Preferably something like 'The Perfect Pair' or 'Meant to Bee' or some thing to do with Christmas or related to marriage or love.. something thats not common and does not turn out to be too expensive either...a color or theme that could be used in the cards, bridesmaids dresses, decoration and favors etc.

How about either white or off-white with just a touch of glitter that is the same hue. Maybe to look like either snow or dew drops on the flowers. Outline the area with solid clear or the pearl-type Christmas lights. If you need table cloths, try finding a bolt of fabric, on sale, and hopefully you know someone who sews. That is just what I could think of off the top of my head so far. I would keep checking back. I am sure that I, and others, will probably come up with other ideas throughout the day.Congrats and best of luck to ya!

Since it's a Christmas wedding, maybe you could do something like a "Winter Wonderland" theme. For flower arrangements, you could use holly or poinsettias, and bridesmaid dresses could be ice blue or some other "cold" color or red and/or green.

Evoke the season with "ice" –diamond or diamond-like jewelry. 90% of wedding dresses are strapless or sleeveless, but that's not so practical for a bride who wants to take pictures outside, or needs to walk any distance. Look for wraps, shrugs, and capes, or dramatic coats. I've always loved the look of a bride in a white dress and a large red shawl, huddled against her groom who has a red boutonnière.Bridesmaids can have long red gowns...Planning the MenuYou can have all of your favorite food but add some winter touches like a squash dish, or warm pumpkin soup. Consider serving eggnog, spiced wine, or hot chocolate (alcoholic or non-) as special treats. Look for an all-white cake, decorated with snowflake patterns, silver embellishments, or sugar sculptures. Ask your caterer about using a decorative snow globe as a cake topperWinter Wedding FlowersDecide whether you want to go for a silver and white elegant look, or celebrate the season with reds and greens. For those who like silver, look for dusty miller, silver-dollar eucalyptus, and baby blue eucalyptus, mixed with white flowers such as roses, football mums, crocus, lilies and stephanotis. If you're looking for a brighter bouquet, consider red roses with holly and pine-tree greenery. In season flowers such as tulips, roses, and ornamental berries generally will be less expensive choices. (Talk to your florist, as your region may have different availability)The Décor for Your Winter WeddingDecorate your tables with simple and inexpensive white poinsettias, or fill the room with light by arranging pillar candles on a bed of pine branches At the after-Christmas sales, stock up on strands of small white lights, then string them decoratively around doorways, over tables and on archways. Bright red cranberries in a bowl surrounding floating candles make an easy and inexpensive centerpiece. Look at this article for other simple holiday centerpieces.. Or, decorate a pre-made gingerbread house for each table, and center it on a bed of greenery with candles around it. FavorsIf you and most of your guests celebrate Christmas, an ornament makes a perfect favor. An inexpensive homemade favor is a pretty tin of spiced hot chocolate mix or hot cocoa mix with marshmallows. Also consider a snow globe, with a bride and groom inside, or a holiday cookie cutter with a cookie recipe attached that says your names, wedding date, and "truly cut out for each other".

My idea is a traditional, old fashioned Christmas theme. You can decorate with snow-flake garland, stringing popcorn, etc... Not sure if you are religous or not but if you are...the invitations could read something like: What a glorious day, a blessed event, we are joined as one in the month of our lord's birthday. There are some beautiful crosses that you could get to decorate with. Just an idea....thanks for reading it!

Everything About Your Wedding Wedding Marketplace Buy and sale all wedding related products. Where and How to Start? There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky! Wedding Invitation Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you. Wedding Attire Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire. Wedding Flowers Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost. Wedding Ceremony Decoration Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority... Wedding Music Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances. Wedding Photography Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day. Wedding Favors Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you... Wedding Food Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget. Wedding Cake Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition Wedding Party The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
