JoAnn Gregoli of Elegant Occasions gave us some great ideas for Christmas-themed weddings. There are so many ways to spread holiday cheer on your big day.

1. Decorate the reception room with live Christmas trees

They smell amazing!

2. Ask guests to sign an ornament in place of a guest book

Guest books that have a second purpose or double as decor are the best.

3. Hire carolers to welcome guests at cocktail hour

What a fun entertainment addition!

4. Arrange poinsettias to line the aisles at your ceremony


The perfect flowers for the season.

7. Gingerbread cookie make great favors

What an adorable, and yummy, send off!
