The extra light will reflect on the bride\u2019s dress, making her glow (and feel) like an angel!<\/p>\n<p>But seriously, snow makes winter scenery gorgeous.

It will be well-worth the chill when they see how great the wedding photos turn out!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cons\"><\/span>The Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Among all of the romantic features of winter-themed weddings, Christmas weddings can go overboard\u2026<i>fast!<\/i> It\u2019s as simple as inviting too many guests so no one feels excluded, or including too many tacky Christmas decorations. Whatever your plans are, there\u2019s a chance that the wedding can go too over-the-top in the spirit of Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the scoop on what to watch out for if your clients decide to stick with a Christmas wedding date!<\/p>\n<h3>Expenses<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_228139018-1-edit.jpg\" alt=\"Giving a wedding gift during the holiday season\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_228139018-1-edit.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_228139018-1-edit-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The most dreaded word in the world of weddings: <i>expenses.<\/i> Still, we can\u2019t let you plan a Christmas wedding without warning you of the possible downfalls\u2014and this is a BIG one.<\/p>\n<p>The holidays are always expensive. Therefore, hosting a wedding during the Christmas season can add stress and financial strain on both clients and the guests.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it this way: people will still buy gifts and have their own family meals. All that costs a lot of <i>dough<\/i> (I know, bad pun). By attending a wedding during Christmas, guests may be expected to shell out on a hotel and a generous wedding gift.<\/p>\n<p>This adds up when finances are already pulled tight around the holiday season! And don\u2019t forget, having competition for any wedding date could make venue prices surge\u2014so advise your clients to take into account how many people are booking a Christmas wedding date if they don\u2019t want to up their budget!<\/p>\n<h3>Weather<\/h3>\n<p>Now, we said we want your clients to have those romantic photographs in a light snowfall. <i><b>However<\/i><\/b>, we can\u2019t guarantee that they won\u2019t get caught in a nasty blizzard!<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t want you to call off the wedding plans on account of a snowstorm or severe weather. Although that is worst-case scenario, it could still happen! With guests coming in from far away, a snowstorm could pose a major threat to the guest list.<\/p>\n<p>Think carefully about how the anxiety over the weather forecast will affect you and your clients\u2014you don\u2019t want added stress on the big day. If they still want that Christmas wedding despite this possible pitfall, you\u2019ll just have to risk it!<\/p>\n<h3>Guest Absences<\/h3>\n<p>Guests won\u2019t only be held back by bad weather. As we said before, families have their own holiday time planned too!<\/p>\n<p>A lot of families have annual dates for Christmas gatherings and meals. If your wedding plans coincide with these days, guests will have a difficult decision to make. Whether it\u2019s for a holiday meal or visiting friends and family out of town, Christmas is a time when a lot of people travel.<\/p>\n<p>They might rethink their plans if you do end up planning a Christmas wedding, but you never know! Maybe get your clients to take a poll before finalizing that holiday wedding date\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>Clich\u00e9s<\/h3>\n<p>Ah, Christmas clich\u00e9s. Where would we be without them?<\/p>\n<p>Clich\u00e9s comes in many shapes and colors, including Christmas tree trimmings and the classic red and green combo. Needless to say, it can easily overwhelm your client\u2019s wedding d\u00e9cor. Think of all the Christmas cards that will be masquerading as wedding cards!<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of ways a Christmas theme can overpower a wedding. Do you really want Uncle Joe belting out \u201cRudolph\u201d after he\u2019s been at the open bar for too long? Not an enticing picture when clients visualize their dream wedding.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/02\/warming-up-a-winter-wedding-8-hot-decor-trends\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Winter d\u00e9cor<\/a> can be tasteful and elegant\u2014but watch out for sneaky Christmas clich\u00e9s when choosing centerpieces and venue ornaments.
