Festive Jewelry for Holiday Weddings
Get into the spirit of a holiday wedding with festive jewelry! Special earrings, bracelets, and necklaces with a holiday twist are the perfect way to set the stage for a Christmastime wedding. Unique jewelry with a holiday theme is ideal for everyone from the bride to the bridesmaids to the flower girl; read on for suggestions on how to pick the perfect pieces for your wedding.
One fantastic idea for holiday wedding jewelry is pieces which have been handcrafted with Swarovski crystal snowflakes. The carefully shaped crystals twinkle and glimmer, just like a frosty winter day. They are perfect for anyone in the wedding party (or for the wedding guest looking for a festive pair of earrings to complete her outfit for the big event). The Swarovski snowflakes are so intricate and beautiful that they look best in a simple design, such as on a pendant or as the main decorative element on a pair of drop earrings. They make fabulous bridesmaid jewelry gifts, and are also wonderful for the bride and the mothers of the bride and groom. Best of all, you will be able to enjoy a set of Swarovski crystal snowflake jewelry all winter long.
If you are planning a true Christmas theme wedding, complete with poinsettias, holly, amaryllis, and evergreen boughs, you will want equally traditional holiday themed jewelry. A marvelous idea is Swarovski crystal earrings which are handcrafted to look like tiny perfect Christmas trees! They are absolutely unique, and will be a real conversation starter. Green crystals are layered to form a “tree”, and then finished off with a crystal trunk and a red “star” topper. These precious earrings make ideal gifts of jewelry for a bridesmaid, junior bridesmaid, or an older flower girl. They would be spectacular with red or green bridesmaid dresses.
Everyone loves a snowman, and that is another fun motif for winter wedding jewelry. Little snowman earrings are great for a wedding in any winter month, not just December. They are handcrafted in either Swarovski crystals or pearls, complete with black crystal “top hats”. Unique snowman earrings are not only wonderful for the wedding party, but they also make sweet thank you gifts for anyone involved in your wedding, from the bridal shop owner to your wedding coordinator. These special pieces will help to make your entire wedding party get into the spirit of your holiday wedding. Best of all, holiday theme jewelry can be enjoyed over and over each holiday season.

One of the best things about planning a holiday wedding is that there are so many beautiful options for décor. Unlike at other times of the year, every store is filled to the brim with decorations that fit the theme of your wedding – think about how lucky you are! As Christmas draws near (and especially after Christmas for those planning a wedding for next year), you will find that many fantastic items are on sale, and you can put together a big look for only a little money.
A great place to start is with tiny white lights. They can be used to decorate potted trees, in centerpieces, draped from the ceiling – there is almost no area that can’t be made more festive with twinkling white lights. Before you rush out and buy them, ask around: your friends and family probably have tons of white Christmas lights that you can borrow for your wedding. How great would it be to get such a beautiful design element without spending a dime?
Simple Christmas ornaments can also be a nice way to decorate for a holiday wedding. To keep your wedding from looking like a Christmas party, avoid using red and green ornaments together. Instead create color combinations like red and gold or green and silver. Silver and gold also look very elegant when paired together. The basic round ball ornaments can be used to decorate in a variety of ways. One of the simplest things you can do is to fill tall glass cylinders or hurricane lanterns with round ornaments in a few sizes. It couldn’t be easier, but it creates a beautiful and chic centerpiece. Fill it out by surrounding it with a boxwood table wreath and glowing white candles.
If you are into sparkle and shine, there are lots of fun things you can get to decorate for a holiday wedding on a budget. Brides who love the look of dazzling crystal bridal jewelry can create a magical crystal-filled reception room using crystal or glass snowflake and star ornaments suspended from the ceiling. The aforementioned white lights will reflect like crystal bridal jewelry dangling from the ceiling of your venue. It would be fabulous for a New Year’s Eve wedding!
Holiday weddings are fun for so many reasons, and the great décor of the season is certainly one of them. If you take the time to shop around, and borrow what you can from friends and family, you will be able to get a stunning look very inexpensively. Which is great news – then you can splurge on an extra-special Christmas gift for your brand new husband or wife!
