We have compiled some inspiration for how to achieve a holiday themed wedding for some of the more popular holidays. Be prepared for all the holiday feels!

New Year’s Holiday-Themed Wedding

Just like the turning over of a new year, getting married is a huge life shift. Wave farewell to the past and welcome in the new! The New Year’s holiday and weddings evoke similar emotions of transition and sentiment, but also of celebration.

Go big. Go flashy. Reference customs such as the dropping of the ball, kissing at midnight, and New Year’s resolutions. Make games, activities, and decorations out of these classic details. And let the party go all night!

Independence Day Holiday-Themed Wedding

An Independence Day themed wedding captures more than just a holiday spirit. It also taps into the passionate patriotism of this celebratory American day. Talk about a win-win for a wedding theme!

You can make your dedication to this theme brilliantly obvious with bright red, white, and blue. Or you can take a more subtle route and simply use these hues to direct your themes and decor. Either way, your “something blue” will be more than covered.

Just as you can define a holiday however you desire, you can also decorate your wedding however you desire! If you are interested in theming your wedding after a holiday, don’t feel obligated to set your wedding date on the exact day of that holiday. Make your day your own and allow the inspiration of your favorite holidays to shape your decisions and guide your planning. And what a great excuse to extend the holiday celebration throughout your wedding planning process!
