedding menu with delicious holiday-inspired dishes. Incorporate seasonal flavors like cranberries, cinnamon, and ginger into your appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Consider a hot cocoa or apple cider station to keep your guests cozy and warm! These culinary touches will not only bring the holiday spirit to your wedding day but will also leave your guests with a lasting impression!

4. Musical Moments

Embrace the spirit of Christmas with a carefully curated selection of music throughout the day! Include some classic Christmas songs during cocktail hour or reception dinner to create a cheerful ambiance. You can also surprise your guests with a Christmas carol sing-along during a special moment of your reception. This will surely fill the air with joy and get everyone in the festive mood!

5. Thoughtful Favors

Thank your guests for celebrating your special day with you by gifting them personalized Christmas-themed wedding favors! Consider small ornaments, customized stockings, or festive cookies beautifully packaged with a thank-you note. These precious mementos will serve as an annual reminder of your wedding day to all your guests!

6. Winter-Inspired Attire

Though you will be tying the knot in Hawaii, and it will remain a summery season in December adding winter-inspired or holiday related moments to your attire or your guests attire is a subtle way to add the christmas spirit in your special day! Brides can opt for beautiful snowflake inspired hairpieces, white and light blue floral hakus, while grooms may consider adding festive touches such as a boutonniere with holly or a Christmas-themed tie! These small details will not only keep you feeling the wintery season in Hawaii but also include the cozy ambiance of the season!
