Whether it’s the possibility of experiencing a white wedding with snow all around, the glorious spread of rich foods, or the romance in the air, there are so many reasons to love a Christmas wedding. And we’re sharing 10 of them with you in GIF format. You’re welcome.

1. Christmas songs

Think of all the festive music. If Mariah’s All I want for Christmas is You (or the memories of THAT 90s snowsuit) doesn’t get everyone on the dancefloor we don’t know what will. 

2. Time off

Forget booking annual leave off work. For Christmas weddings, you’re most likely already on holiday, which equals more holiday days throughout the rest of the year when it’s actually summer and nice weather(ish).

3. Venue decoration

Hotels and wedding venues have already done most of the hard work when it comes to festive decoration. This can only mean one thing…more honeymoon fund.

4. A ready-made theme

You get to milk an already fun theme that everyone is in on. Glitter, baubles, deers, twinkly lights - they are all already there and available to buy in stores (and for a snip).

5. EVERYONE loves Christmas

Everyone. Loves. Christmas. Well, nearly everyone. Which means they’re definitely likely to love a Christmas wedding. We mean, what’s not to love?

6. Availability

People often have a lot on at Christmas time, so choosing December for their wedding day can be fairly unusual, with summer weddings being a more attractive time of year. That means more availability at that incredible venue you’ve had your eye on. Whoop.

7. The chance of a white wedding
