Holiday Weddings
I have to admit, I’ve always thought holiday weddings were romantic. I’m no fan of cold weather, but having a winter wedding around the holidays just seems nice. For me, the holidays are a time for families, friends, food, and fun – and a wedding incorporates all of this, so I see it as a perfect time. Plus, many locations already have decorations! Colors: If you’re planning a holiday wedding, it’s easy to incorporate all of the traditional colors of the season – the deep reds, vibrant greens, and soft whites. These colors create a festive, fun environment. Alternative winter colo...

Holiday Weddings
If you are considering having a wedding around the holidays...like Christmas and New Year's Eve, there are somethings to consider. First, Christmas weddings, while they sound wildly beautiful and romantic, can actually cause more problems. First, those who aren't immediate family usually have plans to spend the holidays with their immediate family (like your older aunts and uncles who have kids of their own, and possibly even grandkids). Travel may also be difficult because of the unpredicatable weather (particularly if you live in the Northeast or Midwest). Times may also be limited becau...

Holiday WeddingsThe following suggestion is based on my personal opinion and experience within the wedding industry. With Memorial Day quickly approaching many couples have chosen this Holiday Weekend for their nuptials, which has brought up the question of Holiday Weekend Weddings, and proper etiquette, if there is any. Many of your guests do plan weekend getaways and vacations around a long holiday weekend, throughout the spring, summer, fall and even winter. However, there will be many more Memorial Day weekends and long vacation opportunities, yet there will only be one wedding for you! My personal adv...

holiday weddings
I leave for the airport in a few hours and am putting off packing until the last possible second. (It’s a habit of mine not easily broken - I have been known to start packing for international trips an hour before I need to leave.) The fact that it is a holiday weekend has affected my travel time: flying out today versus tomorrow (Memorial Day) is a difference of $500 minimum in the ticket cost. Easy decision - Sunday it is.While this trip is not wedding related, the same rules apply when guests have to travel from out of town for your wedding.Think long and hard before choosing to have your...

A Holiday Wedding for the Budget BrideI loved Periwinkle Bud’s post, “A WinterWonderland,” and all her ideas for having a holiday themed wedding. At the time I was gearing up for holiday wedding myself. Two of my closest friends, Josh and Ansley, had their wedding in Greenville, SC at the Ryan Nicholas Inn. The inn itself was gorgeous, but what really surprised me was the lack of effort and funds they had to apply to decor. You see, when you wed during the holidays you can easily find a venue that is already decorated! Therefore your only decor budget are your bouquets and boutonnieres! Ansley and Josh were so fabul...
