Everyone loves the holiday season. Some people decorate months in advance, some throw wild parties for their favorite holidays, and some people even base their wedding around it. For many, there comes a question of taste: will a Mardi Gras wedding be tacky? Will a Halloween wedding seem childish? Here are some ways to incorporate your favorite holiday in a way everyone will enjoy.
Use the Holiday’s Color Pallet

One of the easiest ways to make a wedding feel like your favorite holiday, is to incorporate that holiday’s colors into your wedding. For those looking for a Christmas theme, have your main color be white with accents of red and green. For those looking to include Hanukkah, utilize blues, silvers, and whites. A Halloween wedding could include black with orange or purple accents.
Let the Holiday Inspire Your Menu

There are plenty of flavors that people associate with each and every wedding. Use this as an opportunity to incorporate your holiday into your wedding menu. The fall holidays often include food with a lot of cinnamon and spice. A Valentine’s Day theme would probably mean a lot of chocolate. Get creative with presentation and plating as well.
Make a Photo booth

Photo booths incorporate your theme with funny costumes, props, and backgrounds while leaving your reception area a little more subtle and modest. If you’re afraid of going heavy-handed on your theme, maybe nix one of the above options and instead include a photo booth, though this is a fun reception gimmick that adds to any wedding.
In the End, Do What Makes You Happy!

Often times, we let the opinions of family or close friend influence how we progress with their wedding plans. It is important that you look back on your wedding day with fond memories, not that you made everyone else happy. In the end, it is the couple’s special day. The couple should be making decisions for themselves, not for others. If you want your wedding to crazy and colorful, or quiet and simple, then do that.
