A Christmas wedding practically begs for cozy textures, warm lighting, and festive touches — but the best part? Many of those decorative details don’t need to be used on one day only. With good pre-planning, your Christmas wedding décor can become heirlooms, holiday traditions, and permanent pieces in your home. Here are the most beautiful ways to design a festive wedding and build a décor collection that lasts long after the last dance.

Garlands and wreaths
Evergreen garlands and wreaths are classic, timeless and instantly festive. Once the day is over you can reuse them on your fireplace or staircase, add neutral velvet ribbon to add an elegant touch and use mini wreaths as chair or table settings.

Velvet ribbons and textiles
You’ll know by now my obsession with velvet, it instantly elevates winter decor and works well with almost every Christmas colour palette. Use your velvet ribbons throughout your home during the holiday period on your tree, as mantle decoration, to tie napkins or on your gift wrapping.

Lanterns and candleholders
Using lanterns and candles at your wedding will add instant warmth and atmosphere. These can easily be used around your home all year round not just at Christmas! Fill lanterns with fairy lights to illuminate little corners of your home, add velvet ribbons to the lantern handle for an extra touch of festive cheer and dress your dining table with them.
When you are shopping for and planning your Christmas wedding think ahead with longevity in mind. Choose items that will stand the test of time, that you can use year after year – they’ll be a yearly reminder of your beautiful wedding day.
