For couples that love the magic of the holidays,  a December wedding can create the perfect day for brides and grooms. A winter wedding also brings with it, themes that beautifully compliment the big day.  Proving to also be a bit more unique, Christmas themed weddings aren’t always as common. Those couples that want to “think outside the box” might opt for a wedding near Christmas! Below, Save the Date’s Wedding Music Planner will cover different  themes and what winter wedding music would best compliment those themes.

According to chamberplayers.com, “December weddings have many advantages and provide a rich repertoire of music.”

One great advantage of a December wedding is that churches, event halls, and hotels are already beautifully decorated for Christmas. This alone, provides a great atmosphere for a winter wedding. Imagine a wedding and reception decorated for the holiday season.
